in continuing news about my brain

1. Insurance approved three of the four MRIs (brain, cervical spine, thoracic spine) and rejected the lumbar spine. I'm having the three on Saturday night at 6:45. I meet with the neurologist on Tuesday and at that point he will decide if the lumbar one is necessary. He should have the results of all the tests at that point, so on Tuesday, I should know *something*.

2. Earlier this week, I had a cognitive test (not connected to the cap o'goo, thankfully). I think I did really well on it except for the part where I was asked to memorize a screen of pictures and then identify them later. Also, the part with ever-increasingly quick math problems. *shudders*

3. So, when my MRIs were canceled last week, I made a retail therapy purchase from JetPens that arrived a couple days ago. Forthcoming review post. *pets all my new pens*

4. This journal has been pretty much unremittingly about my brain lately LOL, so let's inject something fannish. Tell me about your latest fannish interest, accomplishment, WTF moment, whatever. *chin hands*

Insurance: sometimes actually worse than not having insurance! GAHH. I'm convinced sometimes they deny tests just by lottery. "Wheel quit spinning on....lumbar MRI! Sorry, no."

Yeah I was mainly going to warn you about the sound, which was for me like being stuffed in a metal trash can while someone banged on it with a baseball bat, and the noise completely drowned out the music on headphones and I also had to stay completely still. I found it excruciating, but I hope yours is uneventful!
