I’m alive!

October 17th, 2008 | Category: ECT, Faire

And I remember who everyone is!  The anesthesia has worn off, and my head is out of the fog.  My headache is gone.  I had a three hour nap when I got home which helped a bunch.  Two ibuprofin can really do wonders. So… I think there’s a good chance that it will be business as usual tomorrow at faire (except I can’t drink).  Thank you all for your good thoughts for me today.

Time and Date Confirmed

October 15th, 2008 | Category: ECT, Faire

It’s set in stone now.  On Friday at 1:30 I’ll get my first zap.  I will try to post Friday night to see how coherent I am.  If I can’t, then I’ll have Lumpy post an update.  I am bound and determined to be at faire this weekend.  I don’t know how long we’ll be there, or how how late we’ll arrive, but dangit I’ll be there.  Good vibes on Friday are much appreciated.

I never thought it would be me.. but it is.  I’m going to be getting my brain zapped.  No, it’s not like what you used to see in One Flew Over the Cuckoos nest.  It’s a lot more civilized now.  I am not sure how to feel about it all.  On one hand, I’m very excited that something new might work for me and this makes me very optimistic.  On the other hand, I’m terrified of the side effects and don’t know what is going to happen.  I guess the unknown is always scary.  So I should be starting my ECT on Friday if all goes well.  This means that at faire, I may be a little “off.”  I’m not sure at all how I’m going to react.  If I get my first one this week, I will make a post so that people have some idea of how to react to me when I forget their name or just totally forget that I know them.

Wish me luck.
