Had a really great, productive morning today. After the attack yesterday morning, I really wasn't sure how things would go. Periodic Paralysis is funny like that - you never really know how it's going to go. Even if you get it managed, it can suddenly change its presentation.

I credit this morning's success to the adjustment in my medication last night. The specialist I visit doubled my extended release potassium dosage and added baclofen. The previous dose was minimal, but I responded well. Upping just might spread these attacks out quite a bit further.
While there, I asked him what he thought the odds were of me regaining a normal life. He has as much idea as I do. It's hard. Anyone reviewing my employment record might find several instances where my attendance was brought into question. That mostly started as a regular thing in 2006. Since June of last year, I haven't been functional enough to even show up to a job, let alone keep my businesses running.
If I can make it five days without impairment, I think I could seek employment. There would still probably be a few "sick days" each month, but it sounds workable to me. Current record is three days without impairment. Average is a little over two days.
There are many opportunities around steem. Platforms coming up present interesting hobbies if nothing else. If I can't figure out how to earn as an employee or traditional business owner, perhaps one of these hobbies will parlay into something greater.
Regardless of what comes next, I'll keep livin' and lovin'
Y'all have good
