Hey guys, back home and ok. Still not sure what happened. I had stroke like/anyrism symptoms but after MRI, CAT, echo cardio and lots of blood work I'm in the clear.
I started losing my vision over fifteen minutes to the point of blindness. I hoped it was just my blood pressure and did a full recline but it did not improve, in fact it got much worse.
I started losing my ability to speak, felt numb, lost hearing and the ability comprehend simple ideas and conversation...and horrible migraine.
I managed to SIRI dial my mom before I was a vegitable, she called the amberlamps.
I am very happy to be ok, but unnerved that we could not find the cause...
I have really good news of a different sort that will get posted tomorrow.
Thx for concern guys!

In hospital, went blind, ok now

Anyone else on here and I would say they need to dial back their internet porn.:teeth
Glad to here you are back home. I know first hand how scary random debilitating symptoms can be. My hearing went away like somebody just shut the radio off, confusion, memory lose, sensitivity to light, etc. ..
Similar tests you went through, all came back fine. Finally diagnosed with Post Concussive Syndrome. It happened a full year after my accident.:wtf
My brain slowly rewired itself and do pretty good now(just as goofy as before!).
Did you receive a concussion in your crash? They didn't check me because I was complaining about internal/back pain.
Wishing you the best Adam!

Very cool!
Glad to hear no concussion. Hope you find out what caused your system to crash.
All the best, DT

The rehab goes well. I feel much stronger in the upper body. One of the coolest things I've been doing is FES (functional electric stim). We hook it up all over and I dance like a puppet. I can even do crunches with it. I highly recommend this program to anyone recovering from a neurological injury! Plus the trainers are hawt:twofinger

Bed is epic! I currently have another sore, but due to bad care. The bed keeps me sane. Being vertical is great and what's more ill be able to do it every day soon! Some good friends raised the imoney for a standing frame. It's good for bones, circulation overall strenght and balance. We are also planning to rip out the bathtub and put in a roll in shower. That way I can have showers.
If you can believe it I have had one shower in over a year.:wtf

Its low. Im short.
Did you get your shower yet? I was in the hospital a few years ago on complete bed rest. No shower for 2 weeks. The day I got a shower was the best day every. Sponge baths just weren't cutting it. :)
