Today my friend Mary came to my house for a walk and a lunch. We ambled past two galleries in my neighborhood. The second one was extraordinary, full of black and white photos of Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe (her roommate and lover in the late 60s, before he came out as gay). There were pencil drawings by Patti, too, which I had never seen.

It reminded me of Chris’ Patti dream, so I told him to make sure he sees the exhibit.

Yesterday I found a study at the Medical College of Wisconsin (Milwaukee) called Stimulating the Aging Brain Using Brain and Sensory Stimulation (StAB) that uses a slightly different electrical device than I use daily (tACS: transcranial alternating current stimulation verses tDCS: transcranial direct current stimulation). It does include the same gamma ray equipment. I contacted them and we will have a phone conversation. Perhaps it is not the right study to join (I always wonder about that) but it is specifically for Primary Progressive Aphasia and I want to participate in as much PPA research as possible.

I think joining as many studies as I can is an element of my recent dreams. Many people working together. This is critical for me, although not for my own cure. I want to contribute to future beneficial treatments for other generations.

Yesterday Chris told me he was dreaming about Duane Allman but I woke him up so he did not finish the dream. Years ago I saw The Allman Brothers Band outdoors at Forest Lake with my friend Anna. It was a great concert. Today Chris discovered he was able to hear his music using his small speakers instead of the large ones.
