11:49 CDT and i'm can't sleep

well, after checking all my mail, mail that i really didn't need to read, i thought i'd post and update.

i'm still in Mayo's St. Mary's Hospital, almost ready to be released. it's been a trip, which is putting it lightly. what got me here you say? well, being drunk as a skunk without a drop of alcohol. i could barely walk when we got here for my regular doctor's appointment. it was like someone put a spell on me, and hit me with a slinger. could not walk, i could talk and was coherent, but i just could not walk. so they admitted me.

so after a gazillion tests, they find out there's nothing wrong with me, except my underlying problem that brought me here. oh fudge. nothing to diagnose. at least it's giving me a glimpse into the operations of an emergency room at this hospital.

Mayo has been nice to me tho. not a thread of unjust treatment. they've all been professional and courteous. but nothing takes the place of my home. and i've got diva to think about. she's probably missing me more than i'm missing her. well, not quite as much, because i miss her like hell. since monday night, i've been pampered and treated with a royal touch. Mayo, afterall, attracts dignataries and heads of state. it's a top noch hospital/clinic.

so my life has pretty much been put on hold for a bit. all because of my inability to walk from the parking garage. they asked about drugs, and tested me for them all, but they only got a pot hit on me, to which i admitted that i smoked a bit the morning i left for rochester. but at least i'm able to get online with the find folks at efnet. (http://chat.efnet.org).

so after a gazillion tests, they are unable to find out why this happened. like, they can't tell me for sure what happened that caused me to lose control of my legs. they were able to discount almost every disease in the book. which makes me happy that they couldn't diagnose the situation with any certainty.

so i'm sitting here at 23:30 CDT, drinking coffee after being woke up to take a pill, i just couldn't return to sleep. maybe this was all supposed to happen. giving it a trial run. we'll see. so, until later.
