This is me today. Check it out! Hair styling! Make-up! Well, at least you all know my priorities.
So my progress continues: I walk without support; I can do many of the exercises I used to do before I became necrotic. Perhaps I shouldn't say that anymore--the truth is, I don't feel necrotic anymore. I feel flippin' great--better than I did before this happened to me. I'm typing better and faster. I'm remembering sequences--I actually did a Sudoku puzzle yesterday. I did the LA Times Crossword. My balance is better--I can now balance briefly on one leg.
And I'm making plans. I can't wait to come back to school; I'm trying to think of different ways to do things and to teach. I'm all on board for podcasts and everything else you can think of through technology--the possibilities are endless, and there are a lot of new topics I want to work up.
Stay tuned!

I am so happy for you, Laurel! And I can't wait to see you! Your progress, outlook, and attitude are all so wonderful and make me feel better about everything! THANK YOU!!
You're gorgeous!!!
I've been wondering if you might consider presenting a paper on your blog at the conference next summer. While our official abstract deadline has passed, we won't be constructing our program for several months yet, and Anne and I would be thrilled to hold a place open for whatever presentation you'd like to make. You're certainly our undisputed local expert on literature and technology, and so it seems a shame not to showcase your exciting work. Anyway, it's something to think about, if you don't have other plans for early July.
Of course, more info is at:

Three cheers for you, Laurel!

So happy to hear about your amazing progress. I only hope the rest of us can learn to reap such productive insights from calamity.
Your blog is a fascinating thing to read. Your courage and positive outlook on life is truly inspiring and uplifting. And you're a great writer!
Maybe it's time for something in Second Life :)
Woot! Podcasts and such will be fun fun fun! Let me know if I can help. And I agree with Edith: you're gorgeous!
Laurel, you look wonderful in that picture. Here I thought you'd be all peaked and wan and languishing. But instead you're radiating vitality. (And just a touch of the gypsy fortune teller--which I think works pretty well for a high-tech medievalist.)
Gosh! Talk about La Vita Nuova!
