The Furious Spinner

Hello Furious Spinner readers. This is Mario blogging. I am at the Kaiser Permanente facility in Portland, Oregon, waiting for the doctor to come tell me what's up with my lee-tul brain. Fortunately, Kaiser is a wired facility, so there is internet access in this teeny little room. Amazing, yes. (I don't think it's actually for patient use.) So far the doc has shined a light in my eyes, looked in my ears, made me do odd things with my hands and touch his finger, then my nose. We had a ball. He says he doesn't know what caused my loss of consciousness, so he has invoked that dreaded phrase: "Let's do some tests." Groan. That means coming back here tomorrow or the next day or whenever and having them pock and prod at me and such. Not that I'm complaining. Still. We would like to get going on this trip. Soon.

Kim has been in the room with me most of the time. The doc said my lapse of consciousness could have been due to many many things, so they are going to do a detection job on me to find out what it might be. I said, tell me something benign that it MIGHT be so we can convince ourselves that's all it is. He laughed. Sure, big joke. Although he did finally say that after they do the tests they might just find out that it's nothing and it will never happen again. Halleluja.

We've been here about 2 and a half hours. Doc's coming back.

Later.
