Dreamed | I was moving | and I am.

Here's the gist of a note I just sent to my family and friends about tomorrow's move --

*****************
Hello everyone--

Tomorrow, I move over the hill to Felton so I will be closer to the PDTreatment Team. They are located in Santa Cruz, about a 15 minute drive from my friends' place where I'll be staying. Treatment sessions run about 2 hours each and begin on 1/16/06 at the rate of 4 per week, for 4 weeks. At the end of a month, we'll evaluate progress and adjust the number of sessions (hopefully downward), and do the same after the completion of the second month. At the end of the second month, I'll be evaluating whether I need to stay in the Santa Cruz area or if I can move back to the Palo Alto area.

My old home phone will be disconnected on Monday 1/9. I'll still have my mobile active and will have the same email address. I'll send out broadcasts (like this one) when something of importance happens. If you want more frequent updates, I have a blog at --

which I post to daily (it's like my journal that I've kept for years, but that I started posting online earlier last year. The blog will, hopefully, have day-by-day reports on what's happening.

I'm looking forward to getting started. December was a long month for me as symptoms (shaking and tremors) continued to manifest and seemingly grew stronger. I've not been sleeping well at nights and that's requiring that I stop and rest a lot during the day. I've learned that chamomile tea helps moderate the symptoms briefly, as does a session of restorative yoga and eating meals on a regular basis (missing a meal triggers the symptoms).

Anyway, I'm on my way (to San Jose and beyond). Keep me in your thoughts as I work on recovering from "rebellious Qi in the stomach channel." That's how the treatment team thinks of this illness. If you want more info on what they do go to their website --

Next news will be from Santa Cruz... Love and blessings...
