Oh, you never know, Tim. I recall the first (of what turned out to be many) migraine auras I had (without headache -- I apparently don't get the headache).
I thought I was stroking or had stroked, and I remember mapping the scotoma on a newspaper I had been reading, thinking "so, this is what it's like," thinking more about exactly where in the occipital the damage was, and like that. It turned out (I am happy to say) to have been transient, but in that moment I didn't think it was. I wasn't sad or afraid; I was curious. It's one of those situations over which you have absolutely no control, and most of us academic types are curious, so at first is the curiosity. I think later would come the sadness at the loss. m ------ "There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about." -- Margaret Wheatley -----Original Message----- From: Shearon, Tim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2007 8:23 PM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Subject: RE: [tips] Stained Glass Brain No stroke to blame it on but I was just reminded by someone on the list, Jill's response wasn't, "Neat!" but "This is so Cool!"
