Friday - Wet and cool in the morning, sunny and cooler in the evening

The weather broke finally.  It’s so much cooler than before.  Hurray.

In other things….this morning F took me back to the doctor.  I asked him about my meeting next week, if I would be able to go or not, and that seemed to light a fire under his butt!  Instead of having a CT scan next week, he sent me to the emergency room of the local hospital to get one.  While I was there I had all sorts of interesting tests and things done to me!  

Upshot is I finally have a diagnosis, one I was more than halfway expecting, plus an added bonus that I thought might be present too.  I’ve started treatment and I already feel much, much better.  I still have a bit of pain in my side but even that is better than before.  

Last night, I couldn’t sleep lying down so I had to sleep sitting up on the chesterfield, this evening I took a nap in bed.  Improvements!

F and I hadn’t eaten breakfast, and didn’t get out of the hospital until after 4 pm, so we went to Cocos and had a nice meal.  We came home for a bit and then went out for dinner after 8.  Tonight we went to Grado and had a good meal, except that a couple of people in the restaurant were smoking and it was a little uncomfortable for me. I’m going to have to avoid being around smokers for a while.  

Anyway…had a nice dinner, got F to pick up something at the drugstore for me, then checked my school.  Things are fine there.  

We came home and I watched a good Mel Gibson movie, followed by an interesting British movie called The Disappearance of Alice Creed. It was a three-hander, only three actors but quite well written and acted. I had no idea what was going to happen next.  

Now we’re watching the Lord of the Rings…well I am.  F is watching Youtube and laughing away at times.  

That’s it for me. I really should get to bed soon, but Lord of the Rings is so….Aragorn, kwim?

Got to go.  Night.
