Fat Doctor: Update

Greetings from UCSF Medical Center, room L872, where I was admitted Friday night with several new strokes, bilateral frontal lobes this time. Turns out my bad mood was nothing but poor perfusion; a few intracranial stents this afternoon should do the trick. Please forgive the brevity of this message. Typing is a challenge with limited use of my left hand.

There are other updates, and she’s had a stenting procedure. Read the site for the rest of the updates.

I’ll add my best wishes to the chorus in her comments for a full and speedy recovery. Though new to me, she blogs with a personal and accessible voice, and we need more like her.

Thanks to DOW for the heads-up.
