Update...

My nice neurologist called. The sleeping 16 out of 24 hours? Topamax. Coughing up blood? Not Topamax.

So I called my primary care physician and talked to to the triage nurse who told me that I shouldn't panic, but she definitely wanted me seen -- nothing was available today, but she'd work me in for tomorrow. If I cough up more blood, develop pain or difficulty breathing, I'm to go to the E.R. She also said there was no way to know just on what I said whether the blood came from the lungs or the esophagus.

So I guess I need to put that Satine outfit back in the closet.

Ow. Just as well you aren't on an airplane right now, I guess...

I'll second that! Take care of yourself, Pat.

That sounds pretty scary. Keep us posted. Many hugs.

I talked to Jay at lunchtime today (around 12:45), and he said that Pat had gone to the ER.
