Planning The Unpredictable

Tonight was the fancy hotel night. I must say I was disappointed in the food but the view was nice on the 4th floor overlooking Elliott Bay. It would have been great if it wasn’t raining… None the less. We had a good time. It was highly educational. The [...]

I had my follow up appointment with the Neurologist today. He went over the the labs which were normal. He also went over the MRI and just said there were 3-4 lesions on the spine. We went over meds and all that stuff. Pretty boring appointment which is the best kind [...]

We had a fun trip to Montreal and Boston. I haven’t been to either city so even a short trip was fun. The drive to Boston brought me through two states I hadn’t been to and I must say Vermont is pretty. Lots of green trees… and some “mountain” like objects. [...]
