Uneasy Acceptance
But this realization is different from being told something by doctors or other health care practitioners. It’s like on some deeper level I suddenly got it that this really may be as good as it gets. I may forever be stuck with this sort of mental deadness at certain times of the day as well as some of the other disconcerting attributes. If I have seen about as much improvement as I am going to get that is sobering.

Blog Thoughts
I am sitting out on a sunny deck on Vashon Island overlooking the sound. This place that I am currently house & pet sitting has a wonderful view looking north. I can watch the ferries traversing between Vashon and West Seattle, see the city of skyline in the distance and the day is so clear … Continue reading
