Are we experiencing a transient ischemic attack (TIA), a.k.a. mini-stroke?
Time to find out, with Harriet driving,
entering the Emergency Room of Vaca Valley Hospital.
Takes a while,
but eventually
many tests are undertaken,
as we certainly don't want to deal w/ undertakers!
The major one is a
progression
down the halls
to a
Computed Temography scan (CT or CAT).
A lengthy linger -- nothing substantive comes out of examination -- diagnosis of distracted concentration (is this a nice way of saying it's all in the head?) -- so what else may transpire down the road of mortality?...
How about checking in w/ someone who knows what's up? But impossible to get a timely appointment at the Northbay Center for Primary Care -- feeling abandoned by the lack of time slots...
The only therapy, it seems, is to keep working -- designing cover for
The Decameron: Sixth Day, Op. 257 (2016) and
establishing a page for it on the Complete Works site,
additionally editing page 30
Harp Concerto ("Ballerina"), Op. 123 (2004)
I. Allegro giusto
and
textually updating
Book of Dreams, 2022, Op. 376 (2022)
