I had to watch my health and how I felt
Well he was right
Tue morning I felt a little "Off" so I stayed around the house
A little before noon I had a short but super bad headacke and it sounded like a buzz in my head
After that I got up and gould amost not walk , my right side didn't want to work
My lips were numb , I couldn't write clearly or talk right
So off to the ER
Got there a little after 12:30 PM ....filled out 1 form and they took me into a ER room
Blood pressure was 150's over 90 something sitting down
High 180's over 120 standing
Sent to get a CT quick
Every 10 to 15 min I felt sick and wanted to pitch my cookies
I got something to help with that , but not enough of the drug
As every time I felt like pitching my cookies , I would sweet so bad the sweet would run off me
So they gave me the max amount and that helped ,but I still was pitching my cookies every once in a while
They wanted to watch my pulse , blood presure and breathing
So they put stickers on my chest , every time I would start sweeting
They all fell off , I went through most of a box of them before I got to a room
Pulse rate normaly mid to upper 60's
But sometimes it droped to 20-25 for a min or jump up to 120's for few min
Breaths was normaly 30ish
But I would sometimes drop to 1 or 2 for min or jump up tp 50+ for a min
I came in with a 295 blood sugar
I got a couple of meds to stabilize my breathing , blood sugar and pulse
I got to the ER a little after 12:30 PM , finaly got to a room a little after 9:30 PM Tue evening
I was suposed to have several tests Wen early and then get lunch
Finaly got the 3 tests Wen evening and then had a late!!!! supper ....like 8:30 PM
They tested my blood sugar just before I ate , still up and 275 after no eating for 36+ hours
Thur I had another CT and a cest Xray and was put on a new blood pressure med ( now 110 to 130 over 58-60) and a blood sugar med
Friday I got a head and neck MRI and they found 2 small bleeds , in the same area that I smashed up the last day of 2011
Also with contrast ( made me turn red LOL )
So I did have 1 or 2 small strokes
I also had a EEG and it showed I was having seizers in my brain and with the brain injurey before , I my have a lot more of them
So Sunday around noon I got sent home
So I was put on a anti sizure med to controll the munber and how bad they will be ( side efects are a long list of not so fun things that can happen )
In 6 weeks I go in to see that doctor for more tests and maybe more meds and long term maybe a opperation to controll the damaged part of my brain
I was put on a new Blood pressure Med and have to check it every morning
In 8 weeks I see a doctor to see if the new meds are working
I was put blood sugar pill and have to take my blood sugar every morning , in 2 weeks I see a doctor to see if more is needed to be done
I hope the pill takes care of the blood sugar
I don't realy wany to geive myself shots 3X times a day fo the rest of my life
It was recomended to me , treestands are not a wise choice for at least 6 weeks
So Most of the deer hunting I will be doing for that long ,will be from a ground blind
As I might no be able to get out of a treestand if I have another stroke
I am not looking for a pitty party
I just wanted the rest of you to know how easy your life could be totaly screwed up
As I felt fine up till I had the stroke
Doc said they tested my H1C and it showed a slightly high blood sugar the last 30 days , but not anywhere close to what I had Tue when I got to the ER
So that is another thing they are going to look into
FUN FUN FUN :smiley_blackeye:
