Nothing too exciting has happened for the first half of the week. The weather has been yuck-o, so no flying for moi. (Notice the French flare of this blog post!) Today was my short day (whereas every day for my mother is a short day, since she’s so tiny!) and I was done at 1:45. I went to the market and bought a big ol’ bag of kettle corn for the tower folks at the airport. I drove out there for a visit and dropped off their noms (nom nom nom). A storm came in while I was there and I got to see how their system indicates lightning strikes. It was rather neat! After a natter, I ran out into the rain and headed over the Lower Bridge in Niagara Falls (Nexus only) to pick up my package in our mailbox in the States. I was in the US for about three minutes total – I love Nexus! Once home, I did some stuff around the apartment, then I got out the waffle maker I bought Chuck for Father’s Day. I did exactly what it said in the rather simple instructions. It’s supposed to be a non-stick surface – yeah, right! Does this look non-stick to vouz?
I was going to take it back, after I cleaned it. However, I’m going to give it another go with some PAM spray. If that doesn’t do the trick, then back it goes! Enough of that silliness!
I’ll be leaving work a little early tomorrow for an appointment with my neurologist. I have a feeling he may order another MRI to see if the Tysabri infusions are helping to shrink the two honkin’ lesions on my brain, which formed in December of 2010. The average size of an MS lesion is around 1 mm. I go big or go home – check out these bad boys!
One of these caused my right foot to become very weak, so that I had to walk with a cane. This happened just before Christmas last year. I sure home these monthly IV infusions are shrinking the lesions and preventing any new ones from forming.
Today’s symptoms: Feeling the best I’ve felt all week! I’ve had a fairly bad headache for a few days, plus some stabbing pains in my hands and arms. My energy level was great today!
