Wii Love To Have Fun!

So, did you know that with a Wii Speak, wireless internet and certain games you can play with your family or friends far away? It's a blast. I get to play with my daughter who lives in California at least 4 times per week and we stay caught up on current events while we play Animal Crossing. It's such a blast! Of course, we get Katie or Jacob from downstairs playing too and we have fun visiting one another's towns and talking while we play.

Yes, I admist it's a great time waster but still, it's all about family and togetherness for us and we love it. You should try it!

Even More Medical Stuff

So on my last visit to the Neurologist, I got a prescription for a medication called Keppra. It's an anti-seizure medication they give for epilepsy. I don't have epilepsy, but the medication seems to be working for me in that I've stopped having the left sided weakness and muscle spasm's. After doing some research I find that the white matter in the brain is where you have axons and glia. The glia substance forms a sheathing around the axons, which are nerves. Once the sheathing starts to unravel the nerves act like wire that's lost its insulation. That causes sporadic electrical issues in wiring and it's been causing it in mine!

The medication is working and I'm happy! I've been swimming with my sister most every day so we're getting some exercise and trying to make ourselves more healthy. Unfortunately I now have a respiratory illness but that will pass, I assure you! All is well.
