Civilian casualties update

Boring, but here's my next medical project. I go to a neurologist(?) at Everett Clinic of Neurology, and get to play "Find the numb /tingling /annoying neck to fingertips source!". Oy.

I dunno what to expect. Waite did mention something about a bunch of fine needles being inserted from neck to digits, or maybe not exactly that, being used to locate the source. Ain't that swell? I imagine they do something electrical to find it, but what if it isn't a total numb day? Oh well. I have no clue where to begin to look. I just saw a snap /bio of the guy doing me 7/18. Zap!

This weekend was Mom's 81st b'day. She's so beautiful still! Gordy took some snaps before of her in a very grainy black & white film that really exacerbates her wrinkles, and creates new flaws -- great for an old Man, but Mom? Not good use of film -- she looks nasty.

The gibberish phase seems to have gone with the most recent Rx she tried -- yay!!! That was very scary. She often mixes up words now, or can't find them, but that was horrific. Oh, I so try not to let my mind go where Mom's future issues will be. Insidious. INSIDIOUS and EVIL DISEASE!

Also, I got to mark Mom's b'day with a trip to the ER. Gordy dropped us off (me and Mom) and went to his Dad's day dinner, and while Mom got antsy, after we finally got discharged to calm her down, we tried to get info on any Taxi's up north that we couldn't find in our phone books (all of them were out of biz in ours -- and per our local operator]. I didn't get to just heal or rest because Mom really is (never has been) a bad "visitor". She needs to talk all the time, and I needed rest and let the Rx work..hah! Had to go 2 rounds of injections to calm the belly, including bentyl (which may have exacerbated it) and then the "green cocktail). Ugh. But that helped!!!

OH yeah, last bit o' total trivia. Seems as if my water heater is breaking /broke. Who would've thunk it when between G & G they keep the dishwasher 24x7 and wsher, the same. GAK! Ut oh -- big expense looms.

But, I guess things, when all is said and done, aren't too bad?
