I'm turning 35 tomorrow. 11:58 PM. Which means I tend to extend the celebration into April 7th, since it was so close to midnight and they were busy keeping me alive with the "extreme pre-term" deal ( Read more... )

I knew there was another reason to take that Klonopin besides extra seizure prevention. I don't want to have a depressive episode on top of a pain flare on top of a possible seizure aura. Tomorrow is my birthday! Tomorrow marks the 33rd anniversary of me having survived! I need to be happy! I will be happy. I must be happy. No crying. It says so in ( Read more... )

Last night, when Adam returned from New York City, he brought home not only two pizzas and a hat from Patzeria's, but two boxes of Chocolates By Steve Evetts from the gift shop of the New York Marriott Marqui. As my friend W. pointed out, these are not chocolates but high end confectioneries ( Read more... )
