So I don'f recommend the movie "Cedar Rapids". Partly because it wasn't very good, and partly because I was watching it when I had my last seizure this past Wednesday night. I'm not saying there is a direct causal link there... I'm just saying I don't know that there isn't. My wife/person-who-keeps-me-alive noticed my behaviour was a bit off and asked me to look her in the eyes. My eyes were moving a lot and I was blinking at an abnormal rate. She took this opportunity to call 9-1-1, and thus the paramedics out to the apartment. I don't remember this part but word has it I continued to seize and eventually was placed in a medically induced coma (which explains how it became Thursday without my knowledge). I also got to enjoy having a tube inserted in my throat... again (a process called intubation, which feels way less enjoyable then it sounds).
I'm going to keep this update short as I only got out of the hospital yesterday and still don't feel 100%... and these massive bruises on my arms/wrists don't make it easy to type. Among the highlights were "trying to leave the hospital" and the doctor telling my family "there was nothing they could do for me" (Note my typing this implies I am still very much alive). I shall provide more details in time. Until then just know that I am at home, recovering well and do not plan to return to any hospital(s) any time soon. Cheers!
