Got that from a friend. There was a very nice sentimental paragraph about taking time to appreciate life and the world around you and then THAT. Good thing I was not drinking anything. Thought you would appreciate it. How's your stepmom?
LOL. My favourite cloud photoshop is the Goatse one. Only because a bunch of Christians started forwarding it claiming it was the hands of God parting the heavens, without realizing what it actually was XD;;
I'll let the two of you fight this one out but keep in mind that if there's a picture it just has to be true. *laughs* Same as everything in print or found on Wikipedia must be true too. *rolls eyes*
We have clouds up in the sky, second day in a row. Wheee! And there has been rain! Needless to say, I will be keeping an eye on those clouds for any odd looking formations. *grins back*
After the CAT scan, MRI and EEG, it looks like an unruptured mid-cerebral aneurysm *and* a blood clot. Next Monday, they're fishing a tiny camera gizmo in through his femoral artery and sending it up into his brain to have a look around. At this point, they're thinking they'll do the "coiling" technique - they fill the unruptured aneurysm with microscopic platinum wire, until it blocks any further blood flow into the ballooned out part of the artery. Without blood flow, it deflates, taking the pressure off the surrounding brain tissue.
They're not sure what they'll do about the big honking blood clot. We'll know more after the 30th. A team of neurosurgeons will consult to decide the best course of action based on what they see from the camera gizmo.
They found it before it outright paralysed or killed him. Surgeons didn't tell him to go home and just prepare to die. They have a plan that will fix it and the knowledge to make such a plan. TOH is 'good to go' with the fix.

What were the results from the tests on TOH?

You are still sane. *hugs*

You sound like me, talking to TOH. *grin*
