Doggo seemed to turn a corner last night and is much more her sweet self after sleeping almost 24 hours straight through. I couldn’t be more relieved. And I couldn’t be more proud of my little family for rallying around her and showing one another so much love and support.

I guess I’m sitting vigil, waiting to see if she’ll rally. We should know in a matter of days; after a couple days seizure free and a really nice morning laying in the sun and letting her walk slow, steady circles in the grass, I feel some kind of peace, either way.

Hi 💜 I make elevated folk art, protect living history, and share my family’s 1900 immigration story in context of living in a modern sanctuary city. Working on a graphic memoir about growing up in Cleveland’s Slavic Village in the 80s 💜

My first job in television was at WOUB PBS Athens, OH. At the time we provided the only nightly live news broadcast for all of SE Ohio. I didn’t survive the premier of Teletubbies & all those fund drives just for some barely literate schmuck to try to shut it down.

One of my favorite ways to spend a spring morning is trying to get photos of my neighbor’s honey bees in my garden. This wee babe has been sooooo busy this morning.

Looking at 3-6 months of PT & pain psych. I am going to war against the BS that is my nervous system. I’ve proved that I can rewire things (“Wanna See My Brain?”) & recent science news validates that even further. (www.mountsinai.org/about/newsro...)
And I have the best motivation.
