John and Clarence, from the pool, have been hounding me, again, to post something on the blog.
I keep telling them there isn’t anything to report and if they wanted to know how I’m doing they could just ask. After all, I am standing right there.
But they insist on a blog update. So here it is.
I am finally off the nasty drug lorazapam. After very gradually reducing the dosage to 1/4 of a milligram a day I finally went cold turkey. I felt rather shake for a few days but everything is fine now.
I continue to feel better all the time.
I’m still fatigued at times, but overall have more energy. Some days are better than others, but for the most part life is going well.
I still have an upset stomach fairly frequently, but it is manageable. It seems that with only a small pouch, rather than a full size stomach, gas pressure builds up rapidly. It’s nothing a good belch can’t cure. Actually the belch is more like a retch, but it feels much better afterwards.
That’s probably more than you wanted to know. Blame John and Clarence. They are the ones who made me do this.
Hi Gary,
I’m always happy to read anything you want to write–especially when it involves your continued improvement. Geez, I think that Lorazapam is what Conrad Murray was giving to Michael Jackson!? Looking forward to seeing you both when we finally roll into town–probably on Dec. 5 or so. We are SO grateful that we can stay in your house in LaGrande. That’s going to save us a bundle of money, since we’ll literally be homeless for about 2.5 weeks. Thanks again, and good to hear that you’re getting better!

I’m with John and Clarence. We live so far away that we never see you just standing there…so thanks, John and Clarence! We’re so relieved that things continue to go well for you and even improve. Congratulations on being drug free! Looking forward to catching up in person soon!
I don’t think Michael Jackson died of a Lorazapam overdose. However on a related subject, I can dance now dance better than Michael Jackson. That is I can dance better than he can now that he is dead, not before.
Now there’s three of you ganging up on me. This is getting worse by the minute.
Hi, Clarence made me write this. We are happy your blog is up to date. We live for new postings as our lives are so bleak.
I am glad things are going well.
JOHN
That’s not true. Just this morning Clarence gave me grief because my blog is not up to date. An I know that his enthusiasm for the Occupy Wall Street and his smuggling business makes his life far from bleak.
Congrats in going off the lorazepam! Not many people would be able to quit. Here’s to an AWESOME Thanksgiving and we are beyond excited about the Hartig’s move!!! Our target date for Portland is April 15, 2012!
Lorazapam is a nasty drug and I’m so glad to be free of it. We’re pretty excited about the Hartig’s move. We can’t wait until they get here.
