I finished my run to this song and couldn't help but go spare, pushing as hard as I could.

You've been chasing heaven! *Zooooom!*

@HopeSeeker Hello my friend! Thank you for joining me on the journey!

It's a joyful thing to be out there in the beautiful bright spring day, jamming to tunes with the wind whipping by.

Life is beautiful!

Another 10k and change down ! I’m making progress ! #run

*Mad grin*

I was understandably, fairly upset yesterday when I first got the news. However, I've been making an effort to "pull back to the center of the wheel" a bit.

I am concerned. That battery was supposed to last for 3 years minimum, 5 to 6 max, and it lasted for 2.5

His form of Parkinson's is highly aggressive and progressing with rapidity. The fact the DBS is so taxed to exhaust its power so readily is further proof of something we've known for a time.

My Dad has a deep brain stimulator for his Parkinson's Disease.

It helps regulate the tremors he gets. The battery popped an alert that it needed to be swapped a few weeks ago, and yesterday it failed entirely.

My understanding is that the sheer backlog of people needing care, mixed with the inefficiencies of the VA system have slowed things down to a crawl.

Currently he's not due for a consult until May 16th. Not a battery swap... A consult.

Meanwhile his tremors are out of control.

Good morning groovy souls!

I didn't get to bed till 11! Someone called last minute as I was laying down and needed to talk.

The good news is that I slept incredibly hard when I got there.

I'm feeling so much better this morning. Going to a small run, and then focus today on my writing projects.

There is joy in that recovery, not feeling tired, or weary as I did yesterday.

Onward, toward the dawn!

Good night groovy souls! I am very tired and feeling a bit under the weather, but I am ok. ^_^

Rest will help!

Onward toward the dawn!

@vo1de Riley's Shadow? Interesting. That's the name of one of my main characters. Made my ears perk.

The leaves I've been getting here in Newport don't seem to last half as long as the ones I get in Washington.

I can't figure it. The dates are good, but still they are wilted and slimy.

It's a major component of my dinners most night. 50 grams of salad greens, though that's only like 8 calories so it's not really a loss to cut them. Still I like my salads.

The psychological aspect of food is interesting to me. 50 grams of salad greens seems more like a meal than just Tofu and Carrots alone.

After yesterdays epic run, all of my factors like HRV are telling me to go easy today, so I'm going to listen.

Today I'm going to clean out the car I'm using, start going through First Tier Sorcery and prep to get that posted, if I can untangle the issues with the plot, and do some law firm work, as well as some grocery shopping.

Sounds like a good and decent day. ^_^

Good morning groovy souls!

It is a great day, because we can be present for one another. May your day today be one of joy and every good thing!
