Some news.

I just took wcg home from the hospital. I know the news that he was in the hospital has sort of partially propogated through our mutual circles; he's given me permission to post a brief update.

Yesterday, Bill went to the doctor because he'd had a few days of weird pain and tingling on his left side. When his blood pressure was discovered to be 200/135, they admitted him to the hospital, where he was discovered to have had a few lacunar strokes. The strokes were very small and don't appear to have caused any functional problems. However, the blood pressure problem is pretty alarming, and needs to be gotten under control immediately to prevent future (and possibly larger) strokes.

Bill's feeling fine, and will probably be posting to that effect any minute now. But I suspect that he, and everyone close to him, could probably use a hug.

I spent some time communicating support to Paula last night and rounding up a little all-around healing energy. All of which still continues, but *hugs* to you, too, my dear. Scary stuff, but fortunate that the BP problem was detected in time to prevent worse occurrences.
