I have been pacing less and less, but still pacing around nonetheless. I wonder if I need a higher dose of the propranolol, or if I need more time for this drug to build up in my system. I'm going to give it a fair chance at my current dose, though. I'll wait until my next pdoc appt @ the end of this month to decide if I need something stronger. The thing is, though... I am on Lipitor and I'm fairly certain it's messing with my drug metabolism since it affects the liver functioning, and I tend to need higher doses of things to compensate. That's why I'm not going to give up on it quite so soon.
Otherwise, I'm doing pretty well. I have my second guitar lesson tomorrow (yes, already!!). I'm really looking forward to it because I'm struggling a bit with technique. Plus, I'm always excited to learn more and get better.
Also, I'm not sure if I should wear a face mask to Boston (Chinatown) on Tuesday. I'm really tempted to, especially since that kid likely spread the illness to other people. I mean, supposedly you can spread this crap even if you're asymptomatic, so it doesn't matter if he was initially asymptomatic or not. This crap spreads like wildfire in cities, as evidenced by Wuhan itself!!

I'm so glad you are liking your guitar lessons so much, bluebicyle!
As for the face mask, if that sets your mind at ease, wear it. So you know, Chinese often wear face masks in public even just because of the extreme pollution in some cities. Certainly tge Chinese in Chinatown wouldn't find that odd. My Chinese friend and her Chinese friend, both living in the US, have been buying face masks in the US and sending them to China. Apparently there is a shortage of them in China because of the Coronavirus.
