Healing an Obstinate Body

Well…Hello!...I am healing, despite this body’s performance today. I will return to yesterday’s level, but today so far is a bit touchy. The drop-foot that I developed after my fall has mostly gone away. That is good, because it makes getting around very difficult, even in my home and especially outside the home. It’s one of the reason’s that I’ve hardly been out, besides my very attractive black eyes. Today, it’s all about balance…you know…zigging when I should be zagging. This too will pass.

Today I received a call from the Medicare people. They were conducting a poll about Medicare’s performance. I didn’t want to take the time but agreed anyway. First question was “How do you rate your health?” 1st option was “Excellent” and they titrated down from there. I, of course, answered excellent, since I do consider myself in excellent health, generally. I can pass a basic physical exam with “flying colors.” Then the questions turned to physical activity. My answers, of course, were completely opposite from the first question. After four questions, I had to interrupt the lady and tell her that while I considered myself in excellent health, I did have a physical disability which curtailed my activities severally and this questionnaire was not designed for someone like me. I’m guessing this was a waste of taxpayer dollars, in general, and certainly in my case. We discontinued to survey. And the government thinks they can run our healthcare. They haven’t run, successfully, any financial entity, yet! I have no hopes that things will change

I subscribe to 5 e-newsletters pertaining to health and read other papers and books. They all keep talking about Vit D. More and more research keeps being published about this vitamin. It is becoming "main stream" how vital adequate levels of VitD is to our health. Low levels or below adequate levels leave us open to all sorts of illnesses, not the least of these is multiple sclerosis. More research needs to be done. I’ll just keep reading and keeping myself as healthy as possible. We can only hope that this government will not follow Finland. They have just outlawed alternative health treatments, unless administered by a Dr. That is effectively…no more alternative treatments, since allopathic Drs. do not know or do alternative treatments.

I’ve seen it quoted recently that “We live in interesting times.” Sometimes I think that a little less interesting would be just fine...As always...

Healthy Days to You...Your Smiling Maven
