NIH

I'm not sure I can even begin to describe this experience. I will write my way through it, but there will most likely be fewer blog entries.

Here
They look at
The whole body.
I am not just
On a video monitor.
Here I am more
Than a woman
With epilepsy
Even the radiologist
Sees my AFOs
Asks questions.
Here everything
Is connected

To everything else.

Daunting

This time next week I will have finished step one... flown out to DC...had the first round of tests, met with the epileptologist at NIH, flown home, and awakened in my own bed. Daunting? Yes. I have a round of what ifs sifting through my brain.  What exactly will step two look like?

This is all daunting
Amazing daunting (who knew)
Who knew really knew?
