Good News, Bad News

General
Well, the good news is, I finally get a full 24 hours with no work to do.
The bad news is why...
At 0630 this morning, I stepped out of my PT Cruiser and started walking toward the local Kroger. Suddenly, my right side felt tingly -- all pins-and-needles. I trued to say "That was weird", and it came out, "Thwrrr..."
Well, I remembered the account that
robcat had written about his Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA, basically a mini-stroke), so -- as soon as I had the family woken up for church -- I headed to the emergency room.
As I type this, I'm in room 335 at Lake Pointe Medical Center in Rowlett. All the tests are negative -- yes, including the brain scan, I know that joke -- and they're just holding me for observation. Apparently it was just a basilar artery migraine, which has very similar symptoms to a TIA.
So, yeah. Figured I'd catch folks up.
Yours from a hospital bed,
The uninsured,
Wanderer
