The elves continue to inform/entertain/bother me, my sight hasn't improved yet either.  But one amazing thing is the medicine called Warfarin or Coumadin.  One pill and I started noticing changes; these were good changes, especially in my sinuses(?).  The next day, after another pill, it broke loose and began to heal the infection I had there.  I was amazed by this.  I just didn't expect that.  And I'm getting sharper senses too. 

I am cooking a huge pork roast with sauerkraut, laced with caraway seed.  Just typing this sentence has taken a lot of time, but I have gone for two walks today, and this morning, I scrubbed the kitchen floor (with a sponge mop).  I wish the mental confusion would end, but I suppose it will take time.  I'm worried about my Pepper - she won't leave my side, so won't go out, even for potty.  That's why I have to go outside more often - to make sure she gets to try again.  The clearest voices in the forest belong to the black-capped chickadees.  I'm being nice to John now....don't want him to suffer. 

Sudden insight:  I remembered that I never had financial independence until I was on my own - and I thought that was a sad thing to have to remember.  It was a huge change in my life.  Not that I wasn't financially able to carry on, but I didn't worry and keep track of sums of money all the time.  Now...constant arithmetic.
