Okay, it has been awhile. There have been many things that, obviously, I wasn’t ready to talk about. I like to go into hiding when things aren’t going my way. Now things are looking a little differently.

First, I’d like to mention an incredible hospice experience. I don’t think I can adequately convey how instantly bonded with a beautiful loving energy I shared with the people in this brief, less than 24 hour experience. Suffice it to say, this is what keeps me in hospice despite often impossible and/or troubling family situations.

Oh yeah, about the Graves disease (that causes the hyperthyroidism which is ultimately the problem) I’m still on PTU and acupuncture is helping and I’m taking some herbs. I still have bad days with extremely high blood pressure and heart rate but they are less often. Stress seems to make a difference and even though I had a beautiful hospice experience last Friday, I was up most of the night and making a death call at 0245. The physical stress alone seemed to push me into a thyroid storm. I took a lisinapril that day, something I won’t do unless my heart feels like it will burst. I may be dealing with this the rest of my life so I have to be smart and sensitive to my body and manage this thing carefully.

Oh, I just posted a show called: Musicians and Fine Artists for Peace
