Flutterbies!

Yesterday we went to a nature museum. I went with Wills and some other friends... they need names... Sir Cats A Lot will be one aaaaaaaaaand City Girl another. I am sure Sir Cats A Lot will be shortened to simply Cats. She is also not a boy so where the Sir came from I can't really say.

Not only did we see lots of awesome nature things AND hang out in a butterfly garden but we went to an awesome Turkish restaurant. Now if any of you know me you know I am picky. I eat like a five year old and I am ok with that. Still, when the food looks like this and the restaurant is this comfy... You can't really help but be impressed.



The waiter was also super cute. I thought about asking him to snuggle up in those pillows with me and take a nap but I was told that was inappropriate.

At this all women's gathering we were discussing food cravings and I promised to link to what you really want when you are craving certain foods. I figure all of you guys might like it too, so here it is. Basically, I need more calcium.

In IIH news the day was pretty much a success. I started to feel rather tired at the end, but I am also a lazy ass who never leave my house so that could play a large role in the problem. No headaches to speak of. I was a little nervous as this was the first time I had ventured out into the hustle and bustle of the city without the Hubsters along since my diagnosis but it all went off without a hitch.

Today not so much. Cloudy and gross and that's kind of how I feel inside. Mostly my neck region. Also I am very tired. Same old, same old.

Also, I do feel much better about my MRI fears. Look at this person. Their nose appears to be a totally normal size!

Sciency.

I feel like it is time for a sciency post but the problem with this is that I cannot think of another sciency topic to post about.

Let me think.

I am still thinking.

While I think I want you to look at this... Now what this is is a GIF of some dude with some form of hydrocephalus. That pulsing is his CSF and it's pulsing in time with his heart. Great, grand, whatever. I don't know why this is happening to this poor man. I hope he is better now.

What I do know is he has an incredibly large nose. This picture is on the CSF Wikipedia page and I always become mesmerized by the size of his nose. I have never SEEN a schnoz as large as that. It is nearly inhuman.

Then I start to wonder. Maybe all noses look big on MRIs. Maybe my MRI makes my nose look huge. I think this question needs to go on the list...

Dr. Awesome, does that MRI make my nose look big?

Tonight I hung out with the Willsters, lovely. Tomorrow I go into the city with the girls. I am slightly afraid I will get a debilitating headache and be SOL. I think I might need to come up with a headache plan. We will discuss on the drive up.

There is nothing sciency in this blog post. Deal.
