Neurologist told me they could not find my brain. He was totally serious and that made me stop in my tracks. This man does not joke around ... or does he. Is that the twitch of a corner of the mouth there. Thank God. I knew I had a brain, unless this is the afterlife?
Somewhat clean bill of health. Concern was rendered about these little headaches that come and almost incapacitate me but are gone in a matter of 5 to 10 minutes. We are looking for a trigger and going to rule things out.
Got another years worth of stroke medicine scripts and a free month supply ... nice, cos this is the expensive stuff.
Plus in 5 minutes and with a safety pin he gave me the diagnosis of carpal tunnel, without the $900 test that the other doctors insisted that I run. Gave me one simple exercise to work on to hopefully make some of this go away. If not we will cross that bridge together. (Well actually he said I could go first in case there were any trolls that wanted a toll ... I am seeing another side of this wise old man).
So now I move onward with changing lifestyles, loss and gain, hope and a smile on my face for I have life, my wonderful families love and some of the greatest friends a simple boy from the countryside in England could have ever wanted when he grew up.
Peace and love.

Sometimes.....
Well it is 21:25 and the day has gone away without my normal exercise. Bummer. It feels as if something is missing but I have things around the house that have to be done today less I run out of time to do what I have to do tomorrow and so on and so on.
My doctor called this morning and asked for more blood. Blood to test my kidneys as the MRI place will not schedule my next Brain scan without it. I guess I finally understand due to the fact that they have to inject me with a contrast dye for the last 15 minutes.
But that put me 45 minutes late to work. Thus threw off my lunch schedule what almost did not happen due to manager meetings and then all of a sudden I realized I had not done Sunday's report. So an additional 2 hours at work ... made up for that missed 3/4 hour this morning.
Finally heading to the gym when I realize that I need my meds (on the last dose today of some) and they close so it is 20:40 and I am running into my pharmacist and ....
Well enough was enough and sometimes you have to say I will just get to that tomorrow.
BTW the doc says I have lost another 6 lbs so that puts me right at 370. Only 150 more to go. Like the sound of that. :)
Time to decompress.
