Tonight's picture was taken in February of 2004. That weekend we took Mattie to the National Aquarium. Which isn't any thing to write home about, but it is small and very doable with a small child. As you can see from this photo, Mattie practically jumped out of Peter's arms to get a closer look at the fish!
Quote of the day: The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease. ~ William Osler
Yesterday when I went to see my neurologist he suggested that I meet with my internist so she could evaluate my symptoms from a holistic standpoint. Because apparently there are other things like diseases and viruses that could potentially explain my symptoms. Between the two of them, they are trying to rule things out. I am all for it and for finding answers. Peter took me to my appointment this morning because with dizziness and light headedness, I do not feel comfortable driving.
My doctor took four vials of blood today, and if I wasn't woozy to begin with, I left feeling even worse. Tomorrow I head for an MRI. However, in the midst of all of this, I have been asked to teach a class at the George Washington University next week and the week after that I have been asked to sit on a dissertation committee defense at the University. The person defending her dissertation is investigating the impact of childhood cancer on parent relationships. So I have been asked to be a subject matter reader. Needless to say, I have got to get it together because the way I have felt this month it has been impossible to work and accomplish anything.
