ScribeFire is an amazing extension for Firefox for blogging. If you don't use it or you didn't like it before, they've made some adjustments that make it easier to use. Now you don't have to format your pictures in HTML anymore (which I absolutely hated doing), it's just one click to align your pic in your text. You can save drafts or notes, publish to more than one blog, have more than one blog entry open at once in tabs, and so much more! You can even share your posts to your facebook page.

A night for music  

My family and I enjoyed Dvořák's Cello Concerto in B minor Saturday night with Zuill Bailey's impassioned cello playing, the Virginia Symphony Orchestra and the delightful conducting of JoAnn Falletta. After intermission we heard Prelude to a Drama by Franz Schreker, and Suite from Der Rosenkavalier by Richard Strauss. It was also are first concert in the Sandler Center for the Performing Arts in Virginia Beach's towncenter. We bought $15 tickets so we were seated on the third floor balcony, but right in the center. We could see everyone and the sound was amazing in there. We even saw a Mr. Matthew Umlauf of BJUdom playing the viola. My sister thought she saw him going into the building and I thought he looked familiar even from a glance. So we checked the program book and there his name was. It was a very enjoyable night.

another injection today RSDS , update  

The image “http://media.hamptonroads.com/media/content/pilotonline/2007/06/0621chamber500x325.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.I got an LSB this morning. They did two again like last time to cover both my right foot and knee. We talked a bit about the hyperbaric oxygen therapy that might help me and I found out from the doctor they have the facilities, but they don't have the the plumbing done. Like some horrible joke. I gather from what he said, it's been like that for a significant amount of time. The doctors petitioned for the higher ups to finish the work, but the PTBs said it was too much money.
The article explains it better than I understood at the time, and I see that there really is quite a bit involved. But...the usefulness of the treatment to our troops and even civilians in the area seems to be a good reason to get funding for it. Why outsource when you are half way to the goal of inhouse?

Beautiful Poem from Jeff poetry  

Please read this when you get the chance, it is so beautiful and touching.

http://jeffcavanaugh.blogspot.com/2007/09/for-j.html

I love this line that reminds me (maybe intentionally) of LOTR.

O death, close my eyes
So I may see
White shores to the West
Of a shining sea.

Jeff is the husband of Andrea whom I knew from Bob Jones. She was my sister's apartmentmate.

quote of the day poetry  

A prose writer gets tired of writing prose, and wants to be a poet. So
he begins every line with a capital letter, and keeps on writing prose.

Treatment for RSD that I'm seeking  

I found out from my aunt about using hyperbaric oxygen therapy for RSD treatment. The patient goes to as many treatments as he can (sometimes 40 or more) in a hyperbaric chamber (usually depends on access and money, really, but the more the better it seems). It is oxygen that is the key, people believe. The pure oxygen is being forced through your system over the course of the treatment as you slowly descend (dive: e.g., 16 ft., 24 ft., 33 ft.).

I am just checking into this. Looks like it is being used in the UK and in USA successfully. I haven't talked to my doctors at the pain clinic, but if I can do it instead of another spinal cord stimulator I would jump at the chance (figuratively of course, as I try to avoid jumping in "real life").

here are some links my dad found around the net: http://www.rsdalert.co.uk/treatments/HBOT.htm and http://www.hbotofaz.org/research/complex_regional_pain_syndrome.htm.

illness part deux update  

Well, my sickness grew into a stomach virus, but my fever is down and my throat is a feeling little better. The nausea has gone away too. I'm still going to the doctor tomorrow.

illness update  

I'm pretty sick. I have a sore throat and head cold. I have an appointment for tomorrow morning to see a doctor. Please pray for me. I am supposed to play the piano for the children's Christmas program on Sunday. There is rehearsal tonight that I'll likely miss, but hopefully I can be well enough to play rehearsal on Saturday and the program Sunday.

Please pray especially that this doesn't go to my ears. Last time this happened I got ear infections and lost the ability to hear music clearly for days. It was a bit tortuous.
