Head Bonking

Poor BER, he's really been through it. I can't imagine having to watch someone I love do the things I've been doing.

He asked me how I was today and I told him that I feel less foggy. I think I'm thinking more clearly now and I can certainly type better- although only if I go really slow.

This drug the doctor has me on knocks me on my butt. I feel like I have a hangover until sometime in thte afternoon. I ought to be really effective at work next week, eh? Yes- the doc said it's best that I try to keep my mind active, so working is the best think for me. I shudder to think about what I'll be producing.

Anyhoo- he told em that today was the first time he's seen me smile since all of this started, and that made him really happy. Gah- I really love that man.

I've profusedly thanked him over and over again every day (and every hour) fro being so kind and gentle wiht me. He keeps telling me to stop thaking him, and last night said, "put the shoe on the other foot. If it was me going through this, how sould you treat me?"

I told him that i'd drop hom like a hot potato.

That sweet man deserves a medal.

Bless his heart- he's been SO good to me. I guess the pool boy has gotta go. ::snort::

I'm watchint a movie right now about a girl who was possessed. I told BER that this is probalby my problem. All that jerking around and wtuff she's doing lookw way too familiar.

I alwo told him that I think it's kinf of finny that he married a smart chubby girl, and now he's married to a dummy with a nice body. I think he prevers the smart churbby version- truth be told.

Really- we both know I'll get betetr, and I'm not really dumb- just sound that way- so we're doing our best to keep our senese of humor in this house. OK- he doesnt' think I'm very funny, but I do. And we all know that it's my opoinion that counts.

And? the tremors are dying down- as well as the jolting around. I'm on Klonipin (sp?) for 10 days, and seems that this is doing a good job of stopping all the movement. I guess RG's guide to weightloss through jerking around will come to al halt. Bummer. I'd better at least get a six pack out or this.

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.
