2963-2962

Been a busy few days (foo daze)! Went to the Folsom PD support group meeting on Monday. The truck had some trouble starting when I stopped for a latte on my way to the meeting--but otherwise ran a bit sluggish but seemed to start alright.

Support group was small. Everyone there with PD has something different going on with them. So many symptoms with so many manifestations! I came home, after grabbing a tasty lunch at the Persian cafe on Greenback (great flavors and spices), and fell asleep for several hours. I have so many reactions to these PD group meetings--mostly a feeling of dread--not hope. I thought that the dance class on Tuesday would help smooth things out for me.

But, the universe had other plans! When I went to start up my truck, it wouldn't cooperate. Like it did last week, the starter wouldn't engage, the engine started chugging and releasing some smoke. I managed to get it started and went for my morning latte. In the lot at SBs, the truck did the same thing again (as at home). I took the vehicle to the Firestone place once I got it going.

They fixed it! Just took several hours (I missed dance class) and a few hundred dollars! They replaced the battery and did a purge of the fuel systems. Truck runs like new! Smooth as a whistle!

Have an appointment with my PCP in the morning--early (for me) in the morning. I'm assuming my vehicle will now reliably get me there. We shall see!
