Somehow I omitted this from my writing schedule. Nobody noticed, but that’s because there’s very few people reading. Whatever. I do these for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is the aversion to Fourteen based on hangover from Andy Dalton as a Saint?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tough to place that blame, but it’s a starting point…if not a decent starting quarterback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So look though the old entries, and stumble on this<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s been a while since I’ve written about being sick, what my current medical state is, etc..<\/p>\n\n\n\n After popping positive for antibodies on my JCV<\/a> test, I’m now on Keysimpta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The switchover was during my summer writing streak this summer, and I hated it so much to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even after three full doses, the fourth will be towards the end of the month, I still get all sorts of concerned about how it’s going to affect me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Relax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Um. No.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The new drug, as I’ve become accustomed to it, really isn’t that big a deal. One Sub-Q shot in the thigh once a month. Take it after work, spend the evening kind of as normal, and go to bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The doctor at Georgetown who was good enough to see me, then not get upset when my out-of-network Tidewater insurance didn’t cover the visit, has been my neurologist since I got up here. I appreciate all that she, and the rest of the staff at Georgetown have done for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There’s many aspects of my life, related to my health, that are a ton better now than they were back when I first wrote about what was going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On positive side, I’ve been able to continue to work far longer than I ever anticipated. My wife is, now, excelling in her career, and we’re not on the lip of destitution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Some things, of course, are worse. My vision continues to get worse. Certainly not as markedly as it was early on, but things really aren’t good. I don’t know when they’ll want to put me through more vision tests. I am not, I don’t think, to the point of legal blindness. I still do find random tricks that help me be able to see\/consume things, but it’s still difficult. <\/p>\n\n\n\n (Random hint: If you’re using Sarai in IOS, you can actually bypass many paywalls simply by activating the Reader mode.. Don’t tell anybody, okay. Pay for your news!!1!)<\/sub> <\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the pods I used to consume had a Tweet, I mean Post, about some breakthrough in nerve repair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Am I interested? Absolutely. Is that going to really convince me to continue avoid taking advantage of the options I have?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Um.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Off to buy a physical copy of Walt Hickey’s book<\/a>, and get it signed.
