Georgialand II

Things I have learned since we moved to Georgia land:

1. Never try to hurry. There is no advantage to it and on a day like today, no one else is in a hurry either.
2. Never leave anything I plan to touch in the car on a hot day.
3. It is honestly not the heat, it is the humidity. 91 degrees with 34% humidity is a breath of fresh air to any temperature and 100% humidity.
4. I need a hat.
5. The fastest way to end a conversation is to talk. A friend may be interested in what I have to say, but the average person I encounter is not.
6. The pancakes I order at IHOP might not be the pancakes I get.
7. Everyone in Statesboro is nice and friendly, but sometimes that niceness is only a thin veneer over hostility
8. Just because someone is willing to help doesn't mean they are willing to do any favors.

Hot Enough?

Yes, it is really hot here.  Despite my reluctance to pay attentiuon to anything newsy, I guess the rest of the United States is also really hot.

Like unbelievably hot.  Yesterday, at 10 am, it was already 100 degrees in downtown Statesboro.  It was still 100+ at 7 pm, when we went into the Averitt Center to watch Hairspray.  Sitting in the Statesboro Regional Library it is 95.

Wow.

I am constantly amazed when I talk to friends not from the South how much they sound like I have moved to another country.  They do speak American here.

On a personal note, it have been 25 days since my last IVIg infusion.  Adrienne says I am deteriorating and I have to take her word for it; my exhaustion has reached new levels and I feel clumsier than I have in months.

In other news, my re-walking anniversary is next week.  What a celebration!

Georgia-Land

We have made it to Statesboro after visiting with my sister in Kentucky and then a long and gorgeous drive into the South.  I still feel pretty disoriented, but it is getting better.  Little things like getting a library card, Internet access and meeting my new neurologist, Dr. Patel (another transplant, I think) help.
