I had the energy!

Somehow the 4:20 to 4:50 nap worked. I called from 5:50 to 9:25 tonight with barely a break and made it through without an energy flag. We had four squares dancing all the all-skates, and always at least two for the other programs. We almost had three squares for C1, since some of the long-time lapsed C1 dancers are coming out of the woodwork.

Danny on the other hand is in VERY bad shape with something very flu-like. Combined with his massive headaches...he's a mess. And I don't know what to do about it.

Sympathies to Danny. I assume he's been to the doctor to check for things like sinus infection which might need antibiotics.

For an old guy, you've got lots of stamina. I wouldn't try to do what you do!

Danny's supposed to get the results of his MRI on Weds, although his doc is on vacation this week.

In true self-diagnosis, Danny's search of the web seems to have found an 'itis' that hits many people over 50. Some of the arteries going between the brain and skull develop an inflamation and it causes both your head to chronically hurt and your skin to become hypersensitive on the top. Those he has.

The treatment is aggressive prednizone over a period of time, which has its own issues.

Eek. Sounds really unpleasant, but if that's it, at least he will have some options.

It's interesting that many people are forced to the web to research their own medical problems, since the medical care system won't take the time to fully investigate if they can pass you off with Conventional Wisdom palliatives.
