So, I had my first of four (potentially five) diagnostic tests this month. This one was a Brain MRI. Basically, with my genetic disorder, there's a small but not insignificant chance of a brain tumor forming and I've been having balance issues that I can't completely chalk up to clumsiness. It's expensive as hell, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Also, quite the time to discover I hurt my back. Not only was I crammed into the machine for forty minutes, I also had to deal with lower back pain while trying to stay still. Not fun. Managed to get home, pop some NSAIDs and take an afternoon nap in the recliner. Was able to somewhat sleep it off!

On the work side, I managed to score an extra shift. It's short (only four hours), but long enough that I qualify for full commission on that day. I also have to go to a different store. All in all, an OK trade-off.
