I think it's time to become extra maternal and show up with a hatpin. Lance that abscess. You can do it from inside, "through the tympanum", for minimal cosmetic downside ... or if you don't want to risk rearranging the transducing machinery ... the skull is so thin right there that any decently-tempered hatpin would do the job with a minimum of muss and fuss. Might wanna use a depth stop though.

<<<and asking for juice in a weak voice.>>> I can understand that. Being strong makes a person weak. Matter of fact, you might reasonably skip the strong part.

Go, Ammo. And, hey, we don't have to be strong with mom. Unless she is sick, of course. Well, the MRI was a snap. It didn't heat the ink and I almost fell asleep in there. But then there was the EMG. The first part is kinda cool. They give you shocks and your arm/hand leap about and you can watch the squiggly lines on the screen. But then they stick needles in you. She'd told me they'd poke me, so I'm thinking "no problem". Nope, they stick 'em in and make you push against them, making them dig in deeper. There are at least 3 nerves that aren't up to snuff and she wants to do a complete neurological exam. She said she found things that would be unrelated to the disc problem (which I'll know about next Friday). Really, from her mutterings with the helper, not much works right in the arm. Some just works worse than other things. I have no idea what all that would mean in terms of treatment, but I'll quiz the doctor next Friday and, of course, we'll know more after the complete workup. It's a perfect autumn day here.
