You HAVE been busy! How long have you been working on the music now? I know it's been awhile. I'm glad to hear Copaxone is working for you. Sometimes (lately) I have thought I shouldn't have refused treatment after my 5 years on Avonex:)hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

Sharon,

It was a grand weekend around here.. I did get to go outside.. I think on both Friday & Saturday.. and NOT worry about the heat.. the sad part of that is.. I'm soon going to be worrying about the BRRRRRRRRRs! Not looking forward to be penned in the house before too long.. Supposed to be a bad November & December from what I hear..

Not much new.. actually not anything new..

Feeling? Hmmm.. tthe Copaxone is working.. balance is still a bit off.. but the Copaxone is working well enough for me to know that I AM going to have to call the orthopedic surgeon, more than likely, concerning my knees.. that fall I had March before last.. just before, most likely the beginning of that flare last year.. The pain in my left knee (with the partial tear of the ACL) is all but gone.. The right knee (that wasn't x-rayed or MRI'd, cause the left was most painful).. is giving me all kinds of fits.. at least the pain there would indicate a Menicus tear, or partial tear.. that one should be easy to fix.. I think.. though I'm not sure that it's all that necessary TO fix.. I just want it to stop hurting.. maybe the Lodine will do that for me.. PCP prescribed it for the hip pain that I get, if I spend the day sitting on the bed, instead of a chair.. and sometimes by evening even setting in the chair.. Arthur I'm sure.. maybe all it will take is this stronger NSAID to stop all this stuff..

PCP was quite interesting last week when I saw him.. maybe the running behind in appointments by almost 2 hours.. maybe the steady flow of firemen and EMT's into the back office after one of his appointments LEFT before being seen and promptly pulled out, on a major highway, in front of a large pick-up truck.. causeing a steady flow of firemen and EMT's in and out of the exam room area of the office.. Or maybe he just figured there was no sense in arguing with me about what I wanted.. LOL.. When I asked for a script for Xanax (for the recent panic attacks).. he said.. OK.. how many??? I'm like.. WHOA!!!.. So I replied.. the last script you wrote for those was January 2009.. it was for 50 pills and I just took the last half of the last one last week.. How many do you think I need?.. LOL.. he wrote the script for 50 again.. Maybe it was a test.. old neurologist would only write for 15 at a time.. max.. (even though I told him that I had to break them in half, cause a quarter milligram was just too much in most cases.. just need to get the panic under control, don't need to completely veg out).. THEN he asked me what I wanted for the pain in my hips??? I told him that I am be pretty sure that it's Arthur.. and that was caused by the way I walk to start with.. and I wasn't asking for a narcotic.. just something for the pain.. he suggested Lodine.. I said that would be okay.. Not sure if he was frazzled or it was all a test....

Staying busy.. Runescape dungeoneering over the weekend.. kid came over to get me to the dentist today.. and he wants to get to level 60 (I wouldn't mind either) so marathon playing Saturday night, and yesterday.. and most likely when he gets back from taking to work this morning.. but as usual.. I'm still working on putting together music CD's for my buddy at the SS office.. all the stuff he's got recordings of on Cassette Tapes.. that's keeping me stepping and fetching in some cases.. and making him a clip of Doogie Houser (Neil & the Glee Club coach from "Glee") doing a cover of Aerosmith's Dream On.. (which in my opinion is even better than Aerosmith's version).. Had to try and remember how to edit then render video to do that one.. LOL... Lots of things I'd like to try and accomplish.. just not enough time in the day to do them..

For dinner? LOL.. I'm on the "gotta loose this weight" kick again.. and eat healthier and stuff.. so Salads.. without dressing but Olive Oil & different vinegars.. a few seasonings (garlic powder, onion powder.. anything that doesn't add Sodium).. Soooo.. an awful lot of Fish & Chicken.. And unfortunately, only knows one way to bake fish.. LOL.. and I prefer LEMON.. he prefers onion.. so I reach for stomach pills after eating the fish.. Chicken is baked as well.. he's trying different "rubs" on those (Mal-Mart's frozen chicken breasts that can be had for a little over a dollar a pound.. are actually very very good.. and very very moist & tender when baked).. Not a REAL interesting in the culinary department.. but nourishing and healthier..

And yeah.. seems everything turns back to food these days... I don't remember having this much trouble figuring out what to have to dinner when I was raising the boys.. I do miss the big ole stock pot full of Ham, Cabbage & Taters.. or Ham, Green Beans & Taters.. won't do either of those.. so no sense making a stock pot full of it..

And that's about it for my update.

I've been working on the music, off and on since June.. got him the

first fairly quickly.. been taking my time on the 2nd. It's not a

quick job to edit 120 to 144 songs to make sure they sound good..

LOL before burning them to a CD.. and I have a tad bit of OCD when

it comes to music.. it's gotta sound right.. and the 2 seconds of

dead air has GOT to be removed.. And I've got a collection of music

that fills nearly half of a 250 gig external hard drive.. and I

didn't edit all of them as I got them.. (should have though).. And I

only worked on this 2nd CD.. a couple hours a day during the week..

so it's taking a little longer now.. but it will get there.. LOL

I'm glad it's working for me too.. and thanks for the well wishes..

You're with the therapy thoughts where I am with the dentist

thoughts.. wishing I hadn't gotten stubborn years ago.. But as they

say... hindsight is always 20/20

Here's to hoping that we both feel a bit better soon...
