The last few days have been spent trying to deal with the pain and especially trying to find out what's causing that pain. I got a brain MRI done wednesday morning and that wasn't really the most relaxing experience of my life... It's incredibly noisy, like being in a night-club with bad techno music... And there is definitely a reason why they ask you if you're claustrophobic or not: you're in a tube with the walls like 2 cm away from your nose... for about 50 minutes.
Anyway, this is done and it seems that everything looks ok from the brain perspective. I thought it would have made more sense to do a spine MRI but doctors here are following a logic that I don't really understand. The only thing I'm sure about is that I still don't know what's going on and what should be done. And obviously I'm still in freaking pain, have difficulties to rest and focus on my work. I'm seriously considering flying back to Switzerland for a week or two and have this taken care of overthere. So to make it short, I'm giving the neurologist here another month and after that I'm gone.
And I'm leaving for the week-end too, but to a more tropical destination. Cyril and I are heading to the ocean, somewhere South of Atlanta. I wasn't really enthusiastic about leaving for the week-end, given that I'm late on a bunch of stuff, but eventually got convinced that it was the right thing to do. So it's gonna be surf for Cyril and reading and relaxing on the beach for Olive. I can't wait for the time I'll be able to stand up on the board too... Happy Labor Day week-end to all of you!
