So, two nights in the hospital, where I was well taken care of. I will be going to Northwestern at the end of January for an “EP study.” EP here means electrophysiological, and what they’ll do is map my heart, potentially find the faulty wiring, and zap it to take it out of play. Theoretically, this will prevent any further chaos.
Because oversharing seems to really be my thing, I will post a little something about that procedure when the time comes. So, you have that to look forward to.
Look, I was never going to post photos from the Cubs game or pictures of my kids (that I don’t have) at their graduation. But, if my health had not gone sideways (the MS, not my heart), I would likely be traipsing around the Middle East these years, posting far more interesting things than trips to the hospital and what book or series I’ve gone through most recently.
I really wish I was there. I sorely miss the Arab world; and I miss Arab culture dearly. But for now, I am at my desk most days, when I’m not teaching, tending to intellectual and political matters. There are many books to read—I can hear my desk groaning—and a few to write yet. So, I guess I’ll, as my neighbor says, get to gettin'.
