Holy recap Batman!

I don't know exactly why I started going through my original blog entries.

It seems that I started by correcting spelling and formatting mistakes/problems.

However, reading through the entries, I come to realize how different my life and attitude are these days.

My original entries seemed very centered on all of my woes, which seemed very numerous and insurmountable.

These things still hurt like hell, except for my mental state.

Perhaps its that I've gotten "stronger", and stable.

I can't really point to any defining "ah-hah" moment like I did for the discovering of my Bipolar prognosis.

It does feel like I've been changing for the better.

Unlike back when I started this blog, I don't walk the dogs, nor do I actually go for walks anymore.

The knee brace I was so happy for, turned out to not really help me.

I just now realized a defining moment for the pain control was when my friend got me to use Homeopathic medication/solutions.

My goal is still to be able to walk and move like I used to.

The gout has damaged my feet pretty damn good though.

Between the gout and arthritis I realized and accepted that I need help to move.

Even walking around the house hurts, but I manage to make it.

Recently, I've been building a bed frame for our new mattress, and it's been quite a lot of work.

When I work in the shop on this project, I have been wearing my shoes again.

I found that, by switching my insoles back to the original ones, that my feet don't hurt so bad wearing shoes.

My feet do hurt like hell when I'm done, but it's not so bad as it was when I was wearing the doctor suggested insoles.

The last time I wore shoes with those insoles (for maybe 4 hours), my feet hurt for over a week like I had been standing on hard rubber balls every day for several hours at a time.

Re-involving myself HAM radio has been a real blessing.

My inventiveness and interest in things has really gone up again!

I wish that I could get back into computers and programming like that again!

Previously, I was so absorbed in programming that I did it ALL the time.  Even when I got home from work and on holidays.

Although, I didn't do that since meeting Ellie, but I am starting to feel the draw to getting my ass motivated to become really innovated again!
