A Busy, Anxious 48 Hours

The next two days are going to be busy for me. Wednesday I have to have one of those carpal tunnel tests done. It's called an EMG, and it is not fun. I've had one before (back in the late 80's/early 90's), and they are worse than the disease! They put a little electrical probe over various spots on the arm then send a small shock to see how the nerves in the arm respond. (I'd like to slap the doctor and say, "Is that a good enough response???" ) I'll get the results on Monday, hopefully from a different doctor than I saw the last time. I have spinal stenosis, but the doctor didn't want to address that until he got these results done. Then on Thursday I will do something I've never done before in my life: I'll appear before a judge. My Social Security Disability hearing is Thursday. I'm extremely anxious about that, needless to say. (Angry, too, but that's for another discussion.) I'll endure these two things, then reward myself with a concert this weekend.

Be calm in court. You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.

My attorney told me point blank to keep it simple and answer in as few words as possible. I think I'll write "yes or no" on my hands to remind me!
