Spent much of the day yesterday getting passed in and out of an MRI tube. Naturally, I went and looked at the results this morning, and, with my novice reading of the results, there’s nothing going on in my head. Unfortunately, there may be an active lesion in my back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m not completely surprised by this. What it means, I don’t know. It’ll be something to discuss with my neurologist the next time we have an appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I guess I had a phone conversation with my mom after the procedure, but I actually don’t remember it. I guess the sedatives did exactly what they’re supposed to do. She’s off dealing with a death in the family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
(She may have been COVID, but I’m not sure there’d be a lot of sense in looking thoroughly at it. This particular person I’d “met” several times, but I’m not sure she was even really aware of who I am. Not going to add a lot more beyond that, but she’d been in a care facility pretty much my whole life…)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I also got my second Phizer COVID-19 vaccine does on Saturday. Aside from the expected sore arm day of the shot, nothing notable the first day. That night, however, the side-effects hit me pretty hard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Though I didn’t have a fever, I was shivering pretty heavily that night. I emailed my boss, and said I was going to take Monday off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By the end of Sunday, after finally eating something sort of substantial, I was feeling better. I still decided to take Monday “off,” which meant I’d only end up working part of the day. Sign on at my normal time, check that everything is up, nap, catch the weekly staff meeting, nap\/chill out for the rest of the day, then do a routine nighttime operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three pretty intensive days of work in the middle of the week, and then “off” for Friday to do my MRIs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So that was the week that was. This evening, I’m supposed to go have dinner with my oldest friend, where we’ll eat more Muffalettas. Something I’m actually a bit looking forward to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’ll see how it goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My sleep schedule is completely out-of-whack between the shot, and the MRI yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maybe I can get things squared away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So what I’m listening to this morning. Right now, Peddling Fiction<\/a>. Before that, The Fifth Column<\/a>. Interspersed\/interrupted by random Tory Amos earworm<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Don’t ask me; I’m the one with the scarred brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other tings…<\/p>\n\n\n\n The list of reasons of to live where I do keeps dwindling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n *gets distracted running numbers*<\/p>\n\n\n\n We’ll see what happens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Spent much of the day yesterday getting passed in and out of an MRI tube.
