I’ve not done
a lot of running since Chicago. I had to
take some time off—I don’t recover as quickly from these races as I used
to! Specifically, one of my knees was
feeling a little abused, so I did not run the Philadelphia Half Marathon last
weekend as originally planned. (I deferred
to next year.)
BUT I did
hit 1000 miles of running so far this year AND I ran the Madison, CT Turkey Trot
on Thanksgiving with Alec!
NF Update:
I’m a little
late for this year, but felt it was still helpful to post. Last month Face Equality International (https://faceequalityinternational.org/)
spent the days leading up to Halloween to remind people that facial disfigurement
is not evil or scary (I’ve written about this), and so should not be used in
costumes as such. Here is a nice recap
by Elizabeth Russo:
Jane Update:
Jane and I
return to NIH for her semi-annual check-up in a couple of weeks.
We recently
attempted to count how many MRIs Jane has had in her lifetime, and it’s not
easy to do.
If multiple MRIs done in one session/visit count as ONE,
Jane has had:
24 at NIH,
2 at Indiana University, and
8 at Yale New-Haven, for a
TOTAL 34 MRI sessions.
But almost every session includes
two or more MRIs. For example, on the
first day of our upcoming NIH visit, Jane has an hour-long full body MRI
followed by a more dedicated MRI of her face, sinus, ear, nose, and throat due
to the location of her biggest tumor.
The next morning she has a dedicated brain MRI. By our definition above, all that counts as
one MRI session. So Jane’s probably had
over 50 individual MRIs in her 15 year life.
I’ll report back on our trip next month.
