I was able to bring nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7ct5d3shxtnwdaehgu3wd3skueqpp3mhxue69uhkyunz9e5k7qpqkumadawgefxjt2c293whsan5sfmdg5tylm0uk39enc6uxxfy5m4sdln07f home yesterday. Way drugged up and still suffering the aftermath of her three seizures and of course the damn brain tumor itself.
Right now we're in a multi-day waiting period to see how much or how little of her conscious mind she can recover. She's here physically, but she's mostly a poorly functioning automaton:

It's both darkly funny and horrible to see how broken her mind is right now:

BUT this is still a big improvement from the night before. And the signs of recognition / interactivity are encouraging:

The next few days will be decisive. It was difficult to explain this part without breaking down:

I had INCREDIBLE anxiety yesterday before we picked her up. I know her time is limited no matter what and tried hard to keep my hopes guarded and realistic. But I couldn't help it: just please let her be herself again -- seeing us, responding to us, loving us -- even if only for a day.
The anxiety came on so savagely because I knew I'd be finding out soon that we might not even be that lucky. The robot dog, the automaton that's only vaguely aware of us might be as far as her recovery can go.
But the moment the vets brought her into the room to release her to us, she made eye contact and trotted directly for me. She was even hazier and more broken than she is in these videos (recorded a few hours later), but at least there was a glimmer of a chance.
And this morning we had another breakthrough: She wagged her tail when my niece came to greet her. ❤️❤️❤️
Whatever progress we get in the next 2-3 days is likely to be it. Hoping hoping hoping. And then it's the unknown of how long any of it will last.
Whole family had a good talk and a good cry last night. Whatever we get, we have to absolutely cherish.
My heart breaks for you. I hope she continues to improve 🫂
A layer of dark was added, it changes the look of the drawing “Lightplay portrait iii” https://video.nostr.build/4b4d6188cabf91bb415000651b794438c1b3f2c3ead07241921889bd1a0b4449.mp4
Beautiful 💜
You definitely nailed it with the tall building!
No wonder I didn’t pick the last one. I haven’t spent much time around Skycity. The roof top bar is nice but only been there a couple of times.
Love these!
I recognise most of the places.
Adelaide arcade is so beautiful 🤩
Is the tall building the SAC? I love everything about that photo. The stairs, the shadows, the light, the angles. It would be underwhelming in colour but it’s perfect in black and white.
I can’t place the last photo (which I also love). Location?
By issuing War bonds?

Mesmerisingly beautiful 🤩
TIL that irrational pi can make my heart happy 💜
Espaliered trees always look elegant and beautiful to me 💜
Beautiful morning for it 💙☀️
This is a cool article that helps explain the history. British history!

We used to have a bar in Adelaide called the Bull and Bear! 🐂 🐻
Fountain pens are beautiful 😍
Definitely an underrated experience 💜
I wonder what Satoshi thinks of this?
Did it ever cross his mind while writing his paper?
Did his revolutionary vision and creation consider this an unspoken eventuality?
Is he currently experiencing joy? Regret? Ambivalence?
Is he experiencing the dichotomy between idealism and realism? What of anarchy?
Or is he on a lonely mountain somewhere completely oblivious to, and detached from, the current state of play.
If I could magic a lunch catch up with a random person at the moment, it would be to sit down and chat with Satoshi.
I think it would be genuinely fascinating, especially in light of these events.
I’m sure I’m not the only one that’s curious! 👀
