Edd's Gatherin' Place

If my dream notes are found the Dream episode will continue. However, as you can see, my blog has been empty of posts since October 10, 2005. I have been doing a little soul searching on whether or not to seek answers from other hospitals than the Mayo Clinic on my particular brain disease. This certainly does not put the Mayo Clinic in a bad light they remain my primary doctors and consultants. Nevertheless, I wanted to reach out to three specific specialists at Duke University Hospital, Durham, North Carolina, Johns Hopkins, Baltimore, Maryland, and Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia for their opinions.

The outcome, I’ll sum it up with one of my favorite quotes, “As our inclinations, so our opinions,” by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - yes, the Goethe of Faustian fame. Because I quote Goethe, you just may glimpse an insight into my consciousness.

We did visit for a week the Civil War battlefield of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania where Jane and her twin sister Jean’s great-grandfather fought alongside Hampton’s Legion and J.E.B. Stuart against George Armstrong Custer (Custer of the Little Big Horn massacre) on July 3, 1863 at Calvary Field. I did take a few pictures and will post them as soon as I’m feeling better.

So long for now…
