I went to a new Neurologist/specialist today! It was for a 'second-opinion'! I told him everything, from the beginning in 2007-(also see my page "The Man's Tale..." above)- except the parts I could not remember! That was where my BW-(beautiful-wife) stepped in to fill the 'gaps'. I do have 'gaps' in my memory recall - it is like a 'fog', rolling in from the sea. Then it rolls back out again, so my BW takes over the conversation, then I step back in again!
My Doctor today was Dr.B! He spoke with clarity about my history, as he scrolled-through my 'medical-records' on his PC, only stopping to listen to my BW and I re-tell my 'time-line' from Day-0. He did the usual-battery of physical 'tests' on me too!; reflex's, pins, eyes-(...please follow my finger!), lifting of legs-(ha-ha), squeezing of fingers, etc.
But, there was a test performed on me today, which I had not done before! The 'tuning-fork'! That was a bit 'strange', I thought - Dr.B would bang the tf on his leg or the bedside - then place it firmly on my skin at various points! Then ask me - 'can you feel this'? ..what about this? ..or this? ..it got to the point where I could feel it on my head - but not really anywhere else! ...(lol)!
He said... 'now I have some ideas about what it could be - but I want to see some more tests!
He then gave me a card with 7-blood tests on it! And we said goodbye, but not before my BW turned around to say to Dr.B..."It's not psychological - you know! This is not in his head!" ..and with that, he retorted, "..oh no, no, no. Definitely this is not!" -(in my head)- Whew! So off I went to the 'vampires' and they took some of my finest 'red-wine'! More news to come..! Stay tuned readers! Please accept my apologies, but alas, my bloody-fingers are starting to cramp-up! I have to go, for now!
But in the mean time, I thought I might take this opportunity to show you my new 'set-of-wheels'! I have been looking at this little beauty for a few weeks now. It is so cheap to run! And the look on my face, when I bring it home! ...Priceless!
Should I go for 'Left-Hand-Drive', OR 'Right-Hand-Drive'?
