Well we finally have a verdict on the hand/arm situation.
It's cubital tunnel syndrome, better known as "entrapment of the ulnar nerve in the elbow" syndrome. The solution: surgery which will move my nerve over. How excited am I?
The experience at the neurologist was a grand one. It was great fun being hooked up to electrodes and needles. Huzzah for that. Something which I will forever treasure.
Yet, I had a crazy time with my friends tonight. My friend Lisa mentioned that she once knew someone who put root beer and Mentos in his mouth and it foamed so much he had foam coming out of his nose. So, we (me, her and Jon) decided to try it. We went to Big Lots and got the root beer that in a longneck bottle...then we went over to the gas station and got some Mentos. We sat in the parking lot of the gas station and tried the experiment. Mine didn't really foam that much - it was really kind of a disappointment. BUT, it WAS hilarious watching Lisa spew her root beer all over the ground because she was laughing so hard. I thought we were going to get in trouble and the police would come and we'd have to explain to them that it was merely root beer and Mentos and they would think we were nuts. (not that they would be wrong...) heh. Good times.
Oh, and by the way - less than a week until Sr. Mary Emily comes!! YAY!!!! :)
Something which I forgot to mention in previous post:
My brother left a CD in my mom's car, which I was driving - so I started skipping through the songs to see what songs were on the CD. Yeah...track #3: "Can't Touch This" by M.C. Hammer. I almost died laughing. We also had "Whoomp! There It Is!" going on too.
What is going on? My nirvana-loving brother and old school rap? HAHAHA!! Now THAT is quality.
Alas, I depart.
Pax et veritas....allelu!
