Flying twice in one day?
check
Having needles repeatedly stuck in me?
check
Spending a day away from my family?
check again :(
It never occurred to me to create a list of crappy things to do in a day, but here we are :)
Electromyography is the practice of jamming two needles in someone, shooting electricity between the two, and seeing what happens
It can be used by doctors to check for conditions such as congenital myasthenic syndrome (misnomer as the disease family does have adult onset phenotypes) and periodic paralysis. While there are plenty of electromyographs (the machine used in EMG) throughout the country, only a handful of physicians are trained to produce some of the more complicated electromyograms (the data we get at the end). This scarcity is the reason I must travel to Arizona to have the testing completed
Should be nice weather in Phoenix, and the EMG being completed may well help many members of my extended family. I will have about 10 hours of waiting to do in a city I have only visited a couple of times. New foods will be tried, new sights will be seen, and new books will be read. There will be plenty of discomfort, but even more time to relax and enjoy the world
If things get too bad, I'll just start fantasizing about how fun it will be opening one thousand booster packs in Rising Star Game on the first of the month ;)
Y'all have good
