Default back home and back in the hospital

So I am going to be in the hospital for the next 2-5 days being monitored for seizures
and they have me tethered to the wall by a bunch of wires.
no showers, cant leave the room, constant video monitoring.
and the contacts itch like hell.

hopefully they will have good news for me.

Man that sucks! I'm sorry to hear that your biking has been paused/interrupted by this. I've read some of ur blog and man do I not have the balls to do what u do on a bike!
All I have to say is....
I just don't have the strength or stamina either physically or mentally to pull that off.

Get better!

thanks hun

no kidding.
just found out they have a stationary bike somewhere on this floor. I am going to try to see if they will bring it to me.

i have had to sit in the room under the camera. so I am sure you all can imagine the cabin fever setting in.
the electrodes are still glued to my head, and they itch.
basically i have to wait to have a few seizures where they can see them

Dude-- Lame!! But yeah, you definitely rock the wires.

I'm sorry to hear you're going through this again. I hope something conclusive comes of being monitored 24/7 though! Good luck. You're in my thoughts.

Wow I can't imagine what you're going through with the cabin fever.. I'd be going insane. I hope they let you use the bike... they might think it would ruin the test results though Good luck with everything!

So being hospitalized is for them trying to figure out a solution, not because of a new emergency?

Hope they can figure something out!!

The shitty part is being randomly sick - you simply don't know shit, and it just keeps coming outta the blue...

On the bright side, they only have wires on your skull - I'm sure they've got a rig that has wires out the wazoo, too!

Hey dude - looks like shitty situation, but as usual you have the right positive attitude. You'll overcome it, and be out having beers in no time.

How did I miss this post?? Court, you know we are all here for you. Being in the hospital sucks, especially when you don't really know why you're there. I hope you are keeping your spirits up.
