Sir5R Journeys and Detours

I am absolutely fascinated by the number of people out there who have no channel to reach their spouse/significant other during the day to do the mundane things, like plan their lives as a couple. I am trying to set up an evening at the Oilers hockey game, in the company box. I have invited members of the client team that we are currently working with… and it is astounding how few of them are able to get a yes/no commitment during the working day. What’s even more astounding is discovering how many of them actually don’t know how to reach the spouse except if its an emergency… very odd, from my perspective. I almost always know how and when I can reach G. for that sort of consultation…

And no, I’m not actually going to the game… we’ve got tickets for a play at The Citadel.

I’m about two weeks into using Salagen/pilocarpine in an attempt to stimulate saliva production. I can’t tell yet whether or not its actually working. The doctor did warn me that I might not reap the benefits for up to two months… and then I may not find any real benefit at all. I do know that I am much more aware of my saliva production. I think that I am noticing a very slight difference, but then again, it could simply be the awareness that enhances the perception… I may be stimulating production just by being focused on it. Unfortunately, the level of production is still not enough to eat without constant sipping of liquid. And worse still, the sipping of wine while eating just compounds the problem! Water and milk… boring!

I finally gave in and phoned the doctor for an appointment to discuss last week’s CT Scan… there can’t be anything too terribly wrong or he would have been on it immediately after getting the radiologist’s report…
