Just Sit Right Back...

Over the last week I've revived 3 notices that I'm a plaintiff in class action lawsuits, where I don't need to do anything but wait:

Papa Johns - for sending unsolicited emails (complete with a coupon for a free online order pizza)
Sony eBooks - I don't know why really... (But they didn't offer any olive branches)
Naked Smoothies - apparently I'm not the only person who questioned the 100% juice claim when they list other non-juice ingredients... Pepsi-co agreed to pay for that, but are still holding to the claim that the drink is GMO free and Organic etc.

So the cancer/health nitty gritty ...

My MRI results (head scan only) showed roughly the same results as in June after surgery.  The remaining tumors might be very slightly reduced, but likely the same.  That's good for now.  

I've had solid results with Physical and Occupational Therapy.  I'm being challenged in Physical Therapy by standing on a Bosu ball (lower part of a ball - about a foot in height and a rubber flat top for standing) and throwing a light small medicine ball into an angled trampoline and then catching the returning ball while maintaining balance.  Occupational Therapy is trying to help me get better coordination and use of my left hand (I've made progress, but playing guitar is still very tough, so hopefully I'll see some improvement on that front).

I have my last of 4 infusions of Yervoy next week and I'll meet a new primary care doctor as well, which will be interesting.  I really liked my doctor down south, but I need someone here to cover that stuff too.

The music room is super close to completion, just need to get the keyboards in place, which will be great for running scales with both hands (my main board is a Kawai MP9500 with wooden piano keys).  It's accordingly heavy, so it's not easy to set up right now, and I need others to pick it up (bending at the knees of course) and place it on the stand.  I can't find my mini mixer yet, but it's certain to be in one of the two remaining boxes.  It's been a real process finding the bits I need having not packed the gear up myself.  Of course having the help was amazing and the move only happened as smoothly with such great help.

Ki is doing a lot still, so I hope I can get together enough to drive and get some of my stuff handled without him needing to do so much.
