Ok.  I am taking this new ground breaking medication.  I feel worse.  Balance is worse.  Walking is worse.  The situation now begs a question:  Is it the drug?

I have fallen twice.  Once was just a complete loss of balance.  I was going to fall back and lean on the wall: I missed the wall.  Down Goez Frazier!  I got a very pretty bruise.   The bruise is solid purple.

Two days later, I walked into our laundry room.  suddenly, I lost all balance.  I did a wonderful gymnastic move.  To steal from Billy Crystal, 3 judges gave me a "10".  My mother, dressed as the East German Judge, gave me a "3".  But I did not fall.  I caught myself.  I was scarred and angry.  Why am I moving worse? 

My walking is worse, not that it was great prior, but I know what was and what is.

My wife has noticed that my feet are purple.  Great.  She says it has been that way since CCSVI.

Walking does upset me.

I am a "go to it" person.  Living most of my life in and around New Orleans, i am used to going to MArdi Gras parades.  These parades are great and easy.  But you must move.  The krewe members (look up "krewe") throw beads and doubloons and other stuff.  People catch what is thrown from the floats. 

I am challenged in paticipating in these events.

Please google "Jazz Fest".  i love this, I would go from tent to tent and enjoy the music and food and crafts. I love this event.  5 days of paradise. 

I love my family.  I know my children want to go to Mardi Gras parades.  i will attend as best I can.   I drive okay, but I need the hand petals.  No one will help me get them.  I do drive, but I lift my leg to do what is needed.   Frustration!

I need help.  The locals are somewhat of a joke. I could get to the place for hand controls, but the main risk is the 60 miles from my house to the location to see if I need help!  Then, go to a difficult place to arrive.  

My wife works and is in school.  Fitting into her schedule is challenging.  

I have  a four letter word:  EDIT EDIT EDIT!

i type to be accurate and truthful and kind.  But I try to avoid mistakes.  

I write with feeling and reality. throughout.  But I hate any setbacks  I only want improvements!
