lunabee341. 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*

When I give in to 'but this isn't the best thing i could be working on' i just end up abandoning it in favor of nothing. But words are words and I'm learning something from writing + i'm enjoying myself.
