Hey beautiful souls, 

My system went CTRL+ALT+DELETE this past week and I have to reboot my Summer plans.

Well, it all began in April…or maybe earlier.

I kept having these sharp headaches that felt like people were mining inside my head. This Tuesday the miners reappeared after a short hiatus, and I swear they had brand new sophisticated tools because the pain was unbearable. I slept early on Tuesday, woke up feeling ok on Wednesday and went for my Research Methods Summer class only for the sharp pains to reemerge during class.

…when I came to in the ER

I excused myself and went to the school Health Center, only to regain my senses in the ER.

After a couple of scans and being pricked all over in the name of IVs and blood tests, I became the proud ‘owner of a new diagnosis’ (buyer beware, everything can be pathologized).

This whole scene is a deja vu.

I have been here before.

Twenty years ago to be precise.
