Noggin Update and more

I saw Dr. C this afternoon about three things: my weird headache, an unusual rash and to fill up my disability form.

Before she checked me, Dr. C asked how I am and if my hair started growing. I gave her a peak of my baldness. She said it's coming! :) Then we ended up talking how my kids are taking it, the baldness and my illness. I told her they're ok with my baldness and that we even make fun of it these days. I also told Dr. C that Jason is the one who wants certainty about my well-being and my hair. It was quite a discussion but I won't go into details about it. Secret ;)

Anyway, I complained about my weird headache. I told her about the pain I've been experiencing and mentioned it was not a regular headache. The pain was only at two specific locations. She asked me to do some tests: walk a straight line; checked my eyes; moved my hands/palms in certain movements; and, touched her index fingers using mine then touch the tip of my nose. Afterwards Dr. C said she doesn't believe it's brain tumor. Brain tumor?!?!?!?!?!?! What the heck?!?!?! I never even thought of that! My face probably turned white because Dr. C assured me it isn't brain tumor. She said my motor skills are all fine and I'm thinking straight. She told me not to worry about it. Her advice, take Advil or Tylenol if the headache happens again. God I hope it isn't anything serious because I'm not sure if I can handle any more bad news regarding my health.

I also asked Dr. C to check my calves. They have been problematic for a couple of months now. First was the swelling, then pain and now itchiness. My calves have been itchy. Initially I thought it was severe dry skin. I slathered them with tons of moisturizers and thick cream. It relieved the itchiness for a little while but it's not going away. Since the weekend I felt the itchiness going up almost to the back of my knees. I knew it wasn't dry skin. It drove me up the wall. It turns out that it might be eczema or a mild allergy to something. Dr. C said I might be allergic to grass and asked that I refrain from gardening for now. She prescribed a cortizone cream. I hope that helps.

After that was the boring part - my disability forms. Yawn! At least it was over and done with. I'll submit those tomorrow.

That's it, there's nothing wrong with my noggin. :)
