  1. No new lesions in the C-spine, T-spine or L region. There was one very small lesion in the right hemisphere of my brain. It was not active, but it was new from the last images from 2014. So, the results mean that I am still kicking ass on the MS front. This is very good news.

  4. The orders are to increase fiber in my diet. A few diverticula, a polyp (which has been sent to a lab to determine what kind of polyp it is), and a sticky stubborn little poop ball that wouldn’t budge from its cozy indentation regardless of how many liters of electrolytes solution washed over it. Quite the naughty pearl, that one. The sedative made me nauseous, so I threw up apple juice all the way home and slept through dinner. Oatmeal on the stove for breakfast, which I love. Haven’t eaten anything solid since 6 pm on Monday.

  5. Emmy’s team went undefeated to the championship game. They beat an older team in extra innings to get there. This is important because it meant that whoever we played had to beat us twice. This made me feel proud and optimistic. Well the coaching staff decided to start a back up against the the same team that we had just beaten. They’re win in the loser bracket put them right back against Emmy in the championship game. This made me nervous. Our ur back up pitcher spotted them 5 runs in the first. She got pulled, but the damage was done. This made me frustrated. We were home and the last inning their pitch was getting frustrated. You see, it was cold and windy and the rain was starting. And we were hitting her and getting on base. This made me happy. Well, it was too little, too late. We lost but had momentum. On to the rubber match. Emmy started. The rain came down. It was dark, cold and windy. Our coach decided to be visitors when he won the toss. This is important because it kept our hot bats up and the frustrated pitcher on the mound. This made me nervous. We put 7 on them in the first inning (only a 2 inning rubber match). This made me super nervous for the last inning because the older girls would get a chance to bat. This is how it played out. Emmy took the mound in the bottom of the last inning. She was up 10-0. It was dark and windy. It was cold and the rain was not letting up. The other pitcher had no control. I was super worried that she was going to walk in a few runs due to the conditions. Then she would get frustrated and lose the game. They were on their #4 hitter in the meat of their line up. Emmy sat her down with 3 pitches!!! The next batter came up and was also dispatched after striking out. I was gaining confidence but this still made me nervous The final batter was up. Her count was 3-2. She’d fouled off 3 pitches. The wind was kicking up. The fans were going nuts. The girls in the dugout were up on the fence trying to get into Em’s head. The last pitch? Strike 3 looking, a fastball on the outside corner. And possibly the hardest pitch that she threw all weekend. Guys. I cannot tell you how proud I am of this kid. She never lets up, works her ass off, and is the most intense kid you’ll ever meet. Her bat had been lagging but she was hot at the plate this weekend with 5 base hits. 2 sac flies and a sac bunt. 2 walks and only 3 k’s. She recorded 29 strike outs and only 9 walks allowing 4 hits and 5 runs in 4 games pitched. (We didn’t get to record one of her games). She was AMAZING!!

  15. Tonight I grabbed a couple beers and headed to my dimly lit man cave. I thought I was grabbing a couple ice beers, my cheap go to beer when I am trying to be frugal. The first one slid down pretty quick and opened the second one and was drinking it while reading the forum. I said to myself: "self, this tastes like an IPA". Sure enough I had grabbed a Founders Centennial IPA out of the fridge. I went to the LBS the other day and bought some IPAs and some Black Chocolate Stout. They probably won't last long.

  22. FIFY. You of all people should know that correct word usage matters, even during a colonoscopy. Nauseated is experiencing nausea. Nauseous is that thing, in your case the sedative, that makes one experience nausea and become nauseated.

  23. Honestly, most folks I pass on recumbents look close to nodding off. At the speeds they go, I think boredom is quick to set in. I will say, though, that a flat course like the Seagull Century is a rare chance to actually see a lot of folks on/in recumbents. Still mostly poking along, but at a better pace than regular. I am also surprised how often the 'bents have an assortment of rear view mirrors, but are always shocked when you roll past them. Again, I think it might be their near asleep mind at play.

  34. It's just so hard to predict what a kid will be interested in. We saw many talented athletes drop sports due to burn out, injury, pregnancy, legal/criminal matters and drugs & alcohol. We also saw numerous go on to play in college and saw one get drafted into the major leagues. It's a crapshoot really... We never forced my kids to do anything. We offered the opportunities & resources. It was up to them to opt in or not.

  35. Well, the curly-Q in Al's tail is in the shape of a "16", so it has been out of date since January. I guess I could change it, but then I'd have to change it again on 01/08/2019. So, I think I'll wait until then.
