Admin on another site was driving on the 401 when all of a sudden he blacked out and hit the gaurd rail. Police on site charged him with DUI etc.
It happened again. It happened at work. He would just be fatigued all of a sudden and pass out. After some scans they found a tumor in his brain, one they cant cut out. He is medicated, it is shrinking in size. Once the tumor started to shrink he changed, his personality, way he spoke and carried himself all changed. His wife and him divorced, he changed friends etc. He actually seemed a lot better. Either way, cant mess with the melon. I am glad you are ok. Wicked staples..ouch! Do the staples grow out or do they pull them out? Did it all hurt? How did you find out? |

They had me on steroids to keep the brain swelling in check, but they made my heart race and along with the pain made it even more difficult to sleep. I had a container of oxycodones I was eating like skittles and it still hurt really badly. I was so afraid of running out of those little guys and finding out just how bad it really was. I was badly and suddenly weakened by the surgery and went from being able to run and lift weights at the gym to having to have someone bathe me. After several days I tried to brush my teeth but couldn't. I couldn't stand and definitely couldn't lean over because of the pressure in my head. I was on my knees with my chest against the sink to prop myself up. I had to stop a couple of times to catch my breath because I got winded just brushing my teeth. Brain stuff is weird to fool with. I had absolutely no idea it could effect me the way it did. For this reason I would never go without a rollbar and definitely wouldn't use it without the padding.

I'm sorry to hear this but I'm glad you are ok. Good thing you went to get it checked. I'm sure alot of people would have ignored it, only for it to kill them.
My nan recently had a stroke and it can do some really weird things. They thought she was going to die but after 3 months she is out and can go through her normal life pretty well. It is amazing what the human body can go through. |

My nan recently had a stroke and it can do some really weird things. They thought she was going to die but after 3 months she is out and can go through her normal life pretty well. It is amazing what the human body can go through. She was stuck in a hospital for a year, rotting. It was odd. We would visit and she would hold my now wifes hand and always check for the ring. She couldn't talk, she was in pain. I actually spent that last few months hoping she would stop suffering. The said she restroked a few times while semi recovering. It was a disaster I will tell you that. My family spent thousands commuting. My mother was a disaster. My sister who was literally on a plane ready for departure was escorted off the plane as we caught it just in time, she was moving out west. You never know. As you get older you realize how fragile things are like the heart, the brain, kidneys and eyes. I remember being 17 and being semi retarded on my BMX, or getting into fights. I look back and think wow, how lucky was i. Now I have a son. A pressure to be healthy is here. I eat like ---- so I am trying to change that. Glad you are ok. The brain is almost magical, friggen epicenter of your body. How long ago did this all happen? |
my great aunt had a stroke 2 days before i graduated high school. they didnt tell me till after the graduation was all said and done, needless to say i was pissed but understood. shes in a stroke specific nursing home and doing much better now. (btw shes in her early 70's) she can talk but only say a few words but knows what she wants to say and get disappointed when she cant get her thoughts out.
My grandfather had a series of heart attacks, a stroke and a lung collapse in about 6 months. the doctors gave him a month, that was 2 years ago and now he comes and kicks it in the garage with me frequently. all and all bad stuff happens the healing is comes with time and keeping the patient's hopes up, when they give up its all over. :sad2: |
