  August 25th, 2025 Brain MRI Completed & Machine Didn’t Explode I’m feeling a bit “Squiffy”!? Do you ever feel “Squiffy”? Are you full of poop or fertilizing your flowers? This is the best photo-op I can give at this time.🤣😂 We were relieved that I had been able to go for my MRI brain scan.  Especially after having been really sick.🤢   The bucket in tow (on the walker seat) in case it’s needed.  I have learned to master some amazing skills on this journey.  Also, I had some prior practice the first time I went through breast cancer in 2012-2013.   August 29, 2025 Learning to Speak Again, Gaining Some Vision Back and Brain MRI Scan done!  Now we are just waiting for the results.   Some days I feel like I am taking a foreign language test, as I continue to look for the word patterns.  At times, it’s words that rhyme that I substitute a wrong word when speaking and or writing.  Other times it’s words that I don’t use as frequently a...
