Yesterday was my six-month neurology check-up with Dr. Aziz. It was pretty uneventful, but uneventful is good! He said everything sounds fine and that is always great to hear. I asked him when my next MRI would be, and he said he doesn't go by a schedule but by how I am feeling and whether or not if things are changing -- if I want to get an MRI he would schedule for one to be done, or if he thinks one needed to be done. So that is nice, no unnecessary tests to be performed nor being subject to a generic timeline of what needs to be done and when.

I scheduled my next appointment for 4/10/08. I did ask Dr. Aziz if he wouldn't mind giving a recommendation for a neurologist once we knew where we will be moving. So, once Casey's Match Day (3/20/08) has come and gone and we know where we will be off to next, I will give Dr. Aziz a call so he can look into recommendations. It will be sad to change doctors because I have been happy with Dr. Aziz, but I am sure he will give a good recommendation. If not, I can always find a different neurologist.

Casey & I are now going to start packing for our trip back to the west coast for Christmas. Our flight is scheduled to leave Syracuse at 6:25 a.m. on Friday, 12/21/07 and we arrive in Seattle at about 11 a.m. Friday will be a long day for us! Fortunatly, we don't have to leave until the morning of Friday, 1/4/08. It will be a nice long break away from Syracuse along with the snow & cold. It is always hard to leave WA, but it is always nice to come back to our pets and our space.

We're almost done with this piece of the adventure and will soon be off to the next part of the adventure (and one of us will have transformed into a Doctor!)....
