I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Got it fixed. So anyways he's up the dosing on the new med and is getting me scheduled for a EEG. Haven't had one of those done since 2008. He was reading old notes made by the last neurologist I saw back then. He was really reading my file as I could hear the shock in his voice over the fact that I survived a brain tumour and it was benign as well.

Finally!) getting up to speed on your history. Also glad you're getting an EEG. If it were me I'd order an MRI too. Yanno, start the whole evaluation process all over again, as if you were never seen before. I second guess ALL my doctors when it comes to weird stuff, and I'm usually right. ----------- "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." - Henry Kissinger AMERICANS SUPPORT AMERICA

Registered as I was told then had to go down to the basement. To go the neurological clinic I follow a green line and to go to the EEG, I follow a blue line.

Registered as I was told then had to go down to the basement. To go the neurological clinic I follow a green line and to go to the EEG, I follow a blue line. This sounds like one of those older buildings where they just kept adding on. Where I get most of my medical care the main hospital has a confusing addition. And the cancer hospital??? Oh my word! I could get lost for a day in the basement! I get lost indoors really easily. I joke with the medical staff that if I was a rat in a maze, scientists would be looking at me and asking "What is WRONG with that one???“ I've been trying to teach dear daughter to navigate, and I realized that different people navigate differently. Some do east-west-north-south. Some people remember rights and lefts. Some people navigate by landmarks. Some people make maps in their head on the fly. Some people follow the signs, or just do what their GPS tells them. Most people do some sort of combination. I'm an east-west kind of gal. If I'm outside and can see the sun, I'm golden. Once I'm indoors, I'm lost. ***** I did more raking and sweeping up, this time it was pine needles from under the Canary Island pines. Like before, I filled up 2 * 65 gallon bins. I'd raked up that area a month or two ago, but since then I had someone clean off the roof and clean out the gutters. That, plus more dropped pine needles created another inch thick mess. It's funny, as I was raking and sweeping up I was thinking what a fire hazard those needles are, and what should pop up on my phone but a red flag (high fire danger) warning as well as a wind warning. We're in a very well-watered suburb, far from the suburban - wild land interface. But still, I'm glad I cleaned up. ----------- "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." - Henry Kissinger AMERICANS SUPPORT AMERICA

Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: Congrats on win! How's the weather? I know it's a big impediment to you getting around. And, any idea when you'll get EEG results? I hope it's a whole lotta nothing. But even if it isn't, I'm super glad they're checking. ***** Over here, weather is perfect. So I've been taking the oppty to work outdoors. I feel good doing yardwork, it makes me feel vigorous. I had cleaned up under the pines, and then we had a breezy day (Wind warning? HA!) which knocked down more pine needles. Can you believe I have three 65 gal bins filled mostly with pine needles? I'm gonna have to get our tree guy to come out and thin them, along with a tip pruning the Island cherries, limbing up the oak, taking out the star pine deadwood, and cutting back the avocados. At least we don't have the #@! Mexican fan palms and King palms to deal with! Anyway, a job well done, if I may say so. * dusts hands. And dusts off shirt and hair, bangs out shoes, takes off gloves, takes off N95, rinses out nose with antibiotic, and takes a shower * I have all three bins filled, but I still have the smaller ones. So tomorrow I'm going to start on front yard pruning. I finally realized one conundrum with the front landscape. Long story, but now that I've isolated the problem I can come up with something. ----------- "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." - Henry Kissinger AMERICANS SUPPORT AMERICA

It was fine when I went out but then I got rained on coming home. I admire your fortitude, BRENDA. I don't think I could make myself walk in the rain unless I absolutely had to. I used to love walking. When I was a teen and needed to get out of the house I'd walk for hours. But now, between one thing and another, if it wasn't for the dog I wouldn't walk at all.
