Cyndi | January 23, 2010

Yesterday, I went in for the other tests.  They did a “Carotid Doppler Study,” and an ultrasound of my abdomen (primarily liver).    Of course, the tech said that she couldn’t tell me anything and that I would have to wait until everything was read by the Radiologist….which would take “a few days.”  So….i end up [...]

Cyndi | January 14, 2010

Ok…..My mom is hilarious!  First….she was just on the phone with Verizon Wireless, trying to activate a phone.  So, she asked my aunt to come in and take the back cover off of the phone so she could “see the ESPN number.”  Wow!  I think you meant SN number….as in “serial number.”  Hilarious.
Then, my daughter [...]
