Thursday, November 20: Scuba🤿 Form & Yoga



Greetings! Today is Thursday. Woke up ate breakfast took my medication‘s and some reason I got really warm and sweaty like I was having hot flashes and shit. I get that once in a while when I 

take my meds. Anyhow, I went to Mike showed up about a half hour late as per usual. Did a little bit of cleaning up around the house. Mike said he didn’t feel all that great. I also told Mike that Pat

would call him up about getting a title for a motorcycle where the title is nonexistent. Mike could make some money from this. It’ll be a win-win all the way around. Today I have to get a 

medical clearance form completed by Dr. Stillman so I could do my scuba diving in Cozumel Mexico in January. That’s coming around the corner. Speaking of trips we’re trying to decide on 

Alaska and the peace retreat in Costa Rica in March. It isn’t keeping that we go somewhere every two months it’s the way of retirement should be I think. Well, I went to Dr. Stillman‘s and Mary came

right after me. My blood pressure is good. My post was 51. Norman blanked and that was with super coffee. I think it explains it why I’m a little like low energy. Anyway, it still moves very cool and he filled 

out the forms for us and we chitchatted then Mary’s went to Mom’s organic and I and I went to CVS to pick Mike’s meds up and a couple food items. Yes, I did buy an ice cream he requested it and 

I figured he hasn’t had any in a while. Next stop is the Health south to pick up his trazodone sleep aid and then I’m just gonna sit because it’s 1:08 PM already and I need to sit and do nothing for a while


Mike’s line been lying down a lot today. Sis he’s very tired. Well, I came back from my errands ate lunch and then did a little cleanup in the area


across from Mike’s bed which was needed. It went pretty well. Both 😁Nichole and Tony contacted Mike that they’re coming over

tomorrow. Nicole at 10 AM and Tony is around two to 2:30 PM. I think got myself ready to go to class today. I think I rested enough. I felt a little winded today or something. My pulse was 51. My weight was 179 pounds. Well, we went to Shalice‘s class at 4 o’clock. Wasn’t that many people in class today. The class is nice and brisk and it wasn’t quite as hot as dance class was yesterday. We hung out at the studio for a while and relaxed and unwound, which



 is always good! Anyhow, we got back to Mary’s order some Indian lucky I had changed me because he didn’t have any change for the 50 I usually give them. Anyway, I’m gonna be catching the 752 bus which is running late, which is fine with me because I always enter almost missing it every time cause two blocks feels longer when you’re trying to catch it on time.

Thursday, September 11: Mike’s Yoga & Meeting

Hey boys and girls! I woke up really tired, but at least I slept through most the night which was clutch. I got the Mike’s and did a little bit of cleanup and then I went to Dr. Stillman‘s appointment. We basically talked about me getting Covid, my arm my shoulder and he’s recommended I could get the flu shot in late October And the same thing with the Covid shot. That was interesting. Then I walked around outside and took my sweet time getting back, cause it was so nice out and I sat on the stoop and and looked at videos about the iPhone. I got tired of hearing about Charlie Kirk. I have to tune out the news for a while because Giving hand jobs to about. He’s a revere figure in the Yankees actually had a moment of silence for him at their baseball park Yankee Stadium good thing I’m not a Yankees fan because they suck anyway. Anyhow, it’s a nice sunny day is now 3:28 PM. I just got my delivery of Super Coffee just came in so I’m in pretty good shape with that for a little while. The only thing I’m kind of running low on I realized is Gatorade, but I didn’t think about it because I didn’t go to Yoga for two weeks so I didn’t order any. Mike has a lot of Mom’s Meals and I’m going to my second day of yoga class. It’s a 4 o’clock class. Latest bullshit with the Charlie Kirk shooting is that the FBI found the gun but still doesn’t have a suspect yet. In the right wingers are just absolutely going nuts more than usual. Well, I just signed up for my yoga class and today’s classes with Charlize Saunders, which I haven’t been taught by a long long time. It’s a 75 minute class.. It’s pretty warm out here so I expected to be pretty hot in the class. It’s harder to get motivated to do my blogging with this new blog because it just looks kind of really plain. I can’t edit like I used to, but I’m still pressing on. It was really particularly difficult when I was fighting off Covid for the last two weeks. Felt like I didn’t have much to say. Anyhow, off to Yoga and then my meeting and then eat leftover Indian, which I’m really looking forward to the leftover extra yummy when everything‘s been mixed in overnight.

Thursday June 26:Parsonage-Turner Syndrome


I had to get up early because I’m having an EMG test conducted. It’s in Jefferson Hospital land which means I have to go to 25 S.9th St. Plenty of time but

 the 17 bus to show six minutes early in the elevator took forever to catch cause everybody’s leaving for work. Some woman on the seventh floor was looking at her phone
 and I yelled
at “seventh floor.“ She called the elevator I ended up missing the bus and walking at chestnut Street. Fortunately the bus came fairly quickly. I just called back fairly quickly for the EMT appointment. They did 
some motion test. She took a look at my wing scapula and this test has two parts some kind of nerve diode thing and then the acupuncture needles. This is the 

second part. I just finished the EMG. It was pretty intense. Yes I have nerve damage on both sides. The left side. I have it on my rotator cuff, on my right side. 

I have it near my scapula. They don’t know if the nerves will recover or not. They have no idea there’s nothing they can really do about it. I have this syndrome called Parsonage Turner syndrome. Yeah, I feel pretty beat 

up right now but at least I know what I have just do PT till I’m dead, I guess. Anyhow, I rested afterwards. I walked all the way back and I lied down to Mike’s bed for a minute 

looked at TikTok videos and drank some super coffee to offer me blessed relief. I talked with Mary and Mike. Mike is definitely getting out of the hospital 

today around 1 o’clock. Mary then came over to Mike’s place and we did some further 

organizing and cleaning before you got home. We put the bookshelf

 where the clothing was and put the clothing where the bookshop bookshelf 

was right behind Mike so he can grab his own clothes. We then talk 

to Mike for a while. Mary and I walked back to her place and I picked up my yoga 
clothes and walked all the way back to 

Mike’s to sign out by 3:30 PM.  Well, I went to class and Lupe was teaching. 



This is one week since I came to my first class and loopy taught it. I did

 my usual, not using my arms and shoulders routine. I’m starting to routine 

it, but it still feels different. Afterwards, we hung out at the studio 

and we talked to Evan. He’s going away to perform out in California. So he’ll 

be gone the entire month of July. I went to my CODA meeting
