A personal health intermission

Me and my brain had a falling out.

Hey everyone,

So if you noticed that last Saturday’s usual deep dive songs by They Might Be Giants was conspicuously missing, I was busy (and still am) guest-starring in a surprise medical drama involving my brain.

On Saturday morning, my head decided to give me the worst, most sudden headache of my entire life. And by “worst,” I mean the kind that makes ER doctors say, “Yep, let’s get you in for a brain scan right now, it’s probably bleeding.”

They found a sign of bleeding on my CT scan, whisked me back for more tests, and then discovered it was likely a tiny little birth-given vessel deciding to stage a one-time-only performance. No active bleeding now, just me hanging out under observation until they give a second angiogram and give me the all-clear.

So if you’ve ever wondered what your brain is truly capable of to try to upstage your writing goals; it will literally try to kill you.

Thanks for your patience and your well wishes. I’ll be back to our regularly scheduled TMBG musings soon.
