I don't quite know how to say this, but the treatment revived feeling in my foot I haven't felt in more than 15 years.  It's not a cure, but it's a better move toward feeling like I have control with my feet rather than attempting a balancing act with the rest of my body.

After that analysis on Tuesday, we scheduled two appointments for this week. Yesterday, both feet were treated.  Both feet are much improved over how they felt the past week.  This is a two-month, twice-a-week treatment, but I am very encouraged that I will have functionality in both feet that I thought was gone.

It makes the 34-miles-each-way trip worthwhile.

That's such fabulous news, Ron!

Good morning, all.

[ChasSmith]

Seems much later, but it is indeed still morning.

[ChasSmith]

So here we are, coming up to final dress rehearsal tonight. Pray for that baby.

[ChasSmith]

Last night's run-through was better overall, but they're really having sound problems this year, don't know why.

[ChasSmith]

For DR Jrand73 and anyone else interested:  The vocal books (script + vocal parts) and the piano-conductor score supplied by MTI are all dated 2006 and retain the scandalous words and scenes for all the world to see. People have been too busy for me to ask to see it, but apparently the changes or "suggestions" are sent by MTI in a separate document. I'll pursue that after we've gotten through the first of the two weekends.

Vibes for the final dress rehearsal!

[ChasSmith]

I'd like to make a reservation, please. Party of four.

But not in the WTH we're in for section. No sir, the WTF section will be good enough for us.

[George]

DR elmore3003 - I wonder if this might work for your desk? Only you might need three of them.

That's really cool!

TOD:
Philip Glass's Einstein on the Beach
Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue

I really like both Satyagraha and Akhnaten, but I could never get into Einstein on the Beach.

The week has whizzed by, but not without accomplishments.

One of my doctors sent his patients an offer to participate in a Stemwave program.

Stemwave, very informally, is a device that uses low-intensity sound waves to stimulate natural healing in various parts of the body.

The analysis appointment was the only "bargain" in the process, but it nearly didn't matter because my doctor was reluctant to use the device on my left hip (where I have had off/on pain for a couple of years) because I use Eliquis daily.  Eliquis is a blood thinner.  His concern is that the sound waves might impact blood vessels that could cause some internal hemorrhaging.  He suggested I might ask my doctor about cessation of the drug, but the therapy is either an 8-week or 12-week program and it's unlikely my doctor would want me to stop for those periods of time.

Do I have any other pains, he asked.  Well, I said, I have neuropathy in both feet, but there is no pain any more...both are just numb.  He brightened, suggested we experiment on one foot.  I suggested my right foot since that is the one I've had problems with the callous/ulceration issues (not completely healed).

I don't quite know how to say this, but the treatment revived feeling in my foot I haven't felt in more than 15 years.  It's not a cure, but it's a better move toward feeling like I have control with my feet rather than attempting a balancing act with the rest of my body.

That's amazing, Ron!

[George]

There isn't much else happening in this part of the CSRA.

Oh, yes.  The Pizza Hut in Edgefield caught fire early last evening.  Fire trucks from three towns responded.  Have read the place was fully engulfed in flames.

Oh, my goodness!

[George]

So here we are, coming up to final dress rehearsal tonight. Pray for that baby.

~~~Break Legs Vibes!!~~~

And now for something completely different...

[George]

[elmore3003]

TOD
Stravinsky: The Rite of Spring or Petrushka stretched harmony and rhythm about as far as one could go before 1914
Gershwin: Rhapsody in Blue moved the 1924 concert  listener into the world of jazz and added new color to European composers from Walton to Ravel.

And now for something completely different...

Damn! Now Annabelle will force me to buy jeans.

[Freddie]

And now for something completely different...

Adorable!

You do whatcha gotta do!

Adorable!

That's what I thought, too!

[Ron Pulliam]

TOD:

I would be remiss (oh, yes! Remiss) if I didn't mention Edward Elgar's "Enimga Variations", which is my favorite classical work, bar none.  I don't know why it is, but it's so "English" and moving.

Also, the "Pomp and Circumstance" marches, all six, are rather "British empire" and quite wonderful.

Yes, there are many, many more.

Tschaikovsky springs to mind with both "The Nutcracker" and "The 1812 Overture".

[vixmom]
