A personal health intermission: My Brain Decided to Upstage My Goals

Hey everyone,

So if you noticed that last Saturday’s usual deep dive into the ‘Factory Showroom’ song 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 pull 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 trie to upstage your blog 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.
