I'm home from work this morning, which is one reason I was working over the weekend, because I go to the rheumatologist today. We are supposed to talk about the test results, but I already know the results, which were negative for the causes he was looking, so hopefully the discussion will lead to something.

I have a list of questions and topics to discuss, beyond the tests. I don't know how many answers to expect from him, but some of the questions are his opinion of several books, which I may go look for after the appt.

There were only two black belts and me at Kempo last night, so I had lots of instruction. It's amazing how much I have forgotten in the week I was out. There's a test coming up and they are expecting that I will take it. I'm not ready now and have to go on travel for work most of this month, so I'm not going to be any more ready after a few weeks of no class to refresh my memory.

Part of my problem with remembering the techniques is that the names are in Japanese. I bought the ... guidebook for the style. It lists all the techniques, but only by Japanese name, no English name or description to go with them. I need to look into that more, so I have a cheat sheet.
