I find it really fascinating what happens to me, but to be honest, sometimes I get scared out of my mind! This happened recently.
At the beginning of this month I had a lovely MRI... Well, three in one day (went from 8am to 10:45am before school). Of course I requested copies of the images so I can look at the pictures and find the problems before getting a phone call to tell me what's wrong. This time the MRI tech was hilarious! Well, relatively funny. After the two and some odd hours he made a joke. He asked if there was anything else I wanted to MRI while I was at it, like a knee or arm. I appreciated his dry humor. I love dry jokes.
Anyway, when I got home from the hospital I found a little time to glance at my images, I found two "new" lesions, and the faded lesion that was my optic neuritis (what cause my blind spots). One of the new lesions was enhanced (currently active/under attack), the other was not. both were around the posterior horn of the lateral ventricle on the right hemisphere of my brain.
Number 3 points at the location.
Oddly enough, I wasn't too upset about finding these things. Nah, what got to my mood was when I got the phone call the next day and was told that I get to have another bout of Methylprednisolone. Aka: Solu-medrol. Aka: Steroids. Three days. I had them the beginning of the week for thankgiving. Yeah, i was pretty cheerful. Not really.
So what then happened? The steriods owned me. I had more side effects than ever before. the works.
- Increased appetite.
- Irritability.
- Insomnia.
- Hands shaking from anxiety.
- Fatigue.
- Anxious mood.
- Joint pain.
- Horrible metallic taste in mouth all day.
So basically, I got owned. Pretty much. But there was a very bright side to this week. I regained contact with someone awesome from my mission. There was a sister missionary I got to know in my time in the MTC who I found interesting to talk to. We've been talking. It's been nice. She's fun to talk with, I suppose. I dunno how else to put it.
Dogs, dogs everywhere. That's a good way to put it. :) I've also realized that I 'm pretty good at sometimes having confidence with the ladies. I just need to be more forward, or... I don't know actually. Maybe I just need to be a better bruh? (Warning, some language.) Hahaha, right. No. There was a recent blog post that has been floating around facebook about how to ask girls out in a way that they like. Basically, be up front about it and not a freaking pansy.
One problem with that that I've found. if they aren't attracted to you, they will still ignore you..? Yup.
Not much more to say about that. If you want more details, it's been said in my podcast When you're 23 You'll eventually see which of the episodes it speaks of such things.
Yeah, I think that's about enough of this post. It's certaintly been a while since I posted anything. And I figured a post would be nice. Especially since I've been learning HTML and wanted to show off a few things. So there you go. consider that a nice little show off.
Too lazy to center it.
Enjoy.
