My 50 thousand mile check-up

We are just back from an appointment with my neurologist Dr. Black at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto.  She has now put me on Mirtazapine or Remeron to see if that helps with my anxiety issues.  Unfortunately I didn't do so well on my MMSE testing this time.  I'm down to 24 this time round.  This probably explains why I'm struggling with my pogo games lately. Oh well....as Dr. Black says...I'm holding my own! 

Processing Problems Again

I was very excited to be attending my first "Cooking with Chef Cortwright" yesterday at the 55+ Activity Center next door.  Cortwright is the chef who prepares the Meals on Wheels for the Napanee area.  He demonstrated how to prepare various dishes including Beef Wellington, stuffed tomatoes, baked zuccinni, breaded cod fillets, microwaved potatoes and liver and onions.  Then we all enjoyed a plate full of all the prepared foods, and it was absolutely delicious.  Unfortunately after 3 hours of sitting in the kitchen with the big fan roaring, the walk-in freezer and the two large fridge motors running, and listening to his running commentary, my brain had reached the saturation point and I was anxious to get home to my quiet space.
I had thought I might join the beginners exercise group, but I discovered they play music and it's an incredibly noisy environment.  I plan to check out the yoga class in two weeks, and see how that goes.  I have discovered though that I can volunteer once a month and help fold the 2500 newsletters with no problem!
