Today for Easter my wife and I went out for Sunday Brunch. The restaurant was very crowded but that was expected. We finally were seated after about 25 minutes which wasn't too bad. I immediately...

Today is the opening day for my beloved Cardinals. It sure doesn't seem like it though. It's 37 friggin' degrees out. But I'm a stalwart baseball fan. Cold blustery days don't discourage...

If you want something that will take your mind off your asthma, have someone tell you that you need to have minor brain surgery. Actually it's just for the insertion of a shunt but it still involves...

I had my cisternogram today. Not surprisingly it was much easier than I imagined. (Of course what I imagined would have been in line with the interrogation techniques of Dr.Fu Manchu.) I arrived on...

I have a little extra time on my hands so I guess I'll make a journal entry. (I know,...big whoop) I didn't have the lumbar puncture on Wednesday because my neurologist found out that they had...

Last night I had a strange dream. It wasn't a nightmare or anything but it did trigger an asthma attack, although minor. From what I recall, I was out with friends and someone told a corny joke....

I'm scheduled for the lumbar puncture on Wednesday, or as the paperwork calls it, the NUC Cisternogram. If I respond as they think and if the labs go as expected, then the neuro doc will have surgery...

My neurologist called and said that I have enlarged ventricles in the brain. (No joke there) She said that it could have been caused by head trauma or some serious infection. She said that there is...

I have been a little drowsy since I started on the new med from the neuro doc. Therefore I have basically just kicked back for the last few days.  The med is primidone and I was advised that it...

My that's a grand title. But seeing as how my original "Update" was such a huge success it seemed a sequel was in order. The following is complete fiction. It's just that I couldn't resist playing...

I saw the neurologist today. She is very nice and seems quite qualified. She put me through a lot of reflex and balance tests. I thought that for some of them I needed a choreographer...or at least...

It's a good thing that I'm retired. Otherwise I would not have time for my doctor appointments. Now my PCP wants me to come in. So my schedule now has me seeing the neurologist on Monday, my pcp on...

I don't know about you but to me it seems as if time is just whizzing by. I can't believe that it's March already. Here I was enjoying my respite from specialists .I had nary an appointment with any...

I don't feel quite as energetic today as I did yesterday. I don't feel bad...just dragged out. I think I may be trying to catch a cold...I hope the cold is fast enough to elude me.   But it's an ill...

I am really encouraged by the change in my blood pressure medication. My blood pressure is good and my pulse rate is under control. (IT had been racing). Now I know it has only been two days but...
