I'm shrinking!

Friday 14th saw a visit to Dr Akhtar   at the Kaiser center.  His nursing assistant has vision problems and is very short - she was tasked with weighing and measuring me, which was a challenge.  According to her measurements, I'm down to 5'10" from 5'11".  Jean pointed out that the measure was dropping down every time I stood away from it.  Never mind, eh!  Ross always used to tell anyone who asked that he was 5'11", despite being at least 6'3" - yet another wonderfully pointless wind-up of his!

Anyway, the doctor couldn't really tell us much, he gave me a few prods and pokes, arranged for some lab work and a CT scan (more fasting and the drinking of iodine, whoopee!).  I asked about diet and he referred me to a dietician who I will see on Monday.

Not much else, but at least I felt we were doing something - the ultrasound probe can't come quick enough for me! Need to know how serious or otherwise this is!


Finn's birthday today - he's turning 13.  Cue the brave faces.
