The Unravelings of a Looneyman

I am doing OKish. Woke up today with the worst headache since the hospital. It took until around 1 pm for it to calm down.

My exciting news is I got my update to my Bernina Artista Designer Plus Version 6!!!! So far I have had lots of fun playing with it. Bernina has out done themselves again. I will post more on it later after I have played with it more!!

On July 27th I came down with what appearred to be the flu. On the morning of the 28th I was running a 101.0 degree tempand had a major headache. That scared me enough to go to the Doctor on the 29th. I spent the next 2 weeks getting CAT scanned, MRI’ed, blood draws and visits to the Doctors office. During that 2 weeks I even had an emergency room visit.

Finally a spinal tap was proformed and it was discovered I have Viral Meningitis. There are 2 kinds of the Viral version. One that goes away with anti-viral meds and one that does not. The one that does goes away in 7 to 10 days. The version I have (the kind that does not go away with meds) takes upto 3 months to go away. And the whole time I get to have the headache.

I am currently at home on meds for the headaches and working on recovering. I have really good days and days that are not so great!! I am hoping that it will go away soon.

Will update everyone on how it is going.

And to top it off I have not been able to sew!!!!! I am hoping I can start sewing soon so I have something to do!!

Hello All,

It has been a long time since I posted!! Over a month!!

It has been an emotional month.  On July 10th I found out one of the 2 people I had completed my 2 Team in Training Marathons for died. He was only 8 years old and had spent the last 2 years fighting Lymphoma. It was a very large blow to me. I spent over a week bursting into tears. Was a very difficult time. About the time I was dealing better with that I started not feeling well.
