I could go round to everyone and get a copy, not only of the report, but a disc of the beads dropping. I've done that already for an x-ray of the shoulder I hope to get fixed. They can mail the results. They won't send the actual data by email or by fax, claiming "their/our" lines are not secure.

But as it's just precautionary, I will be at the bottom of the list, and it will take some time. But she did tell me that an MRI will always show something, and that is just the way it is. So your comment about a perfect MRI stood out to me.Anvilcloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974744042579564912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-34180951091026452792018-01-24T03:01:56.897-05:002018-01-24T03:01:56.897-05:00Pinochle?

As you know I have epilepsy so I do have seizures if I don't take my medicine. They have never found any seizure activity for me. That sticky paste you spoke of is far superior to the way they used to do it. They used to insert little electrode needles directly into all those places on the head and one in each earlobe. They didn't hurt but I'll take the paste any day.Emma Springfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543689047463574012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-40823364011513913402018-01-23T21:49:30.751-05:002018-01-23T21:49:30.751-05:00Leo is undergoing something similar...

It's the doctor's responsibility to make sure you have no condition that would affect your driving without the Keppra, and we can't fault him for doing his job. But yes, I wonder why communication is not better. It's frustrating when those things go awry. I'm sorry you are having nightmares. That's not any fun at all.<br /><br />I always wanted a pinochle game when I was a kid. I played at someone else's house - once - and never had another chance. Maybe I need to find a senior's group that has one, seeing as we have no Methodists here :) jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-78514318258508431742018-01-23T20:52:37.783-05:002018-01-23T20:52:37.783-05:00I was interested he said he wanted to see where al...I was interested he said he wanted to see where all the dots were, himself.
