@gatopescado  
-Yeah? I’m gonna post something personal about you. Why are so irritating?🤭 Yes!I know stuff

@Wolfpup -apparently the doctors were discussing sending me to St. Louis, to some kinda place like that. My comfort and communication difficulty were the deciding factor. Anywhoo, my seizures are definitely tied to my glucose levels.  
Neurologist PA told me

The PA promised me they would figure this out. Be patient and try to not have any more accidents.  
Easy to say. Hard to do.

Hey, Beck, nice to see you up and about. Sorry about talking about you in the third person up there in the previous post, but after reading about you getting ketamine I thought you might still be knocked out. If these seizures keep happening please consider what I wrote. There are special centers of expertise for these things. You need to be your own patient advocate. Take care, and much love.  
❤

I’ve had 2 surgeries at the UA Med Center. I Also go to their outpatient clinics. Excellent doctors

It is a public hospital. Most people say get the surgery at the Med Center and go to Baptist Medical or St Vincent post op recovery.

That’s what I did

Thank you  
I don’t mind you speaking about me.  
They woke me up slowly yesterday. It was just plain awful. I would be aware of stuff, next minute I was Coo-coo for Cocoa puffs.

I will discuss the neurologist and the reason he’s keeping here, with my family

Post away, Dear Heart! I speak fluent typo!

You have the entire SDMB in bed with you. Although crowded, you’ll never be alone!

(Nurse! Can we get another pillow here? Gato keeps hogging them, and I have suspicions that he’s EATING them!)

This.

Oh, Becks, we are sending you strength and love. Glad you are up and around. Yes, I know that feeling of being there and suddenly not. It’s not fun. Therefore, being locked to your bed is actually a good idea, even if it is also a sucky one. Again, sending you strength and love.

Good news!

Good luck!

Since this isn’t theater (well, it is a kind of theater of the absurd), I won’t say 'Break a leg", because you might.

The PA says “no more accidents or I’m ordering you to a padded room.”

My Daddy always said, about me: “give her a steel ball she’ll break it and hurt herself”  
He’s the one who named me ‘beckdawrek’

I promise I’m going home, Fishface
