1. I finally finished grading today. I gave a final on Monday at 8, had a meeting from 10:00-12:45, and then went to the endo (an hour away). Got up at 5:30 on Tuesday and graded until time to go to the neuro at 10:00. Emma and I had our appointments, got home at 3:00, and graded until bedtime. Got up at 5:00 today and graded until 9:30. But now the semester is put to rest!
2. Neuro agrees that it is trigeminal neuralgia almost certainly caused by the root canal. We're going to do an MRI just to be sure it's not caused by anything else like an MS lesion or whatever.
3. We all agree that we are going to aggressively pursue as many diagnostic avenues as possible for Emma, so she's having a lumbar puncture, and hopefully that'll give us some info. If not, we're going to do this new kind of skin punch nerve biopsy. *crosses fingers* She's had some improvement from the starter does of Cymbalta, so he upped her to 30mg. Back in a month. Friday, we see my GP who will start her on a low dose of statin for her bizarrely high cholesterol.
4. I am so tired. I have cried every night for the last week with stress and exhaustion. I am so glad the summer is here. I have got to get some genuine rest.
