Good God, a runny nose. I am so happy to hear that you dodged a second and unnecessary surgery! I can't imagine the anxiety. Let's hope that like donating blood, draining out a little CSF is good for you. I'm sure there's little to no downside from draining, aside from the horror of it and the risk of infection, of course. You cousin was right enough? Happy Hanukkah, lil!
Thanks mk, and thx for watching the video. Actually, if I ever write and perform the whole thing, part 2 begins, “My cousin was wrong.” Recovering from this particular surgery has been difficult, but I hope will continue more easily now that I’m home. I’ve been messaging with your brother and I’m very moved by his story and the entire K family story, of which I know only bits. I’m grateful for the ongoingness of hubski (proofreading I discovered auto-correct had changed it to “ongoing mess of hubski” - fixed it). I posted my story on hubski as you know, and sent the link to many family and friends, so there may have been a little bump in visits.
