Personal Update
On March 7th, I awoke with a severe cold. Unfortunately, this caused me to become light-headed, and I eventually had a grand-mal seizure while I laying in my bed.
I personally do not remember much of what happened next.
I took a shower as I often do after a grand-mal as a way of calming and relaxing the tightened muscles. The combination of being sick and having had a seizure placed me in a vulnerable position. After stumbling back to my room and managing to get pants on, I began to have another grand-mal seizure.
My head hit many hard surfaces such as furniture and the floor multiple times at multiple angles. This led to large amounts of swelling for my head. I bit into my tongue and must have landed on my right cheek in such a way that led to large amounts of internal bleeding of the mouth as well.
According to my mother, when I came to I began vomiting. This is often an early sign of a serious concussion.
I have been in a serious concussion state since this episode. My memory of the past week and a half is blurry. If I have communicated with you I may have no memory of doing so. I apologize for this.
I have not been through this difficult an experience in many years. I have gotten quite "good" at recognizing when a seizure is about to occur and putting my self in a safe position and place before the seizure begins. Unfortunately, this was not one of those times.
I have tried minimizing my communication with people during this time. I will not be on Corny Chat (nprofile…ttjm) any time soon. I will be unable to go to my local Central Pennsylvania Bitcoiners (nprofile…p5vh) meetup this upcoming Thursday.
Thank you to nostr.build (nprofile…302n) and Pidgeon (nprofile…sxh8) for the services they provide which allow me to continue distributing Bread and Toast (nprofile…fsyv) content as regularly scheduled during these difficult times.
