planning for winter

View of the girls filling comb 7.45 this morning. Early autumn, they're busy planning for the winter.

My photo exhibition opens at Noel's Gallery tonight for a bit of fun:
Saltwater and Orchids (with thanks to Emma)

Neurologist visit last week - first in 2.5 months.
Nada. Rien. Fucking nothing.
No new ideas. No new plans.
Blood test. Another MRI in April.

Still experiencing TLE vague out most mornings within 10 minutes of waking - and the occasional other one, usually late afternoon. Much better than the half dozen or so I was having a year ago, and severity much less so. Now on 800mg of Tegretol a day in four 200mg controlled release capsules, two in the morning, two at night. No real side effects of the tegretol really, except that I'm conscious of looking stoned for the first half the day sometimes - an issue raised with the neuro. Not his department apparently.

Unless you're 'Category 1' and about to peg out in the next month these guys aren't in much of a hurry.

At the patient end the not knowing doesn't get a lot easier - whether this thing's growing at a critical rate or a matter of (how many?) years, answers are still key to a good night's sleep.

Key too is fun - and a night of guitars, sticking a few prints on canvas on the walls and surrounded by good friends and family oughta help through this week.

The invite is attached.
