I do not gardening anymore because of PSP. It is progressive supranuclar palsy and out of 100,000 people only 4 or 5 people get it. I do not know why I got it but it is progressing very fast. It has no medicine and exercise is only medicine. I am not driving a car anymore. I am not going straight especially they have one lane I tend to go to the left. Which is not good because I might go hit the oncoming traffic. I got acoustic neuroma in my left ear and I had a gamaknife radiation my hearing complexly gone in my left ear. I got dengue fever when I went to India and that time I got scared. I went to blood count everyday and luckily it went up. NowI got psp and it is scary. I am falling down a lot but luckily I did not get hurt much except one time . I fell down on my teeth one time on a Saturday.One tooth got chipped I got root canal treatment and it cost alot to get three root canal treatments .

This past Sunday, Sushma and Shilpa's mentors came to our house for a small PhD graduation ceremony because it was too difficult for me to attend their graduat...
Your strength and humility shines through here, Sivaleela. Boxing, gardening, and being with your family are all clearly paying off. Keeping you in my thoughts!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, we're growing cherry and beefsteak tomatoes, asparagus, squash, and a few other things this year. Shilpa may hook me up with some seeds from your garden, so thanks!
