:) Ho, ho, ho!

After so many hypochondriac tales and so much money wasted, B12 rules, my particular Occam’s razor…

In my future, more shots (at least one monthly) and loads of patience, because we are talking about an 18-to-20-month recovery and it’s been only 14. B12-deficit recovery is usually much faster, but in my case all alarm systems failed, so I’ve been breaking up for 5 years before starting treatment.

Patience! (It’s a virtue, so they say…)

(I am sorry you haven’t heard a peep, but I was not feeling great… :) I feel much better now, and I feel vindicated!)

I truly believe health is the only thing you actually need to fight for all is worth it: love, justice, work… So, lots of health to all of you and guts to fight for the rest. :)

Latest news:

- I have been in treatment for 3.5 months. (My neurologist said I’d need 6.)
- I’m recovering strength in my legs and I walk better.
- Still going for my B12 shot every Friday.
- I am totally bored.
- I don’t read too much. (I finished yesterday the 2nd volume of Flash Gordon.)
- It’s truly cold.
- I sleep and rest quite a bit.
- I have read that low levels of B12 are linked to depression.
- :) Did I tell you I am truly bored?

Hang in there. I hope to return with the new year.

1. I am still going for my weekly B12 shot (I’ve got my balance back)… :)

4. On the 29th, I hope to go out for dinner with my husband and some friends. It’s been too many months in my cage.

At least, I have fun with my TV. I bought my husband a box-set of “The Sopranos” (FULL!). I see the episodes in English (I have some advantage over him) and then we watch it together in Spanish. A good TV series… I love it!

Just by his name you may not know who I am talking about. But if I say that Pink Floyd was never the same after he left, you’ll know I am talking about one of the brains behind the band, whose last contribution was “The Wall”.

Taking about Pink Floyd means traveling down memory lane back to when I was 15 (1977), when I bought my first album of the group (for the amazing amount of nearly 1,80 euros). That record is still my favorite among theirs even although it is not considered one of the great ones. I am talking about “Animals”. And I still remember the lyrics.

I also remember watching “Live at Pompeii” on TV my first year at college.

Pink Floyd taught me English, the vocabulary nobody bothered to teach me: razor blade, tourniquet, cop…

And thanks to Pink Floyd, I also ended laughing my head off with my mother a few times, like that time she entered my room to look through the window and see the helicopter that seemed to hover over the house. It was just “The Wall”, really loud.

I saw Pink Floyd in concert at the end of the 80’s, at the Silverdome in Pontiac, but Wright and Waters had already left and their trademark sound was missing…

Pink Floyd is still my nightstand music, the music I can always count on, like “Wish You Were Here”…

Taken from a Spanish newspaper. It literally says:

Held onto a pole to avoid being blown away.
Ike lashes against Galveston

Under this title, and seeing this pic, we expect the worst. We are moved to believe that this guy is holding onto a lamppost (or whatever) for dear life…

Then, if you start analyzing the pic, you see the guy is “playing flag”… How do I know? It’s simple:

1. The water at his feet is not enraged, and it does not follow the direction of his body. In fact it is actually taking a perpendicular line to the flag boy. :)
2. His top arm, the way it is curled around the pole, the way that index finger is pointing to the ground…
3. That bottom arm, bent into the stomach to support his body weight…

And then a few more details Spanish visitors have pointed out:

1. The calm trees in the background
2. His dry T-shirt, his unruly hair…
3. Who is steady enough to take a perfect pic???

We have been taken, as simple as that.

Have a lovely weekend!
