O.k. guys, this will be my quick summary over what has got over the last six weeks.  As you will see, I will also being doing my 'writing' practices as you will soon see.

Oct 8th Saturday:
I spend GeekGirlCon day, coinciding using my first use for my Orca bus card to and from there.  As most everyone knows, I carry too much stuff with my class homework.  I got home, got dinner stuff, etc,  and then I got another migraine in the evening.  I think I've had an migraine this last spring, and then another in August, and while this has been unusual but not unknown, this time, I could only say either 'no' or 'maybe'.

Oct 9th Sunday:
So I took my migraine med and went to bed, but in the morning, I had another migraine and it wouldn't work at all.  So, we were at the VCM ER by 11:00.  We wound up admission me that late afternoon.  Keep in mind that on a rate of 0 to 10 pain, my pain always only 1 to 2.  There was a CT and a noncontrast MRI  which initially ruled out a stroke, but thought it might be viral encephalitis or a solid tumor.
 
D. told my co-teacher that I wouldn't be in on Monday.  D is typically not very detailed any way.  ;-)

They made me wake up every 4 hours during the night.  I was not very happy that Sun/Mon night and I told them that I would not permit them to continue for the other nights.  Of course, I wound up waking myself up.  A hospital is an awful place to try to get rest.  

Oct 10th Monday:
Waiting for MRI results.  My speech is a little better, but still not good yet.   Dr. Pri. & his aide M, are both good and are willing to explain things to me.  They ruled out the viral encephalitis  but put back the possible stroke or a solid tumor.

Oct 11th Tuesday:
EEG (no glue) for 1 hour; no problems.  But it included a strobe session at the end, which I have always have avoided since my 2nd migraine in 1977.  My headache is down to about 0.5 level (on 0 to 10 rate).  I really still don't talk much, but I AM ALWAYS THINK A LOT.  I am still not getting any rest and this is a sucky place to spend time.






 

 

A new episode...

Well, it looks like I am in the process of closing one chapter in my life and opening a new one.  It also looks like I want & need to practice getting my thoughts out into my head and out to both onto paper and verbal.  This will be interesting.  Anyone who is following may use it as insight into how my progress is coming (or not).

Forewarning:  I don't know what is coming.  I'm using this for my own use and I don't plan on auditing it for any other reader.  You have been warning.
