April was National Poetry Month and I met the challenge of writing at
least one poem a day
every day in response to prompts. Over 30 new works!!!
I am so proud of me, as since contracting TM, my writing has
suffered, as has my reading. I wrote a couple of poems about my
condition-- which I generally avoid.
Yesterday after a long struggle(10 months) I got to see a neurologist
a few blocks away, who listened, renewed my script for Naltrexone and
is pursuing getting me therapy at home!
(The neurologist I went to in my pcp's practice took my money and
told me he "only does stroke" would ONLY refer me Strong Hospital,
which is 110
unreachable (and unaffordable $700 roundtrip) miles away and refused
to renew my script)
I slept today until 1p.m. (9 hours) and i didn't realize how much
energy it took.
I found out that the deadline for the 5310 grants for paratransit
vehicles was today.
But I learned that there is a taxi service that has a van in the city
next-door. Their costs
are prohibitive ($36), but not outlandish ( like the school bus
company that charges $75 just
to show up).
Again if anyone has any information on nonprofit startups or funding
for paratransits, it would
be welcome.
Happy May Day!
