Yanni in Charleston

Image
last night, I was at the Yanni concert, here in Charleston: Before the show. ( left ) During the show. Hard to see the silhouette of the woman singing. ( right ) At one point, my eyes started to clear up: my left eye specifically. Then my neck started convulsing, twisting and pulsing. It was as if my neck wanted to "throw up" the excess tension. Then, with Yanni and some of his band-members, I almost saw them clearly! Later on I felt some quick dry stabs in my left eye, I guess because it was stretching that far, and I haven't used it at that distance in about two decades . Even today, I feel the back of my neck and it feels looser than it ever has. The tension bands running up on the left side has decreased a bit, maybe by half, so I'm excited to keep going.

starch is King

so, I am back to fasting successfully, and its going well. over 4-5 years of having trouble maintaining a fast for any longer than a day, I realize the key to making it last is having some traces of longer lasting carbohydrate in the system. enter starch: potatoes, rices, and so on, and the key to making it last is eating them consistently , day after day. I'm on my 3rd day of fasting today, and I think I might keep going because of my current vision restoration initiative. I'm starting to notice tweaks with my vision, and tension pulsing in and out of my face. why not? its not like I have to eat today, although it would be an exercise to finish the day this way. I might as well finish the day. I don't get back to training until Friday, so I can eat tomorrow. I should eat tomorrow, given that. still, though, I wish I could go longer. when I read stories about people like Kermit Washington who fast for 5 days and drop 18 pounds, it revs me up in a way. I will very l...

vision progress

I'm starting to make good progress in my vision recovery. Antecedent to that would be relaxation of my overly tense neck muscles, and then I'm hoping the astigmatism which I was found to have some weeks ago would correct itself, along with the distance problem of course. I've been on it at least twice a day for 10 days now, sometimes up to 5x. recently I have felt the synovial fluid around my neck joints, it doesn't feel right, its almost as if my head was leaking. I want to clear this up as soon as possible. I find I now have more range of motion even while doing simple activities, such as riding my bike or walking around. that's great news to me, for a man nearly 20 years blind. the restoration of my vision has to be around the corner. I must keep the pressure up.
