Friday at Noon. One last appointment (a Lumbar Puncture), and we are done for the week. We plan on driving back to Kentucky tommorow, probably spending the night half-way (but we shall see how I am feeling--maybe we can drive straight through).
I am at a good place to access the progress of the week.
Monday we saw the internist and did the usual blood and urine work ups. I also had a chest x-ray.
On Wednesday, I saw the neurologist, who ordered more tests (more blood and urine and an MRI of my head). The nuerologist also referred me to a neuro-opthamoloogist. The neurologist's working hypothesis seems to be that I may have sarcoidosis.
On Thursday, I saw the infectious disease doc, who ordered more tests, including a lumbar puncture. His working hypothesis is that I have a fungal infection.
Thursday was also the day I did the MRI and the second round of blood and urine tests.
Today (Friday) I tried to get into see the neuro-opthamalogist in the a.m. (I arrived at 6:45 a.m.), but no luck so far. If I have not gotten in by early afternoon it will have to wait until my return to Mayo next week.

It sounds like you are making some progress now. I hope you got in to see the neuro-opthalmologist this afternoon, and I pray that you will have a safe trip back to Louisville--and a somewhat restful week at home, without waiting rooms, pokings or proddings!

Weight loss: A year or so ago when you were promoting we all lose weight I stumbled into a computer program I wonder if you've used -- Fit Day.
It can act as your disciplinarian, guilt giver and instructor. It stores 85% of what we all eat. I tracked my daily consumption in a small address book and scored myself each evening against my goal.
Things I kind of knew I should avoid racked up the calories and destroyed my numbers. Quietly I changed three or four habits and nobody was involved but me and the computer.
When all else fails . . .
Hope you have a safe trip home; it's a long drive.
