Up on the Hill....

A quick medical update for you and then on to some fun stuff.

I saw a neurologist on Tuesday. She spent almost an hour with me and I explained everything to her. She put me on steroids and gave me an order for an MRI. The steroids are making me very hungry all the time. I woke up twice last night for a snakc. I have the MRI scheduled on Saturday, not the ideal way to spend Valentine's Day, but I'll take it. From that, I go back to the neurologist on Tuesday. I'm fairly confident all will go well and I am happy that she is doing everything to check out all possibilities.

Today, I went to a House Budget Committee hearing on the Hill. Serveral representatives were there. One of the representatives, Gerry Connolly from Virginia's 11th District was there. I wrote a paper on his election last semester. Well I caught him on his way out from the meeting, explained who I was and told him about the paper I wrote. I asked if he would honor me with an interview for a class project this semester (we are supposed to interview 5 people about their jobs). He said he would love to, but only if he can read my papers. So that was exciting.

Valentine's Day is Saturday and a couple suspicious calls from Jake make me think he has something up his sleeve. I just don't know what yet. I'll keep you posted.

Over and out!
