CT scan results

So I called the doctor's office yesterday to see if they might have gotten the results. I love how the nurse calls me back..."we got the results, everything looks fine" was her spiel. So where do we go from here was my response to her. She was totally deflated sounding. She said that she would have to talk to the doctor and get back to me. What the heck? Now going on 7 weeks with an illness and all she had to say was good test results? So I suggested that maybe he refer me to an infectious disease specialist or do another test for Lyme disease. Something, anything to figure out what is wrong with me. Right now I am fighting off the massive headache that started about 20 minutes ago. Someone told me the other day that Lyme disease doesn't always give a positive result the first time...or sometimes the second time. So maybe I got a false negative...at least Lyme disease is curable. I went in today for another round of blood work. They took four vials from my left arm since the IV was a week ago in the right one. I am starting to feel like a human pin-cushion. Yuck.


On the positive side, I celebrated my birthday this weekend. Let's just say that I am 29 with a few years of experience and chalk it up to that. We celebrated with friends on Friday night at an Indian restaurant and then we celebrated as a family on Saturday by going to the High Museum and seeing the Monet Water Lillies exhibit.

I also enjoyed the beach and water pictures exhibit as well. We ended up downstairs for a snack in the little snack shop and noticed that they had easels set up outside for kids to paint on. Grayson was all about that so we decided to go out there. Randy has this idea that we cannot go anywhere that I don't know someone. And by george, he seems to be right! Sitting outside helping was a gentleman that I spent three days with in a workshop talking about incorporating the arts into every subject of instruction. How funny it was to walk out and see him there. Plus the fact that I was totally BUSTED. I should have submitted four lesson plans on Friday...and I didn't. He said only 5 people had done it and he was going to offer an extension. Thank goodness. :-)


This is Grayson's painting. Starting from top left and going counter-clockwise: a house, then mommy, below her is grass and next to the house is a very long slide. I think it is interesting that the house looks like a stop light. :-) He is definitely the artist! He loves to draw, color, paint, write, etc.
