And the living is easy--cha, cha, cha! Made it to the neurologist today. He didn't have a lot to say--I seem to be fairly stable since my visit with him a year ago. He did write me a prescription for a speech therapy program. Will see how that goes--the gait and balance class is about to go quiet for the next two months and I'll need to fill that slot with something. BIG and LOUD may be just the ticket!

Started both the Vitamin D and iron regimens. Going slow on the iron to make sure how it affects my system. Only one pill per day for a couple of weeks--then shift to two per day. Vitamin D is a single dose each week for eight weeks--then shift to a daily maintenance dose.

Watched a Martin Scorsese film this afternoon--The Departed. A police story about a cop who is a mole inside the police department and another cop who is a mole inside a criminal gang. It's a tense, dirty tale with lots of executions, double-double crosses, and a cast of mega stars. It won four Oscars, had a budget of $90MM, and got about $300MM at the box office. It was a hyper-film with lots of cuts back and forth from the various actors' POVs. It was a bit long but held my attention except for the "romance" scenes between a police therapist who was involved with both moles. It just didn't make sense that the cop who was a mole with the crooks would have therapy sessions with the woman therapist. But, that was a minor lurch in the flow of the film.


Last gate and balance class tomorrow for a couple of months! Will miss having those regular sessions. Looking for some substitutes (BIG/LOUD or CW dance class--or both)!
