One of the kind things folks have done to support Ellen and I while we travel through the stroke-recovery-experience with Ellen is to bring food over for us. This is a challenge at the best of times, as most folks know our diet is restricted. Well, last week our neighbors from across the street brought […]
Several years ago I was introduced to the idea of brain fog as a consequence of brain inflammation. At the time the concepts were new and floating around in my brain as fairly complex biochemical pathways that produced nasty consequences. Over time I have been able to relate these concepts to real world experiences and […]
