Hello friends,
=A0
As promised, I have an update for my friends in these societies.=A0 I've be=
en in the hospital
for about a month now.=A0 10 days ago, I had an unexplained seizure (an act=
ual seizure, not
an OCD/Tourette related outburst). :(=A0 I moved from the psych unit to a s=
mall room on the
regular medical floor=A0for=A0over a week, with no access to computers (or =
much else for that=20
matter).=A0 I fear I may have some as-of-yet undiscovered medical condition=
, but my doctors
are optimistic that this was a 1-time episode.=A0 This morning I began to s=
how warning
signs of a possible second seizure, but luckily none occurred.=A0 My arms a=
re covered
with bruises from poorly-performed IVs and bloodwork, and they are running =
out of places=20
to give me shots.=A0 But, I am trying to remain optimistic, as always.=A0 T=
hinking of my friends
gives me hope that one day I will never need to be hospitalized again, as h=
opeless as
such an ideal may be, but it gets me through the day.=A0 At this point, I w=
ouldn't be
surprised to be here for at least another month.=A0 It doesn't help that th=
e doctors here
don't even know what medication I am receiving.=A0 There are major communic=
ation issues=20
with the doctors, nurses, and pharmacy.
=A0
Anyway, sorry for the disappointing news.=A0 By the way, I made a mistake.=
=A0 In an
earlier email, I listed Adam Kisby, Brennan Martin, and Don Stoner as peopl=
e who have
probably and/or have the potential to outscore me on I.Q. tests.=A0 I shoul=
d have added to
this list John Fahy, even though he was technically included by default (as=
long as I
worded things correctly).=A0 But he definitely should have been explicitly =
mentioned as
one of the leading scorers in the high-I.Q. community.=A0 And I apologize i=
f my listing my
I.Q. score offended anyone.=A0 From my point of view, we are all exceptiona=
l (definitely
including EVERYONE in 4d_Cubing), and 30 I.Q. points doesn't mean anything.=
=A0 Still,
I was very pleased with my score, and thought it would be appropriate to sh=
are, just as=20
James correctly determined.
=A0
Thank you all for being there for me.=A0 Your support is greatly appreciate=
d during these
trials in my life.=A0 I apologize in advance for failing to respond to indi=
vidual emails.
=A0
All the best,
David
