I am so tired – I think I am ready to crash.
It has been a long almost 2 weeks – between 12 medical
appointments (only 2 were mine) and the worry about Julie – I am bushed.
I know that I need to speak what I want rather than what I
have but right now I lack the energy to think of what I want.
Andy and I both went to Costco yesterday for their free
hearing tests (that counts as 2 medical appointments). My hearing is pretty
much fine – a bit of age related loss in the very high ranges but Andy has some
moderate losses in his left ear. They suggested he think about a hearing aid so
now his whole focus is on hearing aids. He wants to make an appointment to go
somewhere to look as some others and suggested tomorrow - I said flat out NO. He was interested in the Lyric aid until I
was not too enthusiastic about its $1,200/year/ear subscription cost. He
doesn’t want anything that might show or interfere when he takes off his
glasses a few hundred times a day.
Our chiropractor suggested that QiDong would be able to
“cure” Andy’s various diseases including his hearing loss, diabetes and heart
issues. He has suggested we go to the home of Spring Forest QiDong in Eden
Prairie, Minnesota. Apparently they offer 3, 4 and 5 day retreats to learn the
proper techniques. The five day retreat is $1,300 for about 11 hours of actual
training and healing over the period. I had a look at Google Maps to see just
how far it is from home and it is an 18+ hour drive but I would get to go
through Minot, North Dakota, where my friend and I drove through a few years
ago when we took my mother’s car (because she lost her license) and drove it to
Calgary for Julie. There is NO WAY I would consider doing this at this time of
year – weather is just too unpredictable. We might talk about it in the summer.
For now, Ellie and I are discussing where we should go for a
short vacation – New York is looking good at this time but first I need Julie
home before I can relax.
Just writing this all down, I feel better. Maybe I should
blog more often!
