Nice to get phone calls from the men in my life about that downer poem I posted last, but am not feeling that dire still. One, I've settled in here and have adjusted to the change in locales finally and two my bro assured me he would drive me down in November!
So what did I dream about all night? Decorating the condo, of course.
It has been strange to feel that I've mentally shifted my residence and this is the place where I don't feel as connected. But I realize that is something that I have created by dropping off boards, etc.
Some good news for a change; I had my regular visit up at Rush for the PD and this time was tested again by the psychiatrist for brain function. This was something they did 4 years ago when I was first diagnosed. It involves reciting back long series of numbers; then giving them backwards, remembering lists of words he shows you after minutes have gone be, doing spatial tests, etc. They are testing to see if you have lost brain function, memory, etc. Well, I wowed him; apparently I did better that I did 4 years a go and he even said I was the first patient he had eve r had to get 100% on one of the tests. So it's still working! That made my week.
I can plan to return to Florida before the holidays and my brain is functioning better than ever . Life is sweet.

Glad you're still as sharp as ever! Did you ever doubt?
I like your new blog theme!
As for the toad... he'll patrol the front yard. I'll have to get one or two more toads for the back garden beds!
I'm confident that your success this last trip to the PD doc is because you spent three months with your bro and his wonderful wife! :-)
