At times, it’s been more than a little touch and go.
Although I couldn’t possibly relay the whole sordid tale, I shall attempt to hit some high and low spots.
TPX0131 and I had a brief and tempestuous relationship. Six days in I would have said no side effects.
And then the shit hit the fan big time. Initially I was admitted to the ER for a lingering pneumonia (fevers–serious ones–of unknown origin.) They did what they could for me (IV antibiotics) and then I was released briefly (and if any of my handlers/editors notice any errors–please let me know. I am not entirely sure this visit was post trial onset).
I also know that I was next admitted with mental confusion. And at this point it all goes dark. Later I would realize that I was often hallucinating. All in all a month + in the hospital (lots to relay regarding that) and then two weeks in rehab.
It was hell; all of it. The current conclusion is that I suffered a severe neural injury. Tripping x 1000 (my assessment). And it took more than a month to start coming down.
The entire experience was terrifying. I am back home now trying to relearn simple things, such as typing and walking. My group of friends and family have been amazingly supportive.
I have also been very appreciate of messages, flowers, and food sent my way.
Now I must rest but I shall try to check in more frequently.

Thank you for your update. So sorry you have had such a difficult experience. I can only imagine. The word terrifying conveys the sense of a deeply traumatic circumstance. I suppose there must be times when you think ‘what next?’ Or maybe not, and with all that has gone before you just put one step in front of the other and see where it leads you. That is not for one second to suggest a passive approach. Far from it, you are clearly a fighter and your strength shines through. I’m not sure if you realise it but that is a huge gift you give to all of us and I for one am very grateful. I hope the recovery goes well and am sending my best thoughts and wishes to you xxx
What a nice surprise in my email this morning. So good to hear from you❤️💚🧡🦋🐶🧚♀️👏🏼
A sigh from relief from Texas! It was so good to see your post. Your ordeal sounds awful though. Best wishes for healing and making sense of things in the best way you can.
I send healing thoughts to you. I am unsubscribing as Jim passed away and I am struggling without hearing more about cancer. Please knowthat my thoughts are with you and your strength is amazing. Charlott Bodding
I don’t pray often; but I’ve been praying lots!; for weeks. I was so worried about you. Your brief description of what happened, sounds terrifying. I am hoping, and still praying; that you are over this hump at least and some well earned calm, joy, and wellness are in your near future.
🥲🙏❤️❤️❤️
Sending huge love your way, Linnea. And worlds of respect and admiration as always.
