A Note on Organization

I have wanted, for some time, to write about my experience with brain disease and altered consciousness. The question I inevitably pose to myself is ‘when?’ Since commencing high-dose steroid treatment and immune system suppression, the ascent towards lucidity has been startling rapid. The following trade-off emerges: should I wait longer to express my thoughts, exchanging their timeliness and authenticity for greater fluidity of expression?

Having decided to write now, I have perhaps lost many of my memories, keeping no artifact to preserve them. Yet, I still lack the organization of thought to express the totality of my experience in one well-structured narrative. While my thoughts are vivid, they are scattered and I can only summon them contextually. I’ll try to post here a collection of the thoughts and experiences that have emerged from my experience.
