September Update

The last days of September are here which will finally bring the hope of cooler and wet weather.

We haven't been going to fall festivals yet due in part to the hot weather, my recovery from my concussion and my recent Tysabri infusion this past Monday. I have decided that I am probably hopelessly addicted to the wonder drug because I can feel the need for it a week in advance. This is a rather common side effect of the drug as reported by many other users. My wife can tell both the pre-drug week as well as the after effects of the infusion because of the Dr. Jeckle/Mr. Hyde impression I sometimes take on during the week before/after the treatment. It is sometimes (like this past week) so evident that I am very aware of what is happening. DOUBLE YUCK!

We are going to the Chicken Festival in London (Kentucky, not the one in England) tomorrow where we will meet up with Tysabri buddy Jayna Alexander, owner of Carousel Florist in London (again not England ;-)). The festival is listed as one of the top 10 fall festivals in Kentucky. London is just a few miles north of Corbin where the very first Colonel Sanders' Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant is located. The Segway will once again provide me with my mobility needs due in part to my Bioness not working well. Yesterday evening it sporadically stopped working like it is supposed to. The built in diagnostics showed that the foot sensor and the leg cuff were not communicating as well as they should. I will call Bioness today and I'm sure they will send me a new foot sensor unit which might be delivered tomorrow. Their service is both fast and efficient. Looking forward to tomorrow.
