“On a friday morning in october of 2014, I drove from dc to baltimore.the total driving time was closer to ninety minutes than the usual hour, the significance of this will become clear later in this message. Ten miles outside of baltimore, I did not feel well. Eventually pulling into my daughter's driveway, and feeling very faint, I managed to call my her via cellphone, right outside her kitchen window. I was so sick that I could not get out of the car. I felt utterly limp, dizzy and nauseous as my son-in-law pulled me out to stagger in the front door and collapse on the living room couch. …”
