So, I have had a crazy week. I hav been thinking about blogging, but not sure what to say. I haven't wanted to worry anone needlessly, but I am up late because of tornado warnings and thought I would just go ahead and post.
Exactly a week ago I was sitting at my Mom's house posting about our wonderful Easter. We stayed the night at my Mom's house. Joe went to work and I slept in. When I woke up I checked my email and my Tm stuff. I answered a few and posted a little and then as if a switch had been flipped I couldn't read. I could at that point, see just fine, but th words didn't make sense. It was like I didn't know how to read. I got a little panicky and went and got my sister. By this point I was a little lost. I couldn't see very well and was having a very hard time talking. It was like there was a disconnect from my head to my mouth. Then my right arm went numb. My Mom and sister decided I needed to go to the er. On the way to the hospital it kind of went away and then came back two more times in the car. Each time lasting 5-10 minutes. The last time in the car was the worst. The right side of my face went numb. It was so weird. half my tongue, half my mouth, half my face was numb. My right arm was completley numb and my heart felt like it was racing. It was awful and so scary. I didn't get a Ct scan or an MRI for a good two hours after the last "episode". I was realesed eight hours later. The Dr. said he wasn't really sure what happened. They didn't see any signs of a stroke in my scans. But, the first Dr. who treated me in the ER wrote "stroke protacal" on my chart. The Dr. that released me said I needed to see a neurologist because he wasn't sure what to do and I was stable. He was honest enough to say if it was a heart attack or a gunshot wound it would be more up his alley, but this was outside of his payscale. At the time I wanted to strangle him for saying that. But, now I really appreciate that he wasn't so full of himself that he could admit he didn't know and he didn't give me some guess that would stop us from trying to figure out what really happened.
So, thanks to my Mom and Kelli I have an appointment with a specialist in neurology on Wed. When I was pregnant with Bella I found out I have a Chari malformation. Basically, it means part of my brain hangs down in my neck a little and can put pressure on my spinal column. There is a good chance that this is the cause of what happened. I have spent the week being scared. I have been really overwhelmed by how great everyone has been. If nothing else this has shown me that I hav a lot of pople in my life that love me and I am truly thankful for all of them. I know I have actd a little cranky and a littl grumpy to some people this past week and I am really sorry. i am just frustrated and scared and it's comming out as grumpy. I am so grateful for everyone's support right now. hopefully, after my Dr.'s appointment on Wed. I will post that is was nothing just a fluke.
