I went to my MRI and follow-up doctor appointment. I'm not sure what I was thinking when I scheduled the MRI for 7:30 in the morning. I must have forgotten that patients are always asked to show up 30 minutes prior to the procedure. Yes, I was at the hospital in Denver on time. I deserve a star for the effort.
When I saw Dr. Damek we went through our usual conversations and tests. One item I found interesting was our discussion about being American and not taking vacations or time off during the day for doctor visits. I don't know why that caught my attention, unless I realized I was that girl who never went to the doctor. We also discussed my MRI results which came back good. Minus the surgery and the thumb print left from radiation, you would never know I had been sick. I'm still taking naps everyday meaning I will need more time to recover. This is frustrating of course since it will stop me from finding a job in the short term. Or maybe I'll get lucky and find a company founded by people from Spain who believe in naps during the middle of the day. It could happen, right?
I continue to reflect on all of the things I'm grateful for. Hot showers, clean sheets, clean clothes, needing haircuts :-) , friends, birthdays, animals, farms (not the funny farm Ralph), being allowed to drive, and the word "YAHOO".

You know, I don't think naps are necessarily a bad sign. I take 'em when I work at home.
I don't think our ape brains are evolved for an 8-hours-asleep/16-hours-awake cycle. A little downtime in the afternoon can be very refreshing and sharpen you up for the rest of the day.
