Lumbar Punctures are brutal

As it turns out, lack of sleep coupled with a high fever can induce fainting and seizures...especially in me. Put 10 people in a room, don't let 'em sleep for a few days, and at least one of them will end up fainting...so says the doctor I had for my first three or so hours in the emergency room on Sunday night.

The ambulance took me to the ER, where I was put on oxygen and went through a full battery of tests including a spinal tap and a CT scan. All I have is a bad case of strep throat, and nothing worse.

 Lumbar Puncture - they tested my CSF to see if I had meningitis, thankfully I did not

A big thank-you to Dr. Sehgal, Dr. Choi, and everyone else who tended to me at the hospital. :)
