It’s another one of those posts that are incredibly hard for me to write, but the alternative, the one where I keep it bottled up inside of me, is not really working out so well. Yesterday, on the way back from my MRI evaluation with my neurologist (which I will write about later this weekend- [...]

you are inside my head

Before we go into the oh my goodness that was my MRI I feel the need to take a moment and acknowledge something that I always try to remember on June 24. In exactly six months I will be 35. How about that? 35. So today is my half birthday and I want half a [...]

Why are all the really SUPER fun medical tests chock full of letters and acronyms? CBC, HSG, MRI, CAT, EKG, EEG, PET…don’t they all look so cute and precious? Don’t you just want to make them a cup of tea and get them some fuzzy slippers? I guess it’s better to look down the barrel [...]

(totally meandering and dull post for your weekend pleasure) Yesterday was all about getting me up to Baltimore to have a consult with a new neurologist. I have written before about the allergic reaction I had to a medication back in 2004. The short version, that you can breeze through if you have heard me [...]

I really can’t explain the lack of revealing blog posts over here lately. I feel a bit like a performer that is doing a tap dance in order to distract you from the chaos backstage. Not that there is any awful sort of chaos, it’s just the same sort of chaos that we have been [...]

One of the big hurdles of last week was brought to us by yet another snafu with our state assistance. I almost saw this one coming so at least it wasn’t a total sucker punch. A month ago I got a letter in the mail letting me know that I had an appointment to meet [...]

Later this morning I have a sit down meeting with my caseworker. I have never met him, never spoken with him, but when the system shuffled the deck he was assigned to us. Officially he will be my fourth caseworker and yet he is the first one that I am extremely nervous about meeting. And [...]

When it all adds up

I have been alluding to some medical issues recently, not quite ready to elaborate. Mostly because it seemed like my little bits of stuff was typical-ish. Nothing special or extreme. Nothing to warrant much of a concern. When I found out that I was granted state medical coverage when W was I was pleased, but [...]

This week W and I both had doctor appointments- wellness exams. You would think that there would be some sort of significant difference between an infant exam and a grown up’s exam, but they were oddly similar. W’s exam was yesterday and it involved getting a full patient history, asking for any issues of concern [...]
