What are y'all up to?

Not scary, just the brain doesn’t function. I sing or play at our jam group when it’s my turn I just can’t do both together. Wish I could. Same if I try to play piano I can make some noise with the right and left hand that sounds kinda like music. I just can’t play with both hands at the same time.

Having free time, would love to watch something interesting. Any recommendations? Besides, I bought a streaming device (Firestick) recently but haven’t installed it yet. Fortunately found some tips here https://www.firesticktricks.com/kodi-live-tv-addons.html. Pay attention to this website if you use a streaming device too.

Just home from hospital today. Went in about noon Fri for headache that had lasted 9 days.

Had biopsy done on temporal artery this morning.
Results in a few days, but they suspect it’ll be negative and that I’m actually having “cluster headaches”.
Will pick up a bunch of new meds tomorrow, and will find out what to continue on after results come back.

Gonna go rest & pet the dog now…

Oh no, hate to hear that Dave.
Hope you’re feeling well soon, between that and the other thing. Thoughts & prayers for ya.

Sounds like a good plan :slightly_smiling_face: :dog2:

thanks all.

Made two trips to pharmacy for new pills. needed to get started on them and they only had one available this morning.
After second trip I spotted an old buddies/bandmate’s truck at his place & stopped in to say “hi”. Haven’t seen him in maybe 4-5 years and we live less than a mile apart. Had a great time catching up & talking music for a couple hours then I scooted home.

Got taxes about mostly done, just waiting on one document.

Headache is still there in the background, but much more tolerable than before, so taking it pretty easy. Did manage to play a bit of fiddle & sing a few on the guitar though today.

Settling in for a quiet, early evening…

update:

Had very bad morning to start, Might have overdone it a bit yesterday. Forced myself to go out to breakfast after being miserable here for a few hours and started feeling better after fresh air & eating.

Biopsy results in & show negative for what they thought the problem is. Have to go over them with Dr. yet , but then on to their next guess I suppose…

It will probably get worked out eventually. I’m just trying to be patient and hoping it stays outpatient.

Really bad morning again upon waking, but meds helped some after 3 hrs or so.

Had fire dept come & test house for fumes, CO, oxygen deprivation, etc. Result: 0 problems.
I just wanted to rule the house out as a possible cause…pretty old place.

Went for a blood draw, now waiting on hearing from several Drs about test results & hopefully formulating some kind of plan moving forward.
