Scheduling doctors appointments on 11/27 and 11/29 gave me the sense there would be no more this year. But today's visit to the polio specialist has generated referrals for yet more appointments. On the other side of town of course.

It has been 18 years since my first evaluation by this fellow. I was able to give him a copy of his own evaluation. Hospitals lack file space I guess. He has mellowed and so have I. He suggested there might be some device used by quadriplegics to feed themselves. A sling that swings from a stand. But first I have to go through a therapist to see if the thing will work for me. I find this encouraging.

An ice storm is bearing down with snow hard on its heels. Not a time for travel. I may opt to wait for the new year to dine graciously.
