I’m Home, Getting Better, and Really Cranky
I was discharged from the neuro ward last Monday evening (appropriately, I guess, the date of my release coincided with Purple Day [for epilepsy awareness]).

At the same time, I feel it’s important to provide an update since lots … Continue reading What’s Been Happening (ICU, Etc.)
Sunday Night in the ER
I'll start with a disclaimer: for obvious reasons, my memories of the event that's the topic of this post are kind of spotty, so I'm relying on witnesses (i.e., my husband) for much of what makes up the following. We're going to have to go ahead and assume that I wasn't being trolled when the … Continue reading Sunday Night in the ER
