Staying healthy is the plan. The hardest thing I'm finding is losing weight. I can manage not to drink too much alcohol why can't I stop having eating
binges? I just ate far too many Maltesers this afternoon and that was after a lunch that I could have well done without. I've lost some weight working
in the garden but I'm back in academic mode starting next week. Let's hope riding the bike and walking between lectures will be enough exercise.

Oh I know that... it's why I stop buying sugary stuff. Just yesterday I was tempted into getting some chocolate waffles but I put them back, went home
with an apple.

My wife was given a gift of chocolates at work the other day. She's recently been diagnosed with diabetes, so I took one for the team. Then my son
turned up with the box of Maltesers and wouldn't eat them. I have at least done my best to not go out and buy that crap myself, but when it's there in
the fridge ...

...I understand...
We did get two boxes of Tofifee once, but that was so gross we only finished one. I've had Tofifee since, I don't know how I ate those knowing how
foul it is. I hate caramel.
You may have heard Mars is taking back a lot of candybars?

Still orbitting the sun at a speed of 24,077 km/s!
...
Anyway they found a mars bar with plastic in it in Germany. The factory is located in Veghel, not too far from where I live - they said that one
chocolate pipeline had been replaced and one of the caps hadn't been removed. The chance is low that you'd find any plastic in your bar, but the edges
could be sharp and could cause injuries.

Terrific news Aqua! Congratulations!!
I had my MRI-scan today. After I'd put on the special unflattering MRI-clothing, I was led to the bench into the machine, got a surgical cap on my
head, laid down with my head in a brace and shoulders against the brace, got a pillow under my legs and an emergency button in my hand. Then my face
was covered with a mask, with a little mirror in it so I could see out the tunnel, and headphones on. There was a radio in it, the assistant asked me
if I wanted to listen to it. I replied yes, so music was put on. Terrible music but after I was slid into the machine and the photos started, I
couldn't hear that anymore.
Man that's noisy! A lot of banging at all frequencies... at times so loud that the machine vibrated along. The nurse talked to me a few times if I was
still OK, and to warn for a particularly loud photo.
I had a session of 40 minutes, since I got two researches at once: one of my brain, one of my eye socket. It was so noisy my head hurts. I was very
dizzy coming out, still am.
And then I still had to fold papers. Luckily there were the newborn baby polar bears at the nearby zoo on the cover.

It's not the kind of MRI that they show on House, no. The doctors do talk a bit to you inbetween photos, the "how are you holding up?" and in one case
the note that the next photo would be very loud but only one minute long. Looking back I'm kinda proud I didn't panic too much but I definitely hope
that was my last MRI.
Head still hurts.

The neurologist said that my scans were clean, as in no infections or growths. She puts my pain down to muscle tension and now I get pain killers.
Which in higher doses are used as anti-depressants.

My doctor wanted to discuss pain relief for my arthritis, but I told him I wasn't interested.

One side effect of these meds is they blur your vision. Considering I went to the hospital because of blurred vision, I'm finding this a bit weird.

Very drowsy indeed. Today was the second time I slept around the clock.
