Family/Home Updates

A couple of you have asked how things have going since the Very Bad Luck post a month back. Fortunately, after a few hellish weeks in which Angie was not allowed to do any driving, the news has been largely good. We think the "seizures" Angie experienced (roughly 3 over three days, and nothing since) had to do with a medication she was taking combined with a vegal response to her IV and other pains. They haven't come back since she stopped taking the med and the tests she had to go through because of the seizures (EEG, MRI, Video EEG) all came back with normal results. (Never figured Angie as someone with normal brain function, but there you have it... yeah, I know. I'm one to talk.)

She was finally able to get her surgery done a couple weeks ago and that went well. They found what they expected to find -scar tissue and endomitriosis- and treated both successfully. Now it's just a matter of seeing what preventative measures can be taken to prevent the endo-whateva from coming back.

As for the house... we've been living on a concrete slab kitchen and laundry room for a month. A couple weeks ago a massive wind storm took out two sections of our wood privacy fence. So, you know: Fun! Fortunately, the cost for repair wasn't nearly as bad as I feared. And as I type this the last of out new tile floor is being laid into place. It'll be grouted tomorrow and by this weekend life should return to some semblance of normal. Hurray for that! I could do with some quiet, boring normalcy around here.
