a little more good news

During my hospitalization and health crisis (almost 7 months ago) I had many many MANY diagnostics tests. After experiencing a couple of seizures, an MRI was done of my brain (yes, I have one!). Although they didn't find the cause of my seizures, there was an "incidental finding" of a questionable spot between my cerebellum and brain stem. The doctors didn't think it looked like anything serious, but since they found it, they had to keep an eye on it.  Last month I had another MRI to see if the spot had changed in any way or if there was any cause for concern. I finally saw my neurologist yesterday to get the verdict. The good news is that there is no reason to think there is anything wrong with my brain - you may insert your own joke here!

The most rewarding part of my visit to see Dr. Sands was when he looked at me smiling and said "I can't get over how good you look!" Aw, shucks, Doc! Of course, he saw me when I first got to the hospital when I looked REALLY bad. After doing an extensive physical exam testing my strength and reflexes, Dr. Sands has decided that we don't need to see each other any more! One less doctor to visit!

So, the good news is I have the doctor's permission to drive again!

The bad news is that now it's time to start looking for a job. Actually, that's not bad news - it's just a little scary...
