I was in the salon chair, getting a Dominican blowout in Brooklyn. Two hours from my meeting with my publisher.
Suddenly lost all vision in my left eye. Dizzy. Sounds became distant. Could barely remember my name. Seeing stars. Passing out….
Stylist called 911. Ambulance. Emergency room.
Missed my meeting.
Could be a very bad migraine. Not sure yet. Writing this from my hospital bed on my android. A woman wretches to my left. On my right, another woman soils her pants. Both are old, with loving sons at their sides. One woman groans in Russian. The other groans in Italian.
Life is funny. Unpredictable. Scary.
On the bright side I now know what suffering sounds like in a dozen new languages, and the Ukrainian nurse loves my cowgirl boots…she says she wants to move to Colorado.
You haven’t really lived until you’ve thought you were dying in a NYC emergency room….
I hope you’re alright! I’ll keep you in my prayers. I know life can throw us for a loop now and then. Here’s to hoping all turns out okay.
You are in my thoughts and prayers!
I’m so sorry you’re going through this, Alisa! You’re most definitely in my prayers! Be well!!!
Really hoping you get better son Alisa!! Praying for your speedy recovery.
Sending thoughts and prayers from Nebraska. Take care of yourself and get well soon!

Hope it was nothing serious and you will be out and about and healthy as a, well, a horse, soon! Keep us posted.
Awe you poor thing! Hope you feel better soon Mija!!
I pray that God’s healing hand rests upon you, and guides the hearts and minds of all the doctor, nurses and technicians who are there to both help and heal you. Also my prayers for all of those who you love, and all of those who love you too, that they are upheld and comforted during this time. Hope you feel better soon! Nanny
Sending you hugs & wishes for a speedy recovery

Get well, sugar. All the best – praying for you.
Thinking of you and holding you up in prayer…that all will be ok:)
You’re in my thoughts and prayers and in good hands. Angels are watching over you. Feel better soon.
It has been a few days since this post appeared……I was wondering if anyone had an update on how Alisa is doing! We all care a great deal and are hopefull that all is well.
I’ve been wondering, too. Any news?
FYI: She posted on her Facebook that she is flying back from NYC- she is ok!
I am so glad to hear you are ok. Since I am a lapsed Facebooker, you must post your status on your blog as well. I was preparing to stalk you via my ranching friends in New Mexico to see if you were ok until I read the last post. Peace always, Heather
Hope you get well soon!
