Late night thoughts. With the wife going to bed three hours before I do lately, I have been watching the first season of the 1994-1995 drama, ER, the last few nights. I find myself anxiously following the action and calling out the orders I would anticipate if I were there. I remember the rush of... Sign in to see full entry.

The Story Continues
With the holiday weekend coming up, I've decided to post another long segment of this story. This section addresses the day I was shot and some of its aftermath. Thanks for reading!

We had a great evening last night with Lisa's aunts and uncle. Lisa went to sleep long before the rest of us, but that was part of her coming home game plan.

A much better report this afternoon. They extubated (removed the tube from her throat) Lisa this morning, and she seems to be 'with it.' She was not happy about the technique used to remove it, but that was one of the ways I knew she was alright. It took several minutes and nearly a full eight... Sign in to see full entry.

Late Update
I have been with my wife all day, so here is what is happening. It appears that neurologically, Lisa has no 'deficits.' Her EEG is reading nicely. You will understand why they're keeping her sedated if you have read much of anything the girl has posted. I'm just getting her house-trained, so imagine... Sign in to see full entry.
