Has it been nearly 2 weeks since my last posting? Wow. Time flies when you're having fun. I'm still feeling very good and have had a minor (but significant) milestone recently. I was able to untie double knots on my shoes. This is because feeling is beginning to come back to my fingertips. I'd say that the feeling is 1/2 or 1/4 way better than it was. This morning I was able to work the buttons on the collar of my shirt. OK, I'll admit that it took me 5 minutes to unbutton the collar and another 5 minutes to re-button it, but that's a step in the right direction.
Relatedly, I tried to play Guitar Hero, but I don't yet have enough feeling in my fingers to work the guitar. After that failure, I decided that it was time to learn the drums in Rock Band. Erica is beginning to learn the guitar in Rock Band and I played drums. I'm still trying to get Robin to sing. I did pretty well for a guy with no rhythm. I played a few songs and was doing well, when I broke a drum stick. I felt like a real drummer--broken drum stick and all! I had to play some of the songs with 1 1/2 drum sticks instead of the standard set of 2.
Other than that, I've had no changes in my health. I am getting the urge to go hunting or fishing, but that is probably not health related. :)
I went to Idyllwild this weekend to celebrate my father in-law's 66th birthday. It was a great weekend with Robin's family. I'm really lucky--I get along very well with them. However, it was very difficult to eat my raw foods while away from home. I went to their local natural food store and got one very small grocery bag of raw items:
--A Strange Sweet Spread made of coconut and some assorted berries (all raw of course)
--Raw Crackers
--3 Raw Snack Bars (granola-ish)
--2 Green Smoothie Drinks (juice and algae)
--2 Kinds of Raw Cereal (one good and one yucky)
--4 Pack of Chocolate Almond Milk Drink Boxes (made from soaking almonds in water)
Wanna guess what fancy raw foods cost? How about $56? Eesh! I'm going to have to learn more about making my own raw foods and then pack them carefully for my next trip away from home.
I'm going to end this message with an inspirational video that I found on another website. Check this out:
Best wishes and big hugs to all,
Tim

Glad you're still feeling well, Tim.
I respect you for eating all of those raw foods--I'd probably have a tough time doing it.
Thanks for the neat video, too.
Keep the faith and keep up the good fight!
All our best wishes,
John and Jo
