Awaiting the drum of the MRI ...

Oh it feels so good to be writing. I have resigned to the fact that life is just not going my way at this very moment and that I am going to have to be creative and find out how to get where it is going, or around it. So I have moved me and my little computer to mom's house tonight to share.

It amazes me how many thoughts go through my mind, how diverse they are, and how quickly they can slip from the front to the back. I was talking with a co-worker today and she made the statement that you almost have to be a little OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) to be good at our job. I laughed and said I must be horrible then because if anything I am a little ADD.

I had my wee hours of the night YouTube watching pay off as I was able to answer a student when she asked how male seahorses have babies. It made me feel so smart for a second ... but this has quickly been lost as I sit her squeezing my brain trying to find the word... ahhhh TRIVIA ... yes. I have always been horrible in trivia so for once it felt good to know an answer to something completely unrelated to my everyday life or immediate world. However, it seems that my trivia brilliance has come at the cost of my grammar and that with brilliance in one area I seem to have lost the ability to write proper sentences. I digress ; )

So tomorrow I have my second MRI. The first one post-radiation showed that there had been no change in the size of my tumor from the scan that was done right before I started treatment. My pain has been tougher to manage at times over the past couple of months. And with this in the back of my head I enter the next week with butterflies in my tummy. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

Lotsa love.
