Status Update
February 22, 2020
Let me begin with an acknowledgment
it’s been far too long. I will endeavor to explain.
The year 2019
proved to be a very taxing year, physically and financially. It limited the
time for writing, which I know has cost me momentum and possibly a larger
readership. Be that as it may, I have encountered a health set-back which has
negated my ability to work outside the home, at lease for the foreseeable
future. It hasn’t affected my hands yet, though in time it most likely will,
making typing impossible.
I won’t go
into details, for two reasons.
1) I’ve been misdiagnosed for two conditions which were not pleasant
experiences, let alone inexpensive.
2) It’s still something I am coming to terms with. There is little
disagreement among the doctors and neurologists something is drastically wrong
with my physiology. They have been unable to come up with a cause for the
symptoms and are in the process of ruling out several somewhat common diseases.
I have been informed it’s not: psychological and it isn’t cancer ( as far as
they can see.)
There are
several possibilities yet to be determined. The most significant candidates are
MS, diabetes, “White Matter Disease”, an
internal Lupus flare up. The last neurologist diagnosed the condition as
possibly Ataxia.
The medical
doctors have already determined I have polyneuropathy, AKA peripheral neuropathy,
vertigo and extensive muscle weakness coupled with motor-skills and swallowing.
Sadly, it appears my dancing days are over. I love to dance and will miss it
for a time.
It has also
rendered me incapable of working due to trips and falling, coupled with the
fact I need one or two canes to be mobile.
On the bright
side, I’m getting more writing time, which should make one young lady in
California happier – though I still write too slow. I also have time to do more
woodcarving, staff making and painting, something I wandered away from 50 years
ago.
I’m still on
target for an April 15th release, so save me a couple of your tax
dollars.
I have
revamped the cover for Family Matters to better connect it to the first in the
series, Evolution of a Killer. All future books in the series will be linked by
title as well.
Time to get to
writing. I just wanted to update the few of you who actually take the time to
read my blog.
It is greatly
appreciated.
Sincerely
Robert U.
