Hannah

 Hannah had another episode on Tuesday, not a seizure, from what she described, it sounds like sleep paralysis. 

My understanding of sleep paralysis is that there is a disconnect between the brain and body. When we are in REM sleep, the time when we dream, our brains temporarily paralyze the muscles in our body; otherwise, we would be acting out our dreams! As we wake up, the muscles become active again. Sleep paralysis happens when we are waking up, but our bodies are still paralyzed. It's not dangerous but rather scary. I've had a few episodes of this myself, so I can understand Hannah's panic.

She decided to come home Tuesday evening. She spent the night at home but had to return to university today. So I've come back with her for a few days. Next week is a holiday, so she can come home again for a few days.

This morning I offered to make breakfast. Just something simple, sausage, eggs, and English muffins.

Breakfast at Hannah's

It took longer than it should have, as I spent time looking for things. I forgot how difficult it is to cook in somebody else's kitchen!

I made a little video of Hannah's apartment. I narrated it, but my voice sounds awful. It always does, but sounds worse than usual as I have awful allergies and a sore throat.

Enjoy the video even though it's not the best quality!

Hannah has an MRI appointment on Friday, so I hope she can start to get some answers as to why these things keep happening to her!

I'm wondering what to do for the rest of the morning! I've cleaned up, hung the laundry, I have to wash the dishes from breakfast, but after that I'm free. Read? Watch TV? Lie around?  I would go out but the weather is rather unstable, thunderstorms on and off, and rain that goes from a little drizzle to full-on downpour in a matter of seconds!

It's very quiet here, no cats. I never thought I would miss them so much! I'll have to ask Christopher to send some photos later!
