Summer Time!

Good morning. Today is a beautiful, sunny day here in Maine. It's about 83 degrees, low humidity; it certainly is beautiful in all the ways most people would expect.

Last week, I had my annual MRI up the coast in Brunswick, Maine. My mom went with me this time. I always like to bring someone else to do the remembering for me since I never quite know what was said to me at these meetings after about 20 minutes. Also, The MRI was an hour from my house and scheduled at 8am. Having worked till 2am, that didn't leave me much time for sleep so driving up alone didn't seem like a good idea.

2 hours.

That's how long it took to get all the scans of my brain and spinal chord - both with and without contrast dye. 

"Hey, you, kid with ADHD. Yeah. I need you to lay perfectly still without falling asleep for 2 hours."

God, I hate MRIs.

After the MRI was complete, my mother and I headed over to Lowes to burn time before the meeting with my Neurologist to look over the images.

We bought a white mailbox for our wedding in which people can place cards. My mom is going to have Mr. & Mrs. Salve printed on the sides. It's a cute idea. I like it.

Anyway, we went back to the Neurology offices and met with my Doctor. She looked over all the slides and images and saw that there is no new areas of inflammation as compared to my last MRI. For those of you who aren't quite keeping up, that's what we call "good news." It means my MS is back in remission.

Huzzah!

Oh, and about the wedding, since I brought it up... 
Cassy and I are getting married in 3 weeks! We're so excited. Most of the planning is done, now we're just playing the waiting game.

That's all, people
