I have decided that if you do not write on Xanga that people quit checking your site.  I used to have a lot to say and got to the point where I said it fairly well, and now I have little to say and seldom say it at all.  My writing has deteriorated and my mind doesn’t explore things it used to explore.  I would like to change that, I think.

It has been a brutal two weeks I have been dealing with an incredible amount of pain and the aftermath of that pain.  I developed a thing call Trigeminal Nueralgia which ranked very high on the list of pain I have experenced in my life time.  It is characterized by a searing pain that goes upward from the left eye.  Apparantly we have a Trigiminal Nerve that sometimes gets inflamed and causes pain every time you move your head.  It occurs mostly in old farts like me and is controlable once they get around to prescribing the right medication.  The first medication which was a fancy, new, high dollar one that did not work any better than the pain pills I was eating every four hours.  That lasted until my nuerologist appointment last week when he changed the meds and in two days I felt like I wanted to live again.  Now I am pain free and learning to live with being tired and a bit sleepy.

keep the faith
