Normal day

Good news today - I got through the day without a pounding headache, so it seems the lumbar puncture is healing. The headaches have been getting later and later in the day, so my assumption is that whatever leak was causing them is slowly sealing itself

Sunday was a great time - 3 friends from college made their way to our house and we all had fun grilling brats and kabobs out on the deck. For the guys who read this - thanks for coming out. It was awesome getting to hang out like old times, and we plan to do it again as soon as things clear up on my end.

Not a whole lot else to report, Margaret is having fun at school and Madeline is getting mommy all to herself these days.

I've started on an ambitious program to make seltzer water, and am working on changing around my kegerator setup to support this. I've found that I  rather like seltzer and it's easier to stomach than other carbonated beverages when I get out of the hospital.
