I am safely home, if a bit more pained than usual. The EMG was the oddest test I've had thus far in my medical adventures. The nerves in my arm are still reactiing. But it was worth it: my subjective observations of loss of strength were confirmed scientifically. The culprit is nerve root compression, a result of the herniation of a disc in my neck many years ago. One more test is in the works after which the neurologist will discuss strategies for mediation.
For both of these out of town appointments I have been accomodated as an overnight guest by good friends in Ottawa so I could spread the driving over a couple of days. I am fortunate to have wonderful friends who take good care of me.
Upon my return I discovered a gift from my son (I love the card, sweetie!) and a living room window that had been broken. The screen was toast as well, since the impact came from the outside. Luckily my cuddly little Dixie had not escaped. Likewise no wildlife had made an entry.
The privacy film I had installed lived up to the claims on the packaging: the shards of glass were prevented from blasting all over the room. Just a smattering of those annoying tiny pieces to take care of immediately.
A very odd piece of mail was at Mailboxes, too. But that will wait till tomorrow.
