I had a joke for this, but I'm afraid it might be in bad taste. Regardless, best of luck to you, Zach. Hopefully you'll be back going on and on about dinosaurs and making extremely immature jokes soon.

Yeah, don't make a joke in bad taste.....
some people tend not to be able to take jokes around here.

But if Zach is lucky, they may trigger his X-gene, then he will come out of this better than all of us.
I hope it's some sort of mutant healing factor.

Best wishes!  I will pray for a speedy recovery as well, Zach.  I hope that you will be feeling much better soon. 

Until then, my son and I will make sure to play with his dinosaur collection in your honor.

Aw, you guys are awesome. Thanks for the all well wishes. Now, here's what's going on...

On Monday after work, I came down with a nasty migraine headache. I didn't think it was a big deal--I've gotten migraines before (routinely, even). But it hadn't gone away by Wednesday, and I daresay it had become intolerably painful by Wednesday night. It felt like I was being stabbed in the back of head every time my heart beat. So we went to a place called FireCare (kind of a 2nd-rate ER) and they told me it was a meio-facial headache and that I was dehydrated. I got a deep-tissue neck massage and had two liters of fluids injected into my arm. Great. But I did feel a little better.

Next time? The pain is just as bad. Went back to FirstCare, and they told me to head to the actual ER. Which I did. The next two days are a big blur. The ER doctor gave me a lumbar puncture and then immediately took me into emergency brain surgery for a brain abcsess. This is serious stuff--it's where bacteria (or fungus) have broken through the blood-brain barrier between the sinuses and the brain and are now sitting directly on the surface of the brain. My brain got scrubbed, lots of spinal fluid was cultured, and I got sent to an ICU room.

That's where I've been ever since. I perpetually hear from my three doctors that "tomorrow" I will have my head tube removed. The head tube is used to equilate (is that a word? I'm still woozy) pressure in my skull but it can also be used to take a sample of spinal fluid OR inject antibiotics directly to the abcsess site. That might happen tomorrow, as my spinal fluid is still "cloudy," or filled with bacteria. I'll know more tomorrow...

Once the head tube is out, I'll be able to move from the ICU to a normal hospital room and start the actual road to recovery. I'll have to learn to walk again (seriously) and my primary doctor will have to figure out a med schedule for me to take home with a CADD pump to give me antibiotics through my PICCline IV. So that's the story. I'll know more tomorrow. Keep pulling for your favorite dinosaur-obsessed staffer, guys. I might not make it to the next Newscast, but I can't imagine why I'd be kept away from later episodes!

You should just learn how to fly instead. Walking is over rated.

It took Clark (on Smallville) 10 years to learn to fly, so make Superman look like a fool and learn to do it sooner (like everyone else on Smallville that could fly)

Hmm...I had an inclination it was a brain abscess since it was mentioned it was an infection. Brain surgery is tough on the patient. I'm very surprised that you'll have to learn how to walk again though. Not to worry you, but that's unusual.

I'm glad you're well enough to type and joke about it. That's a great sign. I hope you feel better soon.

The surgery probably threw off his inner ear balance. He is going to have to recalibrate his brain for the new level. While you can use your eyes to keep level, his ears will keep messing with him until he can adjust hence he will have to effectively relearn to walk.

I assume he will have to relearn how to ride a bike as well. I guess the old adage doesn't apply!

Well... I feel bad. I used to didn't like Zach because he said "Paper Mario can suck it"... I'm still not entirely over that, but still. Sounds like Zach will have a lot of trails ahead. His head must really hurt. ugh.. I wish I was better with words, but I just hope nothing happens to him. Here's to hoping for a healthy recovery.

Wow, that's a wild story.  Brain scrub?  That's a real thing?!
But the best part is that it sounds like things have gone well so far and that you are (or very nearly are) fully on the road to recovery already.


Anyone setting up a PayPal donation link? Just guessing, but surgery like this probably isn't free in the US unless NWR staff perks include really awesome insurance plans ...

Hopefully you got a game System with you.  I go Stir crazy just sitting in a room.  It is almost unavoidable that nothing good is on TV.

Yeah it is, and one of the major downsides to it is that he can no longer "Whip His Hair Back and Forth" because now you hear a squeaking sound because his brain is so fresh and so clean (clean).

Which will prompt a need to shave his head and give him the ability to show up in shiny surfaces.
