So...here we are in April, and what an eventful past few days it's been.
Just days ago, I was planning on taking my girlfriend out of dodge for a few days, out of the city and into one of those beautiful romantic bed & breakfast places in Santa Barbara. That week I started having these weird health symptoms, namely terribly headaches and persistent nausea and vomiting. Nice, huh? So the morning we were about to get ready for this trip I've been anticipating for about a month, we instead went to the local emergency room to check it out. The nurse on-call went balls-nuts when she saw my blood pressure with was something that cheetahs have or something. They ended up admitting me, doing some fancy scans and it turns out I had a stroke. I'm 30 years old and I had a fucking stroke. I was admitted immediately. They stuck me with every needle they had and I had no less than 3 IV's before I left that joint.
It seems like everyone I knew visited and it was great. My blood pressure would rise here and there but only because my pals are so goddamn funny. Best of all was my Linds, who was there every day. She was so strong through this whole ordeal and I could not have made it through it without her. She is my angel. She is my light.
So, now I'm finally home and very happy to be. I had to call my doctor today because I for some reason had a fever and rash today. I've gotten my fever to come down but the Benadryl's not exactly saving my life.
To add a little insult to injury, I've recieved hundreds, literally hundreds of emails with attached viruses. What the fuck? Who hates me suddenly?
Anyway....I'm here. I'm doing okay. And I plan to stay around for a very long time.
