I stopped by here today to give all my friends here an update.
I went back to Pittsburgh on Monday and talked to my neurologist. I am as good as I will get. I need a wheelchair to get around now permanently. They don't know the reasons for the tremors but she and I decided that I will live with them and adapt as best I can until they get worse (if they do and probably will over time). The meds to try and control the tremors, I cannot take and NOBODY is going to burn pinholes in my brain to try and make them better.They are bad enough that my machining days are over.
I knew this day was coming, I just thought , or hoped it would be farther in the future. I'm not as devastated as I thought I might be. I think that is because I am getting married and she and I try to spend time together doing things together so I am occupied with good quality time. I worry about leaving the shop sit with no attention as it won't be good for everything in there. I wish I could sell everything in it in one lot to a good home. I know my days for doing even simple every day tasks are numbered and I must adapt and be ready. I already cannot take care of the house upkeep, the small lawn and even small repairs around the house. This puts a burden on my wife to be, which bothers me. We are concentrating on spending quality time together every day. I am very happy with her, but life as I knew it, must change. I have a lot of decisions and planning to do very soon to make life as simple and enjoyable as possible. The shop is the biggest decision to make. I will never be returning to it as I can't use tools anymore, let alone run a machine. It is just sitting there at the present.
