Thank you, Karen.

Thank you, Bruce for putting it so eloquently for all of us about “our Scott”.!

My favorite Frost poem is "The road not taken" and might possibly be partially responsible for much of the strange meanderings my life has taken over my 79 1/2 years...
Yeah, and no few bike rides as well.

Here's hoping all your recent confusion is gently put to rest. As a retired physician friend of mine told me about 30 some years ago, "There's a reason doctors call their job a practice" He emphasized practice, and then he followed up with "Just remember 50% the doctors graduated in the lower half of their class... "

Glad to read you're sounding like yourself. I'm in your corner, buddy.

Glad to read you’re getting a fix on things, Scott and Rachael. Loved your reference to Frost. I was introduced to him by my poet English teacher, Father John Weir, in Year 12 at high school and he continues to crop up from time to time - I used a number of his poems in my teaching of course. Just the other day I read of a reference in a local publication to “Out, Out”. His poem I love most for these times though, has to be “Mending Wall.”

Scott,
It's refreshing to hear someone not talk smack about hospitals: The accommodation, doctors, nurses and the food. Instead you go within and dredge up a million insights and feelings about yourself and then tell everyone about what is on your mind, in, of course, a bicycle journal. You have a fascinating mind and I'm glad you are documenting. Your reportage may help others someday. The best part is that you somehow remain positive and are still joking around. I think the doctors will succeed in the delicate changeover dance of drug administration and you will be back in business without hallucinations. I believe that anyone with an attitude such as yours will get through this just fine. It may take some time but you have lots of that.

My favorite Frost poem is 'Birches'.

I'm so grateful we get to keep our poets close for when we need them.

Don't forget the mother-rapers, and the father-stabbers.

And the father-rapers.

Still morally superior to those currently with their hands on the wheel?

I don't suppose either of you have read 3 Body Problem? Chinese sci-fi with a similar title and some nonlinear narrative.

Now I'm worried because this all seems like gibberish to me. But I think I will just sit back and cool my heels while things straighten out for you two. Shawn and I are wishing you luck with it ALL. I don't know what I would do if my iPad Mini gave up on me. I need her 24/7.

Nice shot! Looks like a painted turtle.

You might also want to check the price of your medication in Europe. It might be very different from the price in the US.

Insurance …it pays off…when you least expect it to..🤞

Crow or raven? If it’s a crow..boo. They are SO loud with my hearing aids.

A friend who has worn them for a few years informed me my brain is “not even close”, yet..to “fine tuning” the sounds everyone else just dismisses or takes for granted.

I am going to try and not post any more medical stories about myself as you, Scott are going through enough for every CB’er to boot.

It is a therapy, of sorts, to write about it because you never really know who IS reading these posts and, perhaps, something good for help from another source will benefit…

Ouch is right!
