Head Bonking

The end.

(I'll wrote again when I have something to writne about or when I can write without loowing stupie. whichever comese first. Promise. )

thankls again for the wishes and comements. You guys are great. I'm reading you r blots, but don'w twant to comment for fear that your oher readers will think you have an ideio t for a friend.

Oh- and Stew? Way to show restraint- you must be chewint at your fingers to keep from teawsing me! xoxo

The neurologist disagrees with teh ER doctors evaluation that I was having seizures. I *TOLD* them so- I should know seizures, because my brother has epilepsy.

She thinks the jolting and jerking around have several causes. She suspects a spinal injury, so I have an MRI on Monday. She said that my having numb and tingly hands and feet were her ifst indication. She also said that her spinal ingury patients have told her that they feel electrical jolts- shich is exactly what I'm feeling. The jolts scare me and send me into a wrired cycle of more jolts. It's just weird.

She also said that the combination of meds that my regular doctor put me on ALSO have been know to cause jerking, so the two together might be causing the violen reactions. I need to talk to my doctor about getting off the meds. Pronto. Even if all that activity is making me lose weight. ::kidding::

Finally- the fuzzy brain stuff (and extremely bad typing) are concussion related. I also am having really bad memory problems. Eveything feels like a dream (a bad one, at that) to me. I keep asking BER if this or that really happeende.

I also keep asking the same questions over and over again. In fact, I'm not really sure I have everything the doctor said correct here. So there. Maybe she said I should amputate my brain. Who knows...

What I do remember for sure is that she said I should feel back to normal within a few months, and the weird way I am talking and typing will go away pretty soon.

So, there you have it. I'll know more on Monday. Well, probably not. The MRI people probably won't tell me a thing.

But I feel that all of this is good news.

Thank you everyon for your concern and thoughts. I hope you don't mind if I don't reply to your comments for a few days. It takes me a long time ot type because things jut aren't tracking very well right now. I really am thankful for you all.

I've learned that if I type really slow, I don't make as many mistakes.

I have an appointment with a neurologist at 9am today, so hopefully will have a lot of answers. This is the weirdest feeling. It takes me a while to rembmeber events from yesterday and even then I'm not sure if it was real or a dream. It's all fuzzy.

I've also found that when someone touches me, it sets off the twitching. I had a hard time lseeping last night because I couldn't stop twitching and my stomach feels like I've done a thousand situps. It all seems to start in my midsection and go out from there.

BER told me to not take the dilantin before the doctors appoinmtne this morning since the appointmen is so ealryl. He thinks it's best for the docotr to see the full effects. I think he's right.

On the plus side, I've lost three lbounds since this started from all the activity. ha ha.

I think I'm still having seizures, but they've very little kinds. I really can't describe them, but it's more of a slight jerking around, mostly in my houlders and head. It kind of reminds me of Michael Fox. I kind of look like that.

My mom told me that I'm going to look back at what I've written to her and laugh because I'm not my usualy good typist. Even spell checkc isn't helping me very much, buecause It's not making a whole lot of sense to me.

Now I know what being dumb feels like I guess. I'm just going to go with it and yope that you understand what I'm writing. It's probably a good idea to keep a record for the doctor anyway.

Gah- I hope this isn't permanent.

Net time I bop my head, please forcem e to go to the doctor, will you? I'm so stupid.

When I was in the observation room before seeing the doctor, there was another woman and her mother in the room. The mother (who later said that she was a nurs) kept rying o find a doctor for me because she said I was having seizures. The nurse told her that I wasn't having seizures. All I know was that I tensed up so much aht I almost broke the feet of the whellchari. Eventually the lady and her mom left teh hospoital bacause of the care (or lack of) I was getting. BER said that he never wants to go to that hospital again because they were ignoring me for so long.

I ohpe this goes away soon. It's veyer annoying to have to keep retyping things because is'ts not coming out right. Maybe I should just stop.

I took the day off from work today, so that’s a good sign that all things aren’t right in my head. (it’s a joke, people)

I slept for a solid 16 hours and feel beaten down today. I don’t remember a lot about yesterday, in fact don’t even remember posting until I went to post this. Wow- posting while not totally conscious- that’s dedication.

Today I feel super ‘foggy’ and am really thankful for spell check.

The only person I remember talking to yesterday is Cosy , but apparently I called my parents and my boss too. AND, wrote in my blog. Wow.

Today I keep getting what I call ‘zingers’. You know when you get those involuntary shivers that happen just once? That is happening to me frequently. My right hand is trembling just a teeny bit and I don’t think I’m seeing double. I can’t tell.

The neurologist’s office just called to make an appointment with me for tomorrow at 9am, so hopefully I’ll have more information then.

I can’t stop crying- and I don’t know if it’s because I’m scared or it’s just a weird symptom of what’s going on.

I don’t look very pretty today, that’s for sure.

Good thing I can’t drive- or I’d probably cause lots of accidents.

See? I can be funny even when I have weird and scary things going on.
