You know it's cold when...

When you're turned away at the car wash at 6:00 p.m. because it's too cold to run the machinery.

In other news, had my yearly MRI for the acoustic neuroma. As usual, I came very close to falling asleep in the tube, and as usual, it took me a few minutes to feel alert enough to drive home afterwards. I had a new radiology tech who said I was unusually calm and quiet in the tube, and praised me for it. I guess a lot of her patients thrash and freak out, especially the elderly ones, so I was a pleasant change.

If there's anything to worry about, Dr. McKenna's office will contact me, but otherwise that's it until late this year or early next year....

And if you want to really freak yourself out...

Try Googling "MRI acoustic neuroma" and "images." One of the first ones they show looks like it's a good 4-5 centimeters, which is huge for these things, and pressing on the patient's cerebellum. Wow!

Only the discerning will not own this
