Really right on it.

.

I finally got in to do some laundry and update you all. That first week here, as you will find out, was quite busy. On top of exhaustion, what I have been doing has taken time. I have done most of those things I have been trying to do. The only thing I have left to do today is call the local priest and maybe pick up some boxes. I did not get out of bed, officially, until around noon. After staying up so late last night, probably until 3:00 or 4:00 due to the heat, I am not worried about my late start.

I am doing well, figuring out all of the problems that exist, and usually solving them almost immediately. I am happy with how I am doing, though I see so very clearly how out of shape I am. Yeah, I am getting on that. As I said, it will be a slow thing, one step at a time. And, of course, who knows how much of my disability I can honestly overcome. Crashing for 3 to 6 months does not help. If any of that will be different here only time will tell. I know I am pushing way past anything I would have thought possible. Whether I can keep that going I can only pray.

The food I am eating, for the moment, is not the best. But it puts calories in me and keeps me going. I hope, if I end up going back to college that I will have access to better food. I know it, when college food is better than what one is eating, one is at the bottom of the food chain, or close to it. I have been trying to cut out soda. I do not keep it at home. I am trying to get to water, juice when that will not do, and a couple of beers a couple of nights a week.

Whatever growth was occurring has disappeared. I will still find the closest V.A. Hospital anyway, and check some things out with a doctor there. I need to get the eye doctor and dental clinic operating for me in any case. That, I believe, I will try to get started tomorrow by phone. My previous doctors and techs suggested I call the clinics themselves, as going through the full bureaucracy may take a year or more, while the actual people in charge will pull me right in and have the things needed going in no time. So, I will follow their advice.

Well, just thought I would fill you in, put in the blog posts I had written but could not send, and hopefully please you with my little success and continuing work and push.

Be well people. Your prayers, hopes, and well wishes have helped sustain me. Perhaps it is just that which will see me through to a new life, along with my effort and God's part. You remain in my prayers and thoughts. Perhaps next month, or the one after, depending on how money goes, I might have to pay a visit to one of you. Blessings.

P.S. I would love to visit your blogs, but I am out of time here and I have a couple other things I really need to do. I will have internet in my place the 16th, sometime, so I will try to catch up then, unless I get to the laundromat again before then. I will not have to put in a bunch of posts and write another then, so it should be easier.
