Getting my head examined !

Leap year ! the shortest month of the year has an extra day every 4 years. So it has to be a special day for many people.

I am going to see the opera "The enchanted garden" on Saturday at the Cineplex broadcast encor from the metropolitan Opera. then for a head MRI on Sunday. Should be na interesting weekend !

Metropolitan Opera- Verdi "Ernani"

My friends are back from California. Not so lonely anymore!

Went to see "Ernani"(opera by G.Verdi) at the cineplex theater today live in HD from the Metropolitan Opera in NYC. It was great! the best I think all year. I feel so privileged to be able to see these great performances from the "Met" at such a reasonable price.

Home Alone ! Missed going to California

I am home alone this week. I am waiting for the doctors office to call about an appointment for a MRI imaging of my head.

I was suppose to go to San Diego and Palm Springs with my friends but had to stay home. they sent photos also ad I am jealous! The photos are the next best thing to see what I missed :(

Gotterdammerung

I am going to see the Met's production of Wagner's Gotterdammerung live in HD tomorrow at the Cineplex theater. I am very excited about it it is the final installment of "The Ring Cycle".

WOW !

Vaccine for Shingles

I got a shingles vaccination today. I hope it keeps me safe. the thought of a major skin problem is not a good one after the year of eczema that i have recovered from. This vaccine is recomended for people over 60 who had chickenpox in the past. It was expensive and not covered by my insurance.

Emergency room

I’m having a problem using my left hand since Wednesday( like last year with my right hand )- I am improving slowly
I called the doctor this morning (Monday) .. I went to the St. Joseph emergency room today as My doctor told me to go there. I went there at 10 am in the morning and was there all day untill 8 pm this evening. they did blood tests, EKG, chest xray, sonogram of my neck , and cat scan of my head. I had no food all day except half a peanut butter sandwich for breakfast. They are referring me to the neurologist. all the tests were good-ok. no signs of stroke. I guess I am going to be ok CT scan was good

I made the appointment for the neurologist for Feb 9 th I think that by the time I get there things will be back to normal.

Its Friday Feb 3 and I have been extra tired this week must be because i got my hair cut.

I am growing a goatee now too.
