da zimdog goes (... flies kite...)

The other day, I did something I haven't done in years & years... (... more than a decade...).


If you can't see it in detail, it's Griffin's Lightning McQueen kite. (I think I enjoyed it more than he did.) I must've flown it for nearly two hours....

Today, it wasn't windy enough to fly a kite, so Griffin just jumped in a puddle.


I'm so proud of his dadaist nature....

the last medical update...?

So...,
Patricia Tison's CT scan came back with results normal....

In other medical news...,
I've been eating the prescribed breakfast cereal each morning & like the flavor... (... so I decided to share the recipe...).



... & another interesting doc-ument... (... hyuck, hyuck...).


Bon voyage!

another day of medicine

Today, I ventured farther into the world of modern medicine....

I established a relationship with a naturopathic doctor. His suspicion is that my GI tract is asking for more fiber... (... so he prescribed me some probiotics & a particular cereal recipe for my breakfasts...).

After leaving the doctor's office, I went down the road for a CAT scan. (What a strange sensation... (... feeling the warmth of that contrast solution in my body...)!)

When the CT was finished, the male nurse said I could remove the wristband from my wrist. I didn't think much of it at the time... (... replying that I thought I was going to get blood drawn as well...).

Later in the day---(while washing my hands)---I decided I didn't need to wear the wristband any longer, so I ripped it off... (... & by chance, checked the name on it...).

So, I say to you, Patricia Tison---(wherever you are out there)---may the results of your CAT scan show a healthy GI tract....

this blog post is so meta-



I went to see multiple doctors today. Lately, I've been having a weird, warm pressure in the left-side of my gut (& more recently, some nausea & closed sinuses). Today, I finally mustered the courage to go to Urgent Care... (... & begin the process of finding out what's goin' on inside me...).

Nothing conclusive from that visit yet... (... except for finally finishing Orwell's 1984 while waiting for the doctor... (... & the nurse... (... & then the doctor again...))).

After two hours at home (hangin' wit da G-dawg), I skated to an eye doctor appointment & got my eyes checked.... (That's right; 20/15 vision, suckas!!!!) Woot woot...!




Then---(later in the day)---I decided to blog about it....
