Well, even though my city has a ridiculous cost of living, piss-poor bus system and irritating as hell garbage program, one thing that's really nice is that there are a bunch of inexpensive restaurants with good food. After my appointment, my mom and I went for lunch at a pub around the corner from the doctor who's big deal is that half of their menu is Indian (and the closest to actual Indian food as you can get in my city at that), but they also have good other food. The grilled cheese is real cheese, and not only did they let me sub my fries with the cream of mushroom soup without any extra charge, but it was a giant bowl of soup and was actually filling - it was clearly made from scratch, using real cream and fresh mushrooms - and I could only eat half of both before I was full. My mom got a chicken pot pie and salad (also no extra charge for the sub.), which would be neither hear nor there, but both our meals (and her soda) only came to $21.

On the health front; my second MRI came back inconclusive and the EEG I had done a few months ago was clean, but the doctor said that before I go under potentially unnecessary surgery, he's going to put me on a waiting list for a seasure clinic for a four or five day observation. I gather it'll be a while before I get in, but even though it's unlikely, he said it could potentialy be seasures that are causing everything else, including the (suspected, but all my doctors agree most likely) minor stroke I had a few months back. But I'm choosing to see the upside; no brain surgery in the near future! Weeeeeeeeeeeee!
