( Hands/wrists )
Since it's February, I have to do the long term disability review to deal with. It's anxiety provoking and otherwise challenging. My brain's not working linearly, and I'm not sure I'm writing the right things in the right places. I'm not sure what I'll do with the bits that I have to sign. Right now, I can't possible manage that. Well, maybe with my left hand? I can sort of print with that hand.
I saw a neurologist the last week of January. This visit confirmed that whatever the hell is going on with my hands/wrists, it's not carpal tunnel. The doctor I saw was a resident who spent a lot of time with me. My assumption is that there aren't many patients coming in for face to face appointments.
( A-Ride related stuff )
Cordelia had a choir concert last week. It was a big Zoom lecture set up and only ran about half an hour. Usually, the in person concerts run more than two hours, but each number in this concert represented many hours of work by the instructors to combine the audio recordings made by individual students.
(I think there are also copyright/performance and student privacy issues that are still being worked out about this sort of concert, issues that differ from what a high school choir doing an ephemeral performance would usually need to consider.)
Cordelia has auditioned for and gotten a solo for an upcoming Blues piece. It's not the solo she wanted most, but she's thrilled to have gotten one at all.
I haven't heard anything further from my mother about her prognosis or treatment options. I also haven't talked to her about anything beyond making sure she had the link for Cordelia's concert. I want to know what's going on, but I don't want to push too hard given that I can't offer help in any way that she would accept. Even if I was physically up to travel and such, I don't have the necessary i.d. for flying. I've been waiting to try to get a copy of my birth certificate because it doesn't feel important enough to ask somebody to commute to an office for that.
I suppose that, after a year, those offices must be functioning to some extent because people are still being born, dying, marrying, and divorcing, but... It seems like trying to get my birth certificate ought to be low priority since it's not really safe to fly right now anyway.
