Then I woke up at home the morning of March 2 feeling very unwell and had a seizure, followed by one more at Sundre Hospital and two more as Stars was landing at FH. I ended up in ICU intubated. I also started the first higher dose of temozolomine while in ICU - so was not sure if I was feeling bad from the seizures, the temozolomine or from the anti-epileptic medication. I was discharged home Friday, March 7. So I have been with constipation (from temozolomine), diarrhea (from Keppra), a lot of fatigue, some weakness, continuing nausea and no appetite as well as poor speech and word finding.
I have appointments at TBCC Thursday and Friday of this week and I hope medication changes will deal with most of the problems!
I will be in touch once I am feeling better.

Hal, Thank you for the update. The photograph says it all! I am sorry that you have had such a set back and I am not surprised that you are feeling poorly now. Congratulations, once again, on your Alberta Family Physician of the Year award. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and Dianne.

Dear Me. Quite the picture. Have been remiss and had not "checked up on you" in a while and so got quite the shock. Hope the ensuing weeks have been less eventful and more restful: Paul & Lori Mackey
