So I lay here in the hospital bed, feel like I have been through hell and back.
Unconviced of a stroke my Neurologist continued with many tests. I have had 4 MRIs 5 Catscans 3 ecgs, 1 eeg, an ultrasound of my heart, an ultrasouind of my coradic arteries. I've had over 50 samples of indovidual blood tests. I've had many xray and contrast imagies. 2 nights ago, I was made aquaintance with my worst medical fear ever, the spinal tap. (It sucked) I've had holter monitors, I've had physio therapy oocupational therapy, and steriod therapy.
2 hours ago I finally get to know what's wrong with me. I have multiple schlorosis, and this attack that showed stroke like symptoms was the first of many possible attacks that I should come to expect. This was an attack on my brain, causing drastic weakness ans numbness on my body. An attack on my spine could mean paralysis, while an attack on My eyes would spell blindness.
There are ways to limit my chances of further attack but no guarentees.
How do I feel? I feel fantastic. Life starts now boys
It was john lennon that said that life is what happens to you while you plan for the future.
Here's a fitting poem
-------------------------------------------
The clock of life is wound but once
And no man has the power
To tell just where the hands will stop,
At late or early hour.
To lose one's wealth is sad indeed,
To lose one's health is more.
To lose one's soul is such a loss
As no man can restore.
The present only is our own.
Live, love, toil with a will.
Place no faith in 'tomorrow'
For the clock may then be still.
--------------------------------------
No matter what happens or what you believe in. Believe you are something right now. And be damn thankful to the universe that you got to be a something.
I wanted to share with you guys my thoughts. I've had a pretty rough night and am on a lot of drugs. So hopefully this actually comes out meaning something.
My love goes out to everyone. From tgis day forward, I will truly appreciate what it is to be alive and breathing.
Peace
