Back from the PET scan.

When you have a PET scan, CAT scan, and MRI, they strap you in so that you can't move as you travel through the round machine part.

Question of the day: What is the first thing that happens once you're strapped in? I'm considering offering a prize for the correct answer.

Bunny, olga always means well. She doesn't have an unwell-meaning bone in her body.

@Roberta,
Just popping in to say g'day, Roberta.

I was wondering (I know how much you love the snow) have you enjoyed lots of it this holiday season? Or perhaps a little too much? (I've been reading the US weather reports. Brrrrr!)

Glad that your PET scan is over & done with.

We haven't had much snow this year (yet), but it was a tad on the chilly side today. With the wind chill--below zero.

@dlowan,
Too long. I don't see the ENTs again for a month. I may have to try to take some action about this. I'm considering a thud. Trying to reach anyone or get any info is almost impossible.

Yup, gonna add a thud.

Thud.

Back from seeing the internist at Bellevue. A veritable mensch, even if she is just 15 years old. (When did these doctors get so young?)

Deb, She said she'd look for the results of the PET scan on my file and call me Wednesday to let me know what's going on. She also volunteered to run interference for me with the Bellevue bureaucracy. An ubermensch. And she gave me her pager number.

Been in a dark place lately. Worrying myself sick (as if I wasn't sick already) about my health, life, and money.

On the upside: The mensch doctor. Also when a man got out of a cab, I went to get in. He called me "Sweetheart."

@Roberta,
Hooray for the ubermensch youthful doc as well as the random guy who knows a sweetheart when he sees one. Very Happy

I'm not remotely surprised. This has been an extraordinarily tough sequence of events for you. I'm in awe, honestly, that you've coped as well as you have. I mean that.

Hey, you seem to be charming cab drivers all over NYC! Love it! Very Happy

Wishing a much quieter, gentler 2010 for you, Roberta. With far fewer challenges.

Love to you on this (Oz) new years eve,

Olga

@Izzie,
Roberta!

From one mutt of a Johnny-Come-Lately-Newcomer of a New Yorker to one lovely native New Yorker, let this New Year bring bouts of flourishments and constant well being and good health for all. There are too many beautiful birds out there to be photographed, admired, and loved to be sick all of the time. That's an order for the sake and sanity of all us Gothamites! Remain healthy!

Foist, I wanna wish each and every one of you a glorious noo year. Glorious, I tell ya.

Second, I'm not one for mush but I feel a mush attack coming on, so duck if you wanna. I don't know that I would have gotten through these past two horrible years without you guys. You are often my only human contact for days on end. My only support (with a few exceptions). And my only link to what little sanity I have. I've thanked you before, and I'm saying THANK YOU again.

tsar, Inspired. I can't drop dead now. Too many birds left for me to appreciate. I may be the only patient at Bellevue Hospital who stops by the front lawn with every visit to admire the pigeons and sparrow. Oiban boids. My kind of avians. Thanks for the kind words, kid.
