Today, Thursday, had a bit of good news.  I got to the dentist, without an appointment, and he did some adjustments to my false teeth (lower plate).  Unfortunately I expect to be back as this one item won’t cure all my troubles.  Now I have to do something about my speech.  I’m getting really hard to understand.

As well, today, I got my three-month injection of estrogen which is keeping my prostate cancer under control.  My family doctor does the injection and she had a report from another doctor that my Parkinson’s is progressing very slowly and my medications are working satisfactorily.  Hooray, I am dying slower. 

I worked in the garden with Jan for the remainder of the afternoon and haven’t felt the extreme exhaustion that such activity often causes.

My health seems to remain on a fairly level but a bit uneven plain.  I don’t feel sick/unwell in any part of my body but this morning my walking was a little shuffley and uneven but improved by the time I got to Findlay Centre for a work-out.  In the afternoon when we worked in the garden all was fine.  I had my usual tired spell after supper, but that also has cleared up.

At my age and health condition I’m not going to last for ever.  Next week Jan and I are going to do some planning for the “what if” part and are going to see our lawyer for advice.

Canadians always talk about the weather:  Today cloudy with a breeze off the water – good working conditions for the garden.  Tomorrow possible showers but fairly warm – continuing for the weekend.

Happy Canada Day!
