These Are A Few Of Her Favorite Things

When Mycah wants deep sleep, she retreats to the cabinet in my guest bathroom, or to my bed, or to a convenient pile of laundry.
When she wants to hang out, she is almost always laying within arm’s reach on the floor next to my Command Chair here at Geek Central.
Frequently, however, her favorite toy mousie beckons, conveniently close to her scratchables.

Her life is very tough.



Be sure to check out the Modulator’s Friday Ark.
And of course one must not overlook the Carnival of the Cats, to be hosted this Sunday at… uh… well, we’ll see.

Prospects

With the prospect of getting a diagnosis this week — assuming the MRI actually shows something — I’ve determined that there are some words I really do not want to hear from the doctor:
Amyotrophic.” That’d just plain suck.
“Inoperable.” No offense, Ian.
Hatch.” I consider this to be the least likely, despite a complete lack of evidence.
At this point, though, I’d just like to hear anything concrete. Once we know what’s going on, at least it will be treatable, to one degree or another. I’ve had it with the steroids; not knowing is making me crazy.



The saga so far:
3/17 — The State of the Russ
3/19 — MRI Complete
3/20 — No Results Yet
3/22 — Anticipation
3/24 — Still No News
3/27 — I Got Nothin’
3/30 — First MRI Results: Diagnosis Delayed
4/03 — Ouch
4/17 — Second MRI
4/21 — Second MRI Results, Sort Of
5/02 — Gratitude
5/07 — Mmmm… Brains….
