Update

Things are quite a bit more positive than they were a few days ago. They took out my IV, which is a good sign. I'm currently taking an anti-seizure medication and a steroid to minimize the swelling in my brain. I don't know if I mentioned it before but the upshot of the anti-seizure medication is that I can potentially get a variation of anti-seizure meds that will also help control future migraines.

I'm not sure what's coming up next. All of the tests they've done so far have indicated that if there is a mass in my brain (it could be a couple things) it's metastatic, which is good because it means I don't have spreading cancer. This is all a lot to process, and I'm doing my best to be clear and concise, but, kind of... well... the whole thing boils down to the fact that I had a seizure in my car on Friday afternoon and nobody's really sure why, exactly.

I can't drive for six months. We're going to do some looking into that, to see exactly what that entails and if I can potentially at least get a work permit if I'm on the anti-seizure meds, because I'm going to hate being beholden to people for rides to work. We'll also have to see what post-hospital stay procedure is. It's a ways from over, but it's possible that they'll be sending me home today.

I can't tell you how good it feels to write.
