This Monday morning, I'm having a brain scan.
For whatever reason, my neurologist office said they were having trouble getting in touch with the scan place.
Finally, after waiting patiently for a week, I stopped calling the Dr, decided to go over to the office, and just get the information myself.
I kept calling the scan center for the better part of two days, until finally, I got the place on the phone.
I'm a bit.. apprehensive. The good thing is,. that.. whatever happens, I'm going to be able to find out what the hell this is, and hopefully finally deal with it, once and for all.
I had been feeling,. mostly okay this week.
Today, the headaches returned again with a fury.
As those who follow baseball are aware, the Atlanta Braves and St Louis Cardinals are playing in a baseball playoff series currently.
Today is an off day for the series, which resumes tomorrow.
Even though as I've posted before, my Dad is not feeling well.
From listening to the tone in his voice on the phone today, I have a feeling he';s extremely concerned about me.
I almost.. tried to.. play down my situation, saying something to him like.
"Whatever this is, let them just find out already, so that they can deal with this".
I know that the next few days are going to be rough.
I called my neurologist's office yesterday, and said to them.
"How will I know if I'm okay or not?"
They said. "If something is wrong, we will call you"
I'm going to ask the scan place to tell me how long it will take for the results to come back, and then regardless of what happens, either just call or go over to my Dr's office, to find out the details, for my own piece of mind.
Now, I take the scan, and then wait.
Sigh! Thank Heaven for the distraction of the Braves-Cardinals playoff series.
Hopefully the Braves will advance, not only because they are the team I root for, but because I was so involved with watching the games the last two nights, that it completely took my mind off my situation.
Sometimes, distractions like that are what is needed, to put your mind on something, so involved, that it removes you from the reality of a serious medical condition, and such.
