the latest...

i am officially going to be cracked open like an egg. well, kinda.

after a few days of dizziness, my GP had me change doctors. the new doctor is concerned with the fact that i'm showing signs of speech issues. he used a big word, but i can't remember it. so in roughly six weeks, they're going to make a small incision behind my ear and put a laser into my head.

why so far off? because i'm trying to maintain as much of my life as i can right now. and that means going to work every day. i'm trying to work a lot of overtime so that i can (hopefully) put aside half a month worth of expenses - just in case.

no, i haven't told Alex. i know he's noticed that i have a harder time expressing myself. but he's a child. he doesn't need to be the one to worry about me.

the procedure itself is outpatient. i won't have to take my hair out. the doctor says that wearing glasses may be a little uncomfortable for a while after. they don't foresee having to install a stint. he says it appears that the rupture caused some damage to the part of my brain that affects my speech, and it may repair itself. i'm not having too many issues with motor function, but the fact that my speech seems to be a little touch-and-go is becoming an issue at work (where i spend a large portion of my day either in meetings or on the phone).

people keep asking me what they can do. really, i'm fine. i have to be. i'm not worried. i'm not panicking. i'm oddly calm. i'm sure that will change, but for now, things are things.

i set up a Pinterest board (Get-Better Gifts) for the people who insist on doing something. realistically speaking, i will probably spend much of the weekend after the procedure in bed or on couch, depending on my furniture situation. i'm going to try and keep things as "normal" as possible. i'm not trying to end up a drooling, incompetent mess.

a friend went down to Wizard World. he took my SG graphic novel and had the girls sign it. and then miss Porphyria, sweet pea that she is, sent him back with her cover. 1 - if you learn anything about me, know that i love gifts. making them and giving them. 2 - for the most part i hate surprises; i get weepy. 3 - this totally triggered some happy tears. it seems like such a silly thing, but those are my favorite kinds. sweetest girls. thank you.

my art came today. i have a huge (to me, anyhow) poster for the Black Belles - who are amazing, by the way - of Lily Munster.



i need to get a frame for her, and decide where to put her in the apartment. my kitties come home this weekend - things are coming together...
