Almost there....

So, my next (and hopefully last) MRI is Thursday.  I'm hoping for the all-clear for several reasons.  Number one, obviously, being that I have survived.  I'd like to get back to doing stuff - not that I haven't been busy enough, but it makes me really tired really fast still.  In fact, on Friday I had a dizzy spell and with the recent history, I immediately got taken to the ER to make sure.  CT scan showed nothing (besides the leftover junk from the radiation that is being checked again on Thursday) , EKG was normal, etc.  So they gave me  a Percocet and an advil and told me to go home and take is easy.  I did and slept about 10 or 11 hours and woke up with a head cold.  It appears that what was making me dizzy was that I was so congested that there was pressure affecting my balance.  I relieved the pressure the next morning, but it took a lot of tissue to do it.  So, if you've heard that I ran out to the ER and you're not sure why, there it is.  Anyway, I am guessing that it will be a week or so until I get the final word from the doc regarding the results of the MRI.  

And for the off-beat and hopefully interesting random bit that I like to add to my posts, here's an old article from the Oregonian that I still would like to follow up on.  Maybe the Portlanders reading this will enjoy some of these things.  It's a list of 10 ensembles/groups that do strange and cool art things in Portland.

Enjoy!
