Update on the recovery of Richard

I’m progressing along lines to be considered “normal”. For me this means the pain level is down and the healing level is up. I have good days and bad days. To day was a 50-50, yesterday was a 50-50 and I guess most of the days in the week ahead will be 50-50. This means that half of the day was good and the other half was a downer. We are going to change our pain pill intake from 2 per 6 am, 1 per 10 am, 1 per 2 pm, 2 per 6 pm, 2 per 10pm to 2 per 2 am and 2 per 2 pm. I’m having a higher than expected pain level by 5 pm. We will try this and see what happens. We are trying to work to 8 pills a day which is what the pharmacy looks at regardless of the Dr orders. Its government folks, what can I say. And I will run out of pills before my next appointment on Jan 6.

We will finish this blog today. We will not continue on with 2006 on this blog. Instead, we have a new blog for 2006 and its located at http://2006richardnshirley.blogspot.com/. Here you will find all of our new travels and adventures once we finally get started. Its been a fine year.

As we were discussing earlier, 2005 was a good year and we hope that 2006 is just as fun. With my better health and a ready to go spirit, lets go west and see what is there. That’s our plan, go west. We will start on a day in the future when all is healed and can take the rigors of bouncing, twisting and travel in general.

Thanks for coming along with us in 2005 and now its on to 2006.

Have a Happy Near Year everybody as we sure will.

Later.
