It’s my latest excuse, and seems to work for just about anything.

But on a slightly more serious note, I am of course, not allowed to drive for the next 6 months, due to state law.

In honor of this, I purchased a monthly bus pass today.  It’s a fairly substantial hassle to get to the bus station, but, at least it is available.

People keep asking what it was like, but I really simply don’t remember, but I believe I was  somewhat conscious during it, but in a dream state.  Very hard to tell.  I can say that it was a tremendous neurological trauma and only recently have I truly felt “myself”.

Last night at church I gave a testimony, thanking God for timing.  With the wrong timing, I could have been dead several times due to the misdiagnosis I received indicating vertigo, for what I now know are auras or focused seizures.

See, what happens is, I get an aura typically, and if I’m not in enough mental faculty, it can slip out of control and spread to the rest of my brain, causing a grand mal seizure like what happened on Thursday.

So a drastic cutback on stimulants such as coffee and soft drinks is in order.  Not such a bad thing, but I don’t really care to have these things forced on me.

Still hoping to get some copies of the MRI showing the spot, not that I could really point it out, but it’s still a goal.

Sleep study starts next week to make sure I don’t have any sort of sleep disorder which could be causing issues.  How exciting!

In other news, our mutant goldfish is now over a foot long.  For those not in the know, his name is Hannibal, in honor of his ability to eat his tank mates.

More soon-
