Random thoughts on Thursday

Well, I had the MRT (MRI) done yesterday, and those were the loooongest 15 minutes, I tell you! Did I mention I'm claustrophobic? I wasn't too thrilled either when they told me I had to lie face down with one arm held out straight above my head, while a needle was stuck in the other pumping in the radiocontrast agent. Then, when the extremely loud thumping noise began I thought I'd gone to techno-hell! Results will be in in about three days, but guess what? My physician has gone on vacation for two weeks, so I'm forced to live with the pain and the uncertainty until he get's back. Great. I'm sorry for not being very cheery this morning, but I had to get up really early for additional blood tests on an empty stomach. I get really cranky when I haven't had my breakfast! I promise I'll be in a better mood tomorrow. I'm a positive person! ☺☺☺☺☺☺

A trip to the doc...

Okay, so the weather has turned from bad to worse and there's this new wave of viruses making rounds over here. I wasn't feeling too good this morning (my glands were swollen); not as bad as last time, but definitely something the doctor should look at. So I put on my woolliest sweater and a scarf and my thick outdoor jacket and went to see the doctor. She said my throat didn't look too bad, but she made some blood tests anyway, just in case. I will need to call in tomorrow to find out if the virus has reactivated or if I caught another one (please don't let this be the case). Sigh....

Meanwhile, I'm going to have to cancel some work-related appointments again.  Also, if I do have another virus, it's highly infectious and I don't want to be responsible for making other people sick, but I fear my reputation is going to suffer if I keep cancelling work stuff. There's nothing I can do about it. Sorry, this is not a happy post. I'm just so sick (literally) and tired of this whole virus mess and winter dragging on and on and on. 

At least I have more time to read your blogs and discover new ones, which is always highly entertaining and brightens my day.
