Quote from: chainsaw midget on May 08, 2026, 03:27:10 PMYesterday my mother was out working in the garden.  When I came to get her for supper, she was acting odd and I called 911.  She's been in the hospital since last night.  They say her vitals and most of her test results look good, but she was still acting strangely.  They gave her an MRI and it came back that she had a stroke.  They're taking her to neurology for further testing and assessment now. 

Her range of movement seems normal, and she knows who she is, where she is, who everybody else is, and what's going on around her, but she feels distant and detached.  She doesn't talk, mostly just nodds her head, but she will give the occasional one or two word answer.

Right now I'm just waiting to hear more from the doctor.  I'm not sure what's going to happen next.   

Sending hugs and good wishes.

I'm about to launch into the complete works of the 13th-century Persian poet Rumi. Wish me luck.

AILEY (2021): A portrait of the life and work of groundbreaking African-American choreographer Alvin Ailey. Reverent, and rather obvious, portrait of a serious and dedicated artist, aimed at a niche audience. It occurs to me that serious artists tend to lead boring lives, because they are consumed by their work. 3/5.
