The Empty Fortress
Haven't posted much. Some notes:
1. Tori passed away. I found out from a friend, who sent me a note while I was watching a show. Not a shock, but not much chance of closure. He was a big influence on me--chickens, motorcycle, handicap--he walked the path first.
2. Still missing Kristin.
3. Wendy is cancer free but crippled now. Difficult, complicated situation in her family. I am persona non grata.
4. Got a new room mate--Andrew--working out nicely so far.
5. Leg is finally improving. Finally got a referal to a cardiologist (I really need to be more pushy) who explained aspects of the Afib then told me that I didn't have to avoid caffiene, but I need to cut NaCl out of my diet. Then he perscribed diuretic medicine which dropped 20 pounds of water weight, fixed my hypertension, and dropped my pain level. In 3 days. Let's see what a week will do.
6. Birthday party for Mom went well. yay!
7 Van died on way to dance. No taking money meeting friends. On the hunt for a new (used) car that I find comfortable, can be maintained, and reliable!
More later.

I'm sorry for the "downs". I'm happy for the "ups". Glad you are seeing the doctor and getting some good results.
