State of Health & Other Matters

I had a follow up at the doctor’s office (back lesion biopsy) and asked about Parkinson’s Disease. She enquired on why I hadn’t asked last Friday so I threw the girls under the bus and blamed them for the questions.

The bottom line is that I wasn’t displaying any specific symptoms. Trembling when attempting to do fine work is more symptomatic of aging; Parkinsons symptoms are trembling while at rest (while watching TV for instance). We agreed to keep watch for symptoms and discuss it in 6 months or a year or so.

I go back next Tuesday to get the stitch removed and she should have the biopsy back to tell if it was cancerous or not. She mentioned that I had apparently spent a lot of time in the sun and warned this may have to be repeated.

In other news, I got the rain gauge installed on Saturday, 2 days into the monsoon event and it shows the below as of today. A half an inch as of today (with another half an inch or an inch that I missed),

This is a view of the thunderclouds building during the afternoon all last week. It looks like the monsoons are gone, and we are back to clear, sunny weather, but the high temps are in the mid-80’s rather than the high 90’s.

This week we should get the drywall finished, with mudding, taping and texturizing done.
