Been too long
I haven't blogged in a while, and since we are in the middle of a thunderstorm, and I am stupid enough to have my computer up in the middle of this, I thought it appropriate to blog here right now, being as the lightning bolt is a symbol we use for stroke.
My latest blog was about my Internet radio station, which has been running since the beginning of March. I had so much fun putting it together, but once it has been running, I have put much less time into it. This is what I needed to do though. I needed a hobby, where if I could set it aside for a bit, would be just fine on its own. Being a stroke survivor, I have my good and bad days, and there are times where I rest all day. This turned out to be a great hobby for me.
There is a danger though, that all small Internet radio stations could be shut down, due to a decision by the Copyright Royalty Board to increase royalties paid to record companies. This would be way too much to bear for monetary reasons, so we would be forced to shut down. We have banded together to fight this, but have a way to go. There are a couple of websites that are set up to petition Congress to step in to reverse this decision. We have high hopes.
I have had a several days of health issues. Makes you think, as a survivor, about having another stroke. My doctor may schedule me for another MRI to see if anything has changed. We are giving it a little more time, as the symptoms seem to be just dizziness and balance along with headaches and it isn't constant. I am better today and hoping it stays that way.
The rain is really coming down now. If I can hear it from inside and I have the radio on, then it is really pouring. This place is fairly well insulated. Think I'll back away from the electronics now until this passes.
