Here’s what’s next

Originally posted 2019-11-19 19:40:50. Went to the neurosurgeon yesterday morning. For one the radiology facility didn’t make sure they put all films on the disc, ughh. The PA even said they normally do not have to specify to put all films on a disc but I guess someone decided to do it their own way, who knows. I just have to get the other films on disc and give them to him next appointment. Get…

You funny doc

Originally posted 2021-03-24 09:23:59. I go to my follow-up doctors appointment yesterday. This was to get results of a bunch of tests that were run to see if I had a blood disorder that may explain why I keep having mini-strokes. I had my ninth mini-stroke in February. So, the doctor proceeds with the appointment and tells me all my tests came back negative. YAY right?! Which I’m glad because had I tested positive for…

That appointment was this morning about an hour and a half away. I think I had mentioned in a post after the last injection in my spine that I started to feel more pain.

How do you preserve something that isn’t there?

Originally posted 2016-04-23 20:30:06. Over the last 10 plus years or so I have been taking pictures in fear I won’t be able to remember things, even the most miniscule of memories. Unfortunately with a multitude of pictures comes the need for the storage. Luckily as technology has advanced we have gotten better storage capabilities for our quality images that we want to be able to see 10 years for now. Well in my case…

Microcephaly, is it what you don’t know what you fear the most?

Originally posted 2016-02-01 13:43:35. As most may know this has been in the news a lot lately. What some of you may not know is that my son was also born with microcephaly. Yes, I admit when I was young I didn’t know what to expect with my child having this. I opted to give him up for adoption. Ultimately, I decided to raise my son the best way I knew how. He wasn’t diagnosed…

Study: Memories of music cannot be lost to Alzheimer’s and dementia

Some music inspires you to move your feet, some inspires you to get out there and change the world. In any case, and to move hurriedly on to the point of this article, it’s fair to say that music moves people in special ways.  If you’re especially into a piece of…
