If they do the work next week, I guess I'll be eating mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving. Along with mashed turkey and mashed pie.

DR Laura, I'm so sorry to hear this! Can they put off some of the work until the following week?

Good Afternooon

And I have nothing exciting to report. Except that I'm listening to Rachmaninov's Variations

I've been home from physical therapy and market for over two hours, but my cable service - TV, internet, and phone - has been down until now.

I really love Gurjeet, my therapist. Just as I still credit BK for giving my career a huge boost in 1994, I credit Gurjeet for saving my life in 2013 and getting me limber and walking upright again. He's a wonderful therapist with a fine group of colleagues who seemed glad to see me. He and I discussed my symptoms, and he believes, after several different exercises, that the problem is my left knee. He believes the cartilage is worn out, that there may be arthritis problems, and the stress on my lower leg bone is causing all the problems of pain and mobility. He suggested a knee X-ray and an orthopedist for a knee injection. He also thought that I might need a new pair of sturdy shoes.

So, today I got a deep heat massage followed by an ultrasound massage, and then a really painful thigh massage to work out all the tightened muscles above my knee during which I thought I would scream from the pain. I now have a couple of exercises to work on at home but at the moment every part of my left side is screaming in pain.

thanks for the reminder about the Julie Taymor Tempest, George. I never saw that.

Quite a few years ago, Theater Artists Olympia did a production of The Tempest, and my friend pug played Prospera. The concept was that it was set in the Star Trek universe, so they had their uniforms and a sci-fi set. It was a sight to behold...in a good way. But I hadn't had much exposure to Shakespeare at that time, so the story itself went a bit over my head, at the time.

Last year, I ran sound for another (more traditional) version, and being able to see it multiple times really helped me to understand it all.

Sounds like Forbidden Planet, which is a favorite of mine. I even like the cheesy jukebox musical, Return to Forbidden Planet.

I remember an outdoor staging when I was in college that used Japanese cloths for the storm and some wonderful choreography to show the parties getting separated.

The most recent production of The Tempest I saw featured a black Prospero who was tall and imposing with magnificent dreadlocks. He had that magnetic gift that held the audience's attention. It was his curse, too, because he was ill prepared. He lost his way in every single soliloquy and he didn't seem able to hear the prompter.

Your first visit sounds promising. I wish I could go to him.

Yesterday while walking I suddenly yelped in pain and couldn't use my left knee. It is still bothering me, and why I have no idea but it is difficult to bend. This was my "good" knee. I still can't bend my right knee since I hurt it when we were in Las Vegas.

Jane · « **Reply #72 on:** November 17, 2016, 01:03:11 PM »

This morning I left for a walk and did not get very far. I have iced my knee and am going to try again.

Laura · « **Reply #73 on:** November 17, 2016, 01:23:43 PM »

I got good news. It's not as bad as I had feared. I am on the schedule for January, since it is not bothering me and the dentist is pretty booked with people who need to get their stuff done this calendar year.

Laura · « **Reply #74 on:** November 17, 2016, 01:23:58 PM »

I will study the lists more closely this evening after I get home.

Out Monday and Tuesday with a head cold that left me listless and flattened. It developed over the weekend.

Yesterday and today at work -- lots to do. Getting it done, too. Don't quite know "how" it's getting done without any problems, but it is.

Still have a knot in my gut about the nation's future.

I was looking forward to Medicare and have gotten used to Social Security.

I've spent the afternoon making chicken stew and orchestrating "Let's Not Talk About Love." Because I got back so late, everything's about two hours behind schedule, so for dinner I'm having a chicken sandwich from the corner bodega. I have more garlic and onion to chop, and that's my next project after my dinner.
