It's bad enough I had to get up early but around 520 AM I woke up swearing someone was in the hall pretending to be a neighing horse. I couldn't imagine WHY. Later at breakfast several others had also been awakened Apparently it was a bunch of police/ambulance sirens that my brain decided were horses. But since I woke up so early I forgot my cane.

I needed it. I'm getting VERY worried at this point as the numbness is getting worse and worse with exertion and better the moment I stop which sounds like claudication, an interupption in blood flow. I'm not sure what is going on but it's starting to scare me.

The workshops today were very good, some I can use and some that fascinated me like the fact that I missed that we've used CRSPR to 'cure' sickle cell. We'd learned that some sufferers have no symptoms and others do. The non symptomatic ones have a second mutation that keeps them producing fetal hemoglobin which doesn't sickle. They're using CRSPR to induce that mutation.

Also Door Dash why didn't I do this last year?!? Yeah I can't use it at home (nor need to) but it's been a god send with this increasing leg pain which I can't hobble safely 3 blocks for food. But tonight was a reminder. Another prof heard me and a third prof talking about going for viet namese food but missed me learning it's a lunch only place. She ordered without looking at location (I've been paranoid about that) and had to download uber to go get it. I'm like CANCEL it because it's a far ride. Even if you don't get your money back buying a second meal would be cheaper than that uber ride.

And I have a little fannish 50 for you. Not a full fanfic rec post BUT close. here is my
