Wow, thanks everyone....I'm pretty much still in the same shape, can count to 10 or 11, but now I can hold my right arm up for a while and close my right hand all the way a time or two before it tires. That's about it. I slept until 6:30 pm and thought I was waking up really early and it wasn't light out yet.

The one thing that helped so much was the oxygen in the ambulance, I asked for it in the ER and said I couldn't breathe but she never got around to getting it for me. That walk out to the waiting room about near killed me. I'd have asked for a wheelchair but by the time I'd rounded the corner and saw the long hallway, I was about halfway in between, so I just kept going. When I got home and got out of the truck my legs just gave right out and I fell right into the snow.

I guess I was hoping the Mestonin was miraculously going to kick right in, but no so. Still exhausting to type, walk down stairs, still off balance, just a little increased strength in my right arm. I'm relieved to hear it can take a while.

I woke up many. many times during the night unable to breathe; it felt like a sleep apnea thing and was very scary and much more than I normally have. What do you make of that? Also woke up with drooling and mouth full of saliva. The sheer number of times I woke up not breathing scared me a lot.

I don't know what to do. Do I hospital hop?
