I can't believe it's been nearly two years since last posting. We sold the Sprinter and don't plan to do any traveling but you never know what may come along. The topic most on my mind in this new year is loss of motor function and I don't mean in the car. Balance, grasp and other taken-for-granted things have deteriorated badly. When I was making eyeglasses twenty years ago, I could drop a nosepad screw into its mount and screw it down in one smooth motion. Now my hands shake, my body twitches and my feet stumble. Medication plays its role in this but the illnesses themselves are the primary culprit. I think I'll be using an electric wheelchair before I'm 50, if I make it that long. My recovery time from colds and viruses is poor. No health insurance has prevented me from getting treatment I really need. It's hard to stay positive these days but I try, hoping for things to get better. I know the bleakness of Winter never helps my mood but I also know Winter ends and the warm sunshine returns.
