I'm on vacation so I am reading emails intermittently, but I would like to
suggest that all of us focus our thoughts, spirits, mantras, chants or
prayers on Linda Marie at 11:00 AM on Friday.  Let us take a moment as a
community to support her with our positive thoughts , support, mantras,
chants, beliefs or prayers.  1 minute at the 11:00 AM hour.  I know all of
us are not in the same time zone, so we have options.  All can do it at 11
AM eastern or we can start at 11 AM eastern, and if people who live in the
central time zone chose to do so at 11AM central, those of us on the east
coast can stop at noon, for example, and commit a minute to Linda Marie.  4
minutes, one on the hour to send our communal positive thoughts, support,
mantras, chants, prayers to one of our fellow friends. . . .

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
