antipositron

Holeeee sheeeet!! I am glad you and your spouce are okay.

I am sick and tired of buying pasteurised processed milk in supermarkets knowing in well that most of what I pay goes to the middle men. I also terribly miss the thick creamy milk that I am used to get in India (people make a living by looking after one or two cows and selling fresh milk in the neighbourhood).

Is it possible for farmers like yourself to sell milk directly to consumers? I would love to be able to go to a nearby farm or co-op milk wending machine, put money in and fill my own containers with fresh creamy milk as nature intended it to be.

Can you please make this happen?

Sitting here at my office off Parnell Street, exactly where I was sitting last June when you were out exploring the world - just wanted to say that I am sooo fecking jealous of you!

Well done! I can totally imagine how elated you are..!

My wife went thru this too. Lobotomy I think it was called. After 20 years of seizures and misery, she finally went thru the surgery and boom.. surgeon came to review hours after the surgery, and casually but confidently said "she's... okay now. she's cured." Even the skeptic in me couldn't stop me from crying. And he was spot on too. EIGHT years seizure free!!

Long it may continue for her and you too!

PS: Hospital looks familiar. Are you in Ireland by any chance?

Lobotomy

Some sort of temporal lobectomy indeed. She had a bad scar (more like void) and seizures were originating from there - is the best how I can explain it. She was getting partial seizures 10-20 times a day despite being on a concoction of various meds (including topamax, which was just horrible). She would get tonic-clonic seizures once every two-three months or so as well. Doctors kept experimenting drugs for years without any progress and I am not sure what they were hoping for. Surgery fixed it, 100%.

She came off the drugs over the next 18 months, driving license, pregnancy, kids etc. I am forever thankful to the team that operated on her. I don't think the world knows or appreciates how hard and debilitating epilepsy really is.
