Oh, wow, what an AMAZING afternoon! Oddly enough the most memorable things were people - just random folks I overheard in the Metro and watched walk by while I ate at Union Station. Our capitol is absolutely gorgeous right now. It rained yesterday and they expect more rain and storms tomorrow, but today was blessedly cool and sunny. There are ( Read more... )

I sat and did needlepoint for the last hour. I really should be up. I feel like sleeping, but I know I won't feel any better if I do. Shower. Plan. DO. Something. *sigh* Maybe I will try sleeping. Plan on going out after lunch.

Hmm. Started out rather mopey today - tired, achey, kinda pressured in my head, not really a headache. I finally asked for some Tylenol and I'm finally feeling better. Maybe I'll actually go out today. I got a pass, but the whole urine collection thing is problematic. They don't have any coolers, and I don't know where the stores are to get ( Read more... )

Ah, it is a beautiful day. The trip to Alexandria got down-graded to a trip to a local shopping mall because of the really nasty weather out here, so I didn't bother going. Severe thunderstorms and tornado warnings, if you've been watching the news. This morning is clear and the sun is just coming up ( Read more... )

Mmmm... B1 MRI - the cardiac unit - finally let me go at about 1:20. I signed out of my patient care unit at about 10:10, so... LOL ( Read more... )

Whee, I'm exhaustipated. I just finished a high-resolution MRI of the brain, with and without contrast. Thet will show the little pip of residua from 1997, but shouldn't have anything else. A good look at the pituitary, too, but that will be clean ( Read more... )

I met the head honcho today, along with his primary nurses, Meg Keil and Linda Kotz. All young and all pediatricians, interestingly enough. There is another clinical study participant on this floor, and we bring the total number of confirmed Carney Complex victims in their database to just under 500 from all over the globe ( Read more... )

Mmm... Breakfast arrived at noon because today's glucose tolerance test positted "nothing by mouth from midnight until test completion." *sigh* I drank a cola-flavored carbonated thing with 75 grams of glucose in it at about 8:00 and then blood drawn every thirty minutes ( Read more... )

Well, other than the expected middle-of-the-night awakenings for various tests, I'm going to plan on sleeping at 9:00 and waking at 5:00. That may get shifted to 10:00 and 6:00, but tonight at least I'm tuckered and goin' to sleep now. G'nigh'. :-)

Whee... Whaddaday! I checked into NIH this morning at 8:00AM and while nothing was really scheduled for today, I've been meeting specialists and assistants and coordinators, reviewing medical history (there's a LOT, even by their standards!) and starting the ongoing tests. I had an EKG and checked out the patient library ( Read more... )
