The old ways...

 

As I recover, I feel more energetic. So I try to do a little more.  Then reality sits in. I walk more, and I do well, but then, I get tired and winded. I am already gravitating to return to the in-person meetings. But the side effects of the Lasix, have kept me housebound. So why did I mention the old ways?. As I was growing up, using the bathroom if not needed or too much, was considered a lack of respect for Jehovah.

Most of the time, we would use the bathroom during the song. We had special needs talks about using the bathroom during the song. the songs were considered prayers. The sisters would get a break because they had more needs than men, personal hygiene, taking their infants, congregational gossip and we even had special needs talk for them. Therefore, if you were to have explosive diarrhea, then well... use the bathroom.

I have 2 fewer veins in my legs, so my feet will swell, and the Lasix removes the water and I urinate more. But I am still a JW with an image to maintain. Therefore, I will stay home for now. I would not like to project a disrespectful attitude by using the urinals 4 to 5 times in the morning meetings.

I had my Math test today...Epilepsy had other plans.

Today, I had my algebraic concept final test and I failed. Of course, my body sabotaged my efforts. This seems to be the norm with everything I do. That is when "everything I do" is extremely important and "the everything I do" maybe a life changer. Passing a math course is a life changer. So let me describe how it went today. Keep this note in mind I studied the entire weekend and the more I study things got more complicated As I wrote many times before, my neurologist and gastroenterologist have repeatedly told me that when my brain acts up my gut will too. When I take any other academic tests I usually don't get sick. I have taken all my meds and then I take life day by day. As I mentioned in previous posts on the internet maybe Facebook or G Plus, I have a few abnormalities in the brain. These abnormalities affect my behavior and my thought processes. It is not that bad but I perceive and understand things a little bit differently and that is why I may ...

"Movie Review: Dune Part 1 & 2 šŸŽ¬

  Spoiler Alert! Buckle up for a desert journey like no other! In the vast expanse of cinematic adaptations, Villeneuve's Dune emerges as a monumental undertaking, spanning two epic installments that delve into the rich tapestry of Frank Herbert's iconic sci-fi saga.

Part 1: Betrayal and Escape The journey begins with Duke Leto Atreides, a nobleman entrusted with the stewardship of Arrakis, a desert planet coveted for its reserves of the spice melange—a substance essential for space travel and coveted by factions across the universe.

However, their arrival triggers a chain of events orchestrated by the insidious House Harkonnen and the shad...

Elon Musk Neuralink

Hi, my name is Tony I am a... Well you know. Actually Tony is short for Antonio. I thought if you were reading this you should know, not that anybody really cares. Anyhow, I am a ferocious reader of science-fiction. I like to read. For many years I could remember every single book that I've read. Unfortunately, I cannot do so anymore. However, if I read a science article sometimes I can associate it with a science fiction book that I have read and I like to talk about it. For example, here is the link to an article that I have recently read on the internet: http://www.theverge.com/2017/3/27/15077864/elon-musk-neuralink-brain-computer-interface-ai-cyborgs Recently I have posted a blog on a book that I read called "Psychohistorical Crisis." without getting into too many details one aspect of the book has to do with the characters. They carry a device called a familiar, or a "fam" for short. I can't recall if it was a mechanical or an organic device. Th...
