My leg swelled up in July 2024. In December of 2024 it started leaking to the point of sleeping with a towel wrapped around it every night, it would be pretty dampened in the morning. On July 7th of 2025, for no reason I can understand, I went on autopilot. I called 911, an ambulance was at my house in under five minutes. The attendants examined my leg, took my vitals, and loaded me up.

I remember most of the ambulance ride. I remember waiting in a hall on the ambulance gurney with the ambulance attendants who stayed with me until I was transferred to a bed in the emergency department, took an hour or two. I should have realized something was up because time started not making sense, not being linear…if that makes any sense. On my bed in the ER the air conditioning was really bothering my leg (AC plus a leaky leg was too cold for me at that time, and I adore the cold.) I remember covering my leg with a blanket. I waited about an hour. I went to the bathroom.
