Send positive vibes to MentaQtip

I'll let him share, or not, any of the particulars, but I've just learned a little while ago that Joseph's wife is in the hospital. Sounds like she is doing alright, but I imagine good thoughts and well wishes would be a benefit.

Another prayer from me too.
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue, I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace. Where never lark, or even eagle flew. And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod, The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

Thanks guys. It was a scary experience. She was sitting at her computer and I noticed she wasn't responding to me like usual. She was just not all there and very slow to respond at all. I was getting more worried as I tried to communicate and then she just went into a grand mal seizure. I freaked and grabbed her and we went to the floor and I called 911 and they were there in just minutes to transport. Turns out she had been having tiny seizures for about five days.
Then while we are there they announce the has diabetes also. Then she starts having a gout attack.(and boy those are rough).
So we are home and she is sleeping when she can.
Have to say that the people at the Adventist Medical Center were awesome.

Again, thanks guys

Thanks guys. She is slowly recovering, what with very little energy, a very painful tongue with a big hole in it, dealing with finger pricks and insulin shots, and antiseizure meds that may be making her sluggish and shaky. She IS getting better.
After thirty one years I sure do love this woman, and it just gets better and better.

Thanks again all

Joseph

Yikes, sorry I missed this. I hope her recovery proceeds with dispatch. Big hole in her tongue?
