Tuesday, January 6: Insurrection 5️⃣ Years Ago. Dr Nalla

Good day everyone. Today it was five years ago, January 6, 2021 when Trump instigated an insurrection as the 2020 election was being certified.

I remember being at work at home and watching David Pakman report on it live I was mesmerized and just quietly shocked by what was going on. They didn’t arrest the people right away. They

let everyone go and then they chased them all down just for Trump to end up pardoning all the fuckers when he got into office for a second time this past 

January. Anyway, I woke up got dressed headed to Mike’s. Got there before the nurse did the nurse came and then I had to run off to DM Medical to get a blood draw. They said it was the last time I’ll have 

to make a formal visit to the office the rest of the time I’ll be reporting via online app or a phone call. It’s 11:50 AM I’m about to have lunch. Hopefully I’ll get Mike to 

do his exercise before I leave today. I have to leave early because I have an appointment with Dr. Nala where I have to be there by 3:05 PM. I will 

not be doing any yoga today due to this appointment. I had lunch and the occupational therapist showed up and walked in the door and we didn’t know 

she was coming, cause she kept calling Mike’s number fortunately Tony gave her the code to the key, and Mike did some exercises with her. Mike took a nap and then we did. He did some walks


back-and-forth. It’s now 2:37 PM. It’s pretty cloudy out here and I’m good and ready to Uber out to this appointment because I don’t feel like 

walking 20 minutes to my appointment. I’m gonna try to sign in and sign out not as early if I could help myself. I’m going to see Dr. Nylla about

my shoulder. We really had to work hard to get this appointment. well, I went with LIFT to wait and save and the driver was picked up very quickly and it was only a six minute wait. I left around 2:50 PM and 

signed out. I’m heading to Dr. Nylla‘s appointment. They want you there at 3:05 I’ll get there at 3:05 PM approximately. I’m gonna meet 

Mary there as well. We’re gonna go over my left shoulder and maybe both shoulders while we’re at it. I arrived at 3:02 PM and I had to check in with the redundancy machine a.k.a. they’re checking in computer. This 

even though I did the pre-check on my phone. The redundancy is pretty amazing. Mary isn’t quite here yet, but my appointment isn’t until 3:20 PM, but they want you to come 10 minutes early so I can look at the walls and play with my phone and shit. I’m good at that. I saw Dr. Nala today. Took off my shirts and showed her the winging that’s going on on my left side. We had a very frank discussion

about the whole thing. She’s going refer me to neurology. In the meantime, she’s gonna give me gabapentin for the nerve pain at night and I am scheduled

for a EMG. The closest appointment was March 9 at 8 AM. She was a useless schedule the rehab so I have to call the rehab place the same place I went to before and get that scheduled. She didn’t see any needfor an MRI or a or an ultrasound. But we are in there for a while and it’s just the same thing it’s gonna be a slug. Mary joined me and asked their own questions. So now I have to schedule for neurology 

which you have to call because there’s no available appointments on the system rehab which is available very soon, but I don’t know when the schedule an EMG is scheduled for Monday, 

March 9 at 8 AM. We left Jefferson and walked to Mom’s market at 11th and Ludlow. Got some burgers, salsa and sprouts for tonight‘s dinner. We then went to CVS picked up a couple items and then went back to 

the Dorchester. Why were we there? We decide to have dinner early because we didn’t have yoga and I also have choir practice at 7:00 PM. 🍔 . I then got notice my prescription was ready

at the CVS on 15th and Spruce so I had to leave Mary’s early at around 6:30 PM to go walk CVS and then walk back to resurrection. So succeed in doing that and got here around 6:55 PM here at the

resurrection Church. I also got notification in my items mailed to Hurley Court. Made it. I just wanted to have some kind of food so that worked out. Today, West cold but not frigid 

cold like it has been it’s starting to warm up a little bit. But my chiropractor was pretty good today. I must say. Dan was in a good mood and mostly everybody showed up. It was held at the resurrection church, which is at 17th and Sansom, which is a lot closer. Generally, it’s a good thing but today I had to pick up my script for the gabapentin for nerve pain. Tonight, I’m going to 

take it and see how it does.

Monday, December 29: Dr Stillman, Shoulder Rain ☔️ & Stuff

Happy cloudy Monday, my friends out there in the Internet. Go look up morning with   a sore shoulder. I ate breakfast and then headed out to the Market Frankford line. I’m glad I put an extra money in the card 



cause I had to run out of money on my card yesterday. Anyway, I got the Mike’s around 9️⃣ , which seems to be the only time I can end up getting it there. Anyhow, the young lady who does 

the caregiving did not go downstairs to the trash area because Mike wasn’t sure if she could handle doing that so there are a lot of boxes here a 

couple things I ordered but mostly stuff Mike ordered so I brought all the boxes down. I then had an early lunch because I had a last-minute doctors 

appointment set up with Dr. Stillman at 12:15 PM. I was very delighted that he was able to see me. He’s only around for two days this week. Anyhow, I went 

down there and he took a look at my back and immediately wanted to talk to Dr. Nala, who of course didn’t answer because Dr don’t answer 




directly even to other doctors believe it or not. It just went to voicemail, but he said he would really make every effort to get a hold of Dr. Nala 

and the Doctor Who did the electronic test to verify that I had Parsonage Turner syndrome. I then walked home thankfully it didn’t rain on the 

way home like it rained on the way there. I was dried up by the time. I got the Mike’s. I then did a little more sweeping talk to Mary about getting

new yoga shorts and confirm that I ain’t doing any yoga today and letting my back rest. I do have a massage tomorrow and we’ll see

how that helps. Yeah, I talked to Marion. It’s really unrealistic that I would do yoga today. I would just be aggravating. It’s already aggravating me. Anyhow, I’m gonna work till 4 o’clock approximately


a little after and get my full eight hours in. I did do my timesheet from Christmas when I forgot to sign out. I’ve been good about signing out because the whole signing out with signatures as a pain in 

the butt. Suppose that I’m going to get a bonus for my one year anniversary we’ll see what kind of bonuses is. I’m gonna go to Mary and do an 



Epson salt bath, which should make me feel a little better. Well, I walked out from Mike’s around 4:11 PM and low and behold the wind is gusting. The skies are clearing out. The clouds are swiftly 



moving away. It’s also much colder the high today was 53°. It’s now approximately 40° out. Well, I went back to the Dorchester and immediately got myself an Epson salt bath, which felt really good. Also talked to Donna and Larry. Mary got home. Said it was a good class. I’m heading to the MONDAY Night Beginners meeting. The temperature is dropped 8° since my first got to Mary’s. It’s also a lot windier.
