One week from MRI appointment and address woes

So not much to report other than I have my MRI appointment scheduled for next week. I took my last steroid 1/2 pill today, and hopefully the brain tumors are reduced enough to not need to undergo a gamma knife surgery. It would be amazing to know my brain is able to do its thing adrenalin-wise and I won't need to rely on these pills anymore.

I'm able to walk from the bedroom to the living room while bracing myself on the walls or pushing my wheelchair which is a big improvement and hopefully will keep being better, - my right side seems pretty normal, but my left side is a bit out of control (floppy) relatively speaking. Trying to play my acoustic guitar is funny all in all. My question that won't be answered for months is, will I play like I used to or have to relearn how to play all over. Seems like my right side is almost there...

At least my disability stuff is getting sorted out. I was worried they needed more info and or proof of my change of address to get my march check, but they called and my account manager had entered the address incorrectly from the address update we faxed in. Thank goodness she caught that and isn't going to make me jump through more hoops to get a check out. If you've read earlier installments, you know the payments have been a real source of anxiety at times in the past. Of course until we actually get the march check its not very helpful, but I trust they'll get a check to me.the fact they can't do direct deposit is crazy, but I suppose they'd prefer to be late and not pay someone who might have passed...? That's my guess anyhow.

I wish that were the least of my worries - and that so many people weren't passing from cancer related or other illnesses. Just weird how the past month seems to have news on Facebook every other day. Maybe it's just that time of year, but make sure you tell your loved ones how much they mean to you - do it for me if you're not feeling it, let silly things go, and hug each other.
