WARNING: May Cause Seizures
You may have noticed I am playing around with the layout of my blog! And by that, I mean that unless you are legally blind, you are now flinching at the forty different fonts, jarringly unmatched colors, and multiple personality settings on this page. I needed some mindless fiddling while waiting for phone to ring from doctor ... and started with trying to change the color of the font and ended up ... um, here. It now hurts my head to look at.
I should have known better than to attempt to undertake any type of blog upgrade project since my tech skills are limited to dropping my phone in the toilet and then showing up at the Verizon store with a wet phone to report, "This is BROKEN!" And then buying a better phone, because who wants a phone with a product defect (as in, phone fails to work when submerged in water)? I don't!
I'll work on this (not the phone toilet dropping; I've just accepted I have clumsy hands and now purchase extended warranties) ... but the blog ... and will try to get back to readable form soon. And I apologize if reading in current format induces migraines. I owe you a martini for your troubles.

Sure, I Can Wait
Dr. NeuroSquared's reply to my email this morning:
The paraneoplastic panel is still pending. It will take a few weeks at least. We send it to Mayo. Call or email me in a few weeks if you have heard nothing. The MRA of the neck was normal. No evidence of subclavian abnormality. I will mail you the report.
MRA was done yesterday (Sunday morning - IV and hospital at 7 am - and how was YOUR weekend?) to look for vascular abnormalities in the brain, which would have been an explanation for the cognitive problems. Cerebral-vascular problems would restrict blood flow, thereby impairing vision and function. I was actually hoping something would show up on that, since vascular problems can be fixed with medicine or surgery.
The paraneoplastic panel is the "you are toast" test ... (and UNFIXABLE) ... so NO rush on those~! Take your time, Mayo! It is not like I am waiting to know!
And husband, I suggest that you do not look at the AmEx bill for the next few weeks and just consider the on-line shopping a medical expense. I am positive that new shoes are a valid tax deduction. Alternative medicine? Medical devices? Supportive therapy?
Any accountant friends gonna back me up here?
