I've been so bad about updating. Everything has just kicked my butt this week, and I'm blaming it on the time change messing with my internal clock. My car has also been out of service this week, so Mr. Rhody has been driving me to and from work, which means I've been at work later than usual.
Anyway, I had an interesting afternoon on Tuesday. I got a call Tuesday morning that they'd gotten in a bunch of H1N1 shots, first come, first serve. I already had my neurologist appointment scheduled for 3:20, so I said I'd come in at 3. Of course, I got to the office right at 3, and, at 3:20, I was still waiting in the waiting room with the receptionist promising me every 5 minutes the nurse was "just" about to take me in. Finally, they gave me a different nurse who did the shot quickly. Sheesh! At least it's done, and I am all immunized.
So we showed up to the neurologist's office about 15 minutes late, but he didn't seem to mind as much as his receptionist did. He was a really nice guy, especially notable for the fact that he didn't talk down to us. After talking for about an hour over my symptoms, he said, based on the MRI and the accompanying headaches, he thinks it's just migraines from the increase in hormones from pregnancy. He said that the numbness should get better over time, which it has. I'd say it peaked around week 9, so this seems to go with his theory well. He said to call him if it gets suddenly worse or changes.
Overall, it's been a good week. Except for being tired most of the time, I've been feeling pretty good. In fact, I felt well enough last night to go to the Melting Pot with Mr. Rhody and gorge myself on 4 courses. All that and I even woke up early this morning with a growling stomach!
