>> Writing to you from Boca Raton Community Hospital.
>>
>> As you might remember I was diagnosed with pneumonia last week. My fevers 
>> hovered at 103 for three days before they started to decrease. My mental 
>> status became increasingly altered, staring periods, double vision, 
>> hallucinations, etc.
>>
>> My supervising doc met us at the hospital Sunday evening, admitted me, and 
>> placed me in isolation.
>>
>> The pneumonia is resolving so isolation was stopped. MRI found a 1.5 cm 
>> acute hemorrhagic venous angioma in the left frontal lobe with a large 
>> feeder vein. AVM has been ruled out with MRA. I am now in the neuro unit 
>> (haha - I escaped to the library) receiving neuro checks q 4 h and resp tx q 
>> 6 h. I am on seizure precautions. One pupil is growing larger than the 
>> other. The dizziness is getting worse and I find myself walking on a slant. 
>> There's talk of starting me on Keprra (anti-seizure med), and transferring 
>> me to a neuro hospital for embolization/coil.
>>
>> I have no memory of last week. I have short term memory deficit and appear 
>> to be in a fog frequently. My husband visited me yesterday and started 
>> crying b/c he doesn't know what to do.
>>
>> So. . . . .any well wishes/prayers/thoughts/karma. . . .would be 
>> appreciated.
>> Please don't blow that last sentence out of proportion. I miss my home, my 
>> dogs, my life, my memory and just want to get better.
>>
>> Warmest regards,
>>
>> Linda
