I am extremely upset. Around 7 I got a call that during the night a spinal tap was performed on Derek. They did not call ahead. No. They just called me and told me that it had been done. What I remember from my own experiences is that spinal taps are rather painful, even if the patient is drugged up rather well.

After getting the news I got ready and came to the hospital, as my cold symptoms are gone, and found out that the thing I was not told was that because of rupturing blood vessels Derek lost a lot of blood and was unconscious. He is not exactly in good shape, but he does not complain. Yet I can tell he is having a monster headache. More news on our lives later.
