Join Waukesha resident Brien Lee and his blog, Sir Fido, as they explore the city and report on the interesting things they find.
My first ever CAT scan went well Tuesday. The most elaborate, high tech machine I've laid eyes upon took 16 images per second - of my eyes. It was remarkably easy for me. I basically laid down in my street clothes on a narrow, movable table which advanced my head into a large white donut-shaped device. There were interesting sounds and spinning things but no bright lights, even though the warmth on my eyes felt like it.
After maybe five minutes in the machine without it, I was injected with a clear dye for better imaging, which also made me feel warm. Another five minutes in the machine. It all was actually pretty relaxing.
Fortunately the tests were negative but am still taking eye drops for an infection. As I suspected, the drops prevented me from donating at Tim's blood drive Saturday.
On another matter... I'm too self-conscious. I've tried to limit my insignificant or inconsequential bloggings knowing that many people I know have access to them via the internet or Waukesha Marketplace. My feeling is that putting too much thought into blog posts takes away from the natural appeal of writing. It's still fun for me though.
This weekend I thought I read that the paper that prints WaukeshaNOW blogs will soon be distributed inside Journal Sentinels on Thursdays. I was starting to feel self-conscious just thinking about it (and hoping they'd finally get my blog title correct), then I read the front page of Sunday's paper. For some reason Waukesha is not one of the 26 communities listed to receive the free weekly. We'll wait and see.
* * If you're reading this in "Marketplace" I encourage you to check out WaukeshaNOW online. One of my favorite features of blogging is the web links often found in the posts but not in the paper.
