I got notice today that my disability was approved by the Teacher's Retirement System. It's good to have that settled. It will be good to have some money coming in over the next year, though it is only 40% of what I was making, so it is definitely an adjustment. I will also be able to get insurance through TRS starting in October, which is good, because continuing it through my district would have been very expensive.
My doctor did reduce the dose of one of my drugs a couple of treatments ago to try to reduce some of the side effects. It hasn't made much of a difference, but it might be slightly better. Unfortunately, the side effects are still so unpredictable that I'm not able to get out much. My next treatment is going to be on a Wednesday, so I'm hopeful that I'll at least be able to make it to church at least once every couple of weeks.
Thanks as always to all of you who have been sending me encouragement and praying for me. I really appreciate it.

Steve! I was thinking of you the other day when just meditating at a pond's shore. I was hoping for good news. I'm glad to hear about your disability getting approved. I don't know if you pay Social Security taxes, but be sure to look into getting disability there too, if you are insured. Any little bit counts, right? If you can escape for travel, we have an extra bed. -Joey
