WARNING: This post contains frank descriptions of poop. Do not read this post while operating machinery (except maybe a manure spreader). It’s been two and a half years since this blog last addressed constipation. During that time, my own constipation has very gradually worsened. Mannitol, … Continue reading Oh, Poo!
On my most recent visit to The Parkinson’s Specialist Place, I was given a supply of Crexont, a new formulation of Levodopa. It’s an extended-release formulation, enabling me to take just three doses a day, which kicks the crap out of the six times a … Continue reading New Levodopa Formulation
Due to a combination of poor health and flat-out laziness, it’s been a month and a half since I last updated y’all on my nicotine trials. To make a long story short, I was convicted on all counts. No, wait! Not that kind of trial! … Continue reading Summary of Nicotine Results
Today’s ThrowBack Thursday takes us to the greater Glenwood area of west-central Colorado in late April 2009. My mountain biking buddies decided we should ride the Forest Hollow Trail. The plan was to use our multiple cars to do it as a shuttle route. That … Continue reading Glenwood Canyon (April 2009)
It's been several months now since I told you I'd be continuing the nicotine trials, and I finally resumed them a week ago. On Monday of last week, I began using 14 mg nicotine patches (one per day). As with the 21 mg patches I tried earlier this year, the first few days were great. But on Friday, I started experiencing unusual muscle weakness in my legs and I felt more unsteady than usual. So, I stopped with the 14 mg patches. But I'm still not giving up. Assuming everything returns to "normal" over the next couple days, I'll start using a 7 mg dose on Election Eve.
Speaking of elections, I'm thinking about filing a class action lawsuit against both of the major political parties. This lawsuit will not seek any money. Instead, I'm hoping to get a court order that would require political parties to provide candidates that are actually worth voting for.
Today’s ThrowBack Thursday is a brief one, as I’m still trying to get caught up after my trip to Michigan, while simultaneously preparing for my next trip (back to Colorado). So, go ahead and climb into the Way-The-Hell-Back Machine as I fill ‘er up with … Continue reading Walker Ranch (April 2008)
Day 11: Last time we met, I told you that the only way you can see the Pictured Rocks themselves is from the waters of Lake Superior. Yet the boundaries of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore stretch over five miles inland in some spots. Why? … Continue reading Michigan 2024 Trip Report (Days 11 and 12)
Day 6: This was to be a long day on the road. I had read in at least two places that state highway 22 is an excellent scenic route along the shore of Lake Michigan. So, I had plotted a route to the “starting” point … Continue reading Michigan 2024 Trip Report (Days 6 through 8)
Day 3: When you last heard from me, I said that I would be visiting a “most unique / unusual” museum. As it turns out, I was a little off base. Despite its name, Marvin’s Marvelous Mechanical Museum is more of an arcade than a … Continue reading Michigan 2024 Trip Report (Days 3 through 5)
Day One: I’m going to a museum today. It opens at 9:30. I figured that would give me plenty of time to have breakfast and watch the local news for a bit. But then I somehow slept until 10:15. TEN FIFTEEN! I haven’t slept that … Continue reading Michigan 2024 Trip Report (Days 1 and 2)
