I have been davening every day for more than 60 years. I started these daily prayers when I was around 10. I found the prayers to be very comforting and helped keep me on an even keel.

Imposter Syndrome
What are we considering when we address the issue of we being a workplace imposter? It means we feel that others are overestimating our talent/abilities at work. In other words, folks think we are smarter than we really are..
Why are you still sitting down?
So, I thought I should reiterate all that information I have shared with you over the years about exercise. Since Summer is upon us and too many of us have mastered the art of being a coach potato.
It’s Never Too Late to Exercise
I’ve written about the benefits of exercise for years. Including the fact that weekend warriors get the same benefit for time and intensity and those who routinely exercise.
Paralyzed Man Walks Again
We have been trying to help those who are paralyzed to become ambulatory for a long time.
Now, although it’s a “one-off” solution (VERY expensive), a Dutch citizen, who suffered from a broken neck, can do just that. Gert Jan Oskam has had electrodes implanted in his brain, spinal implants, and a backpack computer.
Bandages that Heal
Bet you don’t realize how many- and how extensive- the need for chronic wound care is in America? (I admit, I didn’t know the extent, until I because of the 6.7 million folks getting the therapy [and mine had been extending over 4 years].) And, that treatment doesn’t come cheap- costing some $2.5 BILLION a year.
Dialive- Liver Dialysis
Liver failure. One of the deadliest afflictions. The standard treatment is to obtain a liver transplant- and they are hard to come by. Some 100 million folks suffer from liver cirrhosis, with 10 million saddled with an additional complication.
XIII
Except for the hiatus forced upon my by my hospitalization, I have been sharing my thoughts with you for 13 years now. The blogiversary was 1 June. That’s a long time to be posting my thoughts.
Overwhelm
Today is a most auspicious day in history.
June 6, 1944. D-Day.
This was the day where thousands (156,000to be precise) of troops climb sheer cliffs from dawn to dusk (and then some), attempting to establish a toehold on the main European continent. As a means to eradicate the Nazi regime that conquered the continent, establishing antisemitism as a rule of law. This invasion was the largest naval, air, and land invasion in history. It was this endeavor that leto the defeat of the Nazi regime in Europe and the liberation of the citizenry.
I’m back- finally!
After being hospitalized since the 27th of March, I am now home. I’m weak, but home.
I have trained nurses coming to the house thrice a week to maintain my wound recovery and I have PT coming two more times a week to help me increase my strength and endurance.
