Yes, I’m still alive. My absence is due to two reasons. First is plain lack of motivation. Second is a little more complicated; i.e., I recently got a new desktop with Windows 7 Professional x64 not knowing that my 16-bit voice recognition software (DragonDictate), which I’ve been using for over 10 years up to XP, won’t even install. So, I’m now only using the onscreen keyboard that comes with Windows 7, and it takes a lot of time and energy to type that way.

Settings remain the same as the last change. However, the implant that I had to turn off was turned back on.

Yes, I’m selling my first domain MICHAELPARK.NET at Sedo.com since I don’t have any use for it anymore. Besides, I don’t even blog too frequently nowadays, and I don’t think online advertising works anymore. I still have this one anyway.
Unfortunately, I survived the battery replacement surgery. The neurosurgeon wasn’t available in March, so it was delayed until yesterday. It took over a month to have this surgery. The last time, however, took less than 2 weeks. Furthermore, everything’s not good this time…

During a routine “settings change” appointment, my neurologist found that one of the batteries has died and the other one is dying slowly.

A lot has happened since the last time I blogged here, though I’m still unemployed. I’ve read that there are over a million unemployed people in the U.S., so I figured I wouldn’t be able to complete. I’m not even looking for one right now, but I’m planning to start next year with some help from vocational rehabilitation as soon as the economy improves a title and unemployment goes down which is above 10% now.
Anyway, my 5th maternal aunt (youngest) has finally immigrated to the U.S. from Korea. One of my older cousins in Canada took the chance to invite his mother (my 2nd aunt) and my family to his new place. I believe I’ve written about my recent visits to Canada and Yellowstone which wouldn’t have been possible without my GPS. Since then, my 5th aunt purchased a car, got a job at a Korean market and moved out of our place. Because of that, I’ve been quite busy with searching, researching, purchasing, interpreting, consulting, etc. I’ve spent days searching for a car that’s under her budget and setting up the VoIP equipment she brought behind my own network.
These days, I’m also her English tutor. She attends a free ESL program offered by a community college twice a week, but she came too late–if you know what I mean. And it’s harder to teach an adult than a kid because of their ability to retain what they learn. It doesn’t help that she’s not into learning, either. Oh, well.
By the way, I don’t expect to blog that regularly like before… so if you still check in sometimes, you have my gratitude. In case I don’t write again this year, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
I had to go early in the morning to see my neurologist today. Instead of fooling along with other settings, he suggested that we turn extra contact points on since we’ve tried almost everything else. I believe contacts 3 and 4 are on; consequently, the amplitude had to be turned down to 2.2. Pulse width and rate (frequency) remains the same at 450 and 60, respectively. I don’t feel anything different yet, but it took about 2 months the last time for the changes to take an effect, so I’m hoping for some benefits after this year.
There are no plans for any kinds of surgery, which I was a little disappointed that he didn’t discuss anything about it. I was told that there was an experimental surgery, but I guess I don’t qualify or something. Oh, well…
