Stacking the Shelves #198 Sunday Post #195 Sunday Salon #189

Hey, my bookish friends!!  How are you all doing? I was sick last weekend, so I tried to rest and relax. On Monday, I started having tingling in the left side of my face, long story short, I spent most of Monday and Tuesday in the hospital. They thought I was having a stroke, thankfully I was not. I had a CAT scan, MRI, and EEG. The CAT scan showed a tiny aneurysm, which is what earned me the hospital stay. I have some follow-up tests and more bloodwork in my near future, but so far, so good. I didn't get much sleep, so I am completely wiped out. On the bright side, I got a lot of reading in!! I am hoping to catch up on some of that lost sleep, and get the things done around the house that I wasn't able to do last weekend. What are your plans for this weekend?

Stacking The Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your  shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks! And audiobooks.

    Another hospital stay...I'm so sorry. I'm glad they figure out what it was and were able to fix it, and even more glad that you're okay! Take care of yourself. And I hope you enjoy reading Edenbrooke. It's one of my favs. :D

      Lark, I have heard SO many good things about Edenbrooke, and even had it checked out a few times. I am almost afraid to read it in case I don't like it as much as others have.

    Yikes, sounds like quite the week! Hope you're doing better now, and get some rest. At least the reading time is a bit of a silver lining!

    Oh my! I'm glad they were able to pinpoint the problem and find a way to solve it. I hope you are able to rest up. It's great that you were, at least, able to get in some good reading time.

    That's scary! Hospitals are some of the least restful places on the planet. I hope you're getting rested now.

    Oh man, scary news. Now that they've found the tiny aneurysm what do they do so it doesn't cause any problems. I'm glad you sought help. It sounds like it was worth the bother. Take care. Blessings.

      Anne, I have a follow up with a stroke clinic, and it is my understanding that they follow up with the aneurysm, most likely with a repeat scan in a year. If they don't, I also have a consult with a neurosurgeon.
