Why Posting Has Been Light Lately

KC and I just got home from the hospital, where he’s been since Wednesday. They think he had a mini-stroke, which would explain his vertigo and dizziness (even more than usual). Here he is getting his brain scanned, one of the many tests they ran. (The dots are electrodes.)

He said it was like watching the best Pink Floyd laser light show. He’s fine now but still resting up. Just in time for me to feel like I’m coming down with a cold.

Holy crap. Hope you both are doing better.
February 7, 2009 at 2:14 pm
Best wishes to both of you and I hope KC has a speedy recovery!

ok, scary. My best wishes to you both.

If he liked the light show, he should try it with the Vicodin.
Of course, for the full effect, he should drop a tab of Cialis.
(Purely for theraputic purposes, of course…)

Well wishes for both of you. My prayers for a speedy recovery.
February 7, 2009 at 4:14 pm
That is very scary. Glad he’s okay.
Good thoughts for you both.

Oh Johanna. You and KC have my prayers and love. *hugs*
February 7, 2009 at 4:43 pm
We are all hoping for a speedy recovery!!!!!
February 7, 2009 at 5:35 pm
Scary indeed, but glad to hear he’s okay. Hope you both feel better soon!
February 7, 2009 at 7:25 pm
Whoa… Best wishes, you two.

Get better soon, KC. We all love you and want you to be a healthy dude!

Dang, speedy recovery KC! Best wishes to you both!
February 8, 2009 at 9:06 am
I hope you feel better real soon KC.
February 8, 2009 at 9:33 am
Get well soon!
February 8, 2009 at 11:42 am
Oh dear! Hope everything is on its way back up. Get well soon, KC! Lots of love to both of you.

Of course, that picture of KC does make me jealous. He always looks so dapper, even in a glam rock bandana.
February 8, 2009 at 2:47 pm
I hope KC gets well soon, and best wishes to you both!

Best wishes to both of you.

I love how savvy you two are. We are FREAKED out about KC upon reading the first paragraph of the post only to be greeted by a shot of smiling KC. Really Draper Carlson, only you would show folks how to properly inform folks of a loved one’s welfare, explain the site “technical” difficulties and provide perfect supporting graphic illustration all in one post. You are in my prayers and I hope the adrenaline connected to your stress of KC in the hospital will knock that ill-timed cold on its ass.
KC–get better sir!

Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery–and that both the patient and the chief caregiver are getting all the care they need.
February 8, 2009 at 9:47 pm
Thanks for all the good wishes!
I’m doing well. I was very lucky! I can still walk (slowly) and talk. Stairs and typing are still a challenge, though. Anxious to start PT this week.
Johanna was the real hero, though. Somehow she managed to ignore her own illness to take care of me, and put up with a lot of crap to do it. She’s the most amazing person – and best partner! If she’s not around here much this week, it’s totally my fault. She finally crashed early tonight – with the worst cold!
She’ll be back soon! And me not far behind.
Thanks again from both of us and please remember to take care of yourselves! And each other!

I hear ya on that ‘typing challenge’, man. Get better soon and rest up! I’ll be thinking of you when I hit my own PT tomorrow. =)

I just read this, as I spent the weekend away from the computer. Glad you’re doing okay, KC and hope the two of you continue to improve!
February 9, 2009 at 10:36 am
Glad to hear KC is doing better, though sorry to hear you are coming down with something. Sickness sucks.

Get well quickly to both of you!
February 9, 2009 at 12:13 pm
Holy Smokes, pal! I just heard! My best wishes to you both!
February 9, 2009 at 4:38 pm
We’ve had some recent experience with this sorta thing, so my double-extra-sympathetic best wishes go out to you both.
February 9, 2009 at 4:46 pm
I’m glad to hear you’re doing better, KC — here’s to a speedy recovery! (And you get well soon, too, Johanna!)
February 9, 2009 at 5:33 pm
Just wanted to add my best wishes to you both… good to see KC smiling, and I’ll echo everyone else’s wishes for a speedy recovery.
