Well It's Thanksgiving

Well it's Thanksgiving week and all the kids came home to see me and their mother. I even had my mother there. we had a impromptu birthday party for her. it was her 90th I should live so long. It's Saturday and everyone is going home Tracy to the U.K., Tiffany and Joe to Arkansas, Mom ( I took her home to New York),  my sister Aunt Marieta to Washington, DC. I am getting worse. I have problems maintaining my balance, my legs are stiffer I have more of a problem maintaining my balance. I have walk with a cane now all the time. the only good news is I seem to have some energy except for bouncing off the wall I'm doing well. All the pain is in my legs

I had a acupuncture treatment this week

Well, I haven't any readers of my blog yet. but I don't care, writing this blog has help me to deal with this disease. I had my monthly acupuncture  treatment on Wednesday and my legs feel much better but the treatment does not last for four weeks. I'm having trouble today Saturday maintaining my balance, my legs feel 50 pounds of lead encasement and getting heavier the Lack of feeling i experience on my feet bottoms and my fingers hasn't improve at all but I don't feel dizzy at all. That acupuncture treatment is good for something. More than anything I wish I could improve the feelings in my fingers and legs.  I just don't how

Well it's a new month and all things are well as expected. I still feel like my lower legs are encased in cement and I'm wearing gloves all the time on my fingers. My balance has gotten worse, I can't walk a straight line without assistance, physical or mechanical and I overdo it eating sweet. My broken finger from the fall I took in August has healed. But since the hand was splinted incorrectly it's not completely recovered. The ligaments need stretching and that will additional months. I am tired most days usually in the middle of the day and fall asleep. I don't go out much except to visit the movies. Most days I spend on the computer surfing the web and playing solidiate. Well that's all for now. 

NOW IT STARTS

Well I guess it didn't save. So I will try and  explain my condition again. For the last ten year my conditions have slowly got worse, My legs have gotten heavier and stiff with less elasticity. I fall backward more often. I'm dizzy more often and its harder to concentrate. I applied for disability status with the Social Security Administration in 2006 but it was not approved until 15 Oct 08. I have to use a walker to get around. I can't walk two block without feeling tired and having to sit down. But I have been able to read I finish the Brsinger novel yesterday
