Wednesday, 7 January 2015

Last night, the wind was blowing very hard in the evening. By morning, however, when I got up very early and went out for my 45-minute walk, there was a dead calm. Later in the day, though, the wind came back and along with it a dust storm. The forecasts refer to it as a "sand storm", but it's really dust, not sand.

I taught 6 units of Berlitz lessons today (down from the 12 that were scheduled for today at the beginning of the week): 9:00-10:30, 10:30-12:00, and 2:30-4:00.

For lunch, I drove down to Rachel to pick up food to bring home. While I was in that neighborhood (and while they were preparing the food), I walked over to the hospital and picked up the report from David's CT scan, together with the CD. At that point, it was mostly sunny with a cold breeze, but not dusty and not a really strong wind. That came later in the afternoon.

The report from David's CT scan doesn't look so good. Of course it's in Hebrew, but I think I've fairly well translated the summary. It talks about brain and cerebellum atrophy, about results consistent with a vascular event, and about a sub-severe blockage somewhere. They recommend an MRI to further check on this. I made an appointment with out family doctor for tomorrow. We'll most likely also need to see the neurologist (who ordered the scan), but I couldn't book an appointment with him online -- I'll probably need to go over to the Maccabi office sometime for that.
