Where Have I Been
 
Hey..How Are you all?

Well last Thursday I took a fall down my stairs....They asked how many stairs I fell......I said there is approximately 13 stairs in the average home....How does 11 sound.....Broke my finger...Almost broke my wrist....Its still swollen silly.....Was knocked out for a short few....Did more damage to that fragile spine of mine....Came close to breaking my cheek bone...Had a mild concussion...Big woop.....Black n blues and other fun stuff too:eek:

I freaked out on Monday when I had a follow up....Why did I freak out? Awesome question I can't answer....If I was a women I would have to say Aunt Flo was a visiting...But...I sit here a male....and Aunt Flo is only related to Tasha.....

But I made up the Appt today....I found out there was much more damage..I don't know the proper term to use.....The was more lesions...white spots in my brain...........It was also noted that the nerve connections are not getting thru.......For 3 visits I have 1 not moved or wiggled my foot toes etc......2 The doc would touch a foot and I unknowingly identified the wrong one..........And I cant follow the pencil then touch my nose....That one reminds me of the dance of death.....Anyone who has been stopped for dui knows what I mean,,,I think......

But the weird thing was today...My right side had zero reflexes...None....Like tapping on a dead man...Left side had slight........

Now....I have been told MS has hyper reflexes......Honestly..I couldn't really feel the tapping of that little hammer....But I kept that to myself......


I told him he gained my trust...For now....And I will let him set up a team/ a plan for treatment.........He wants to see me once a month....But August is a wash...He has no openings......

He also is having a safety eval of my house done.....What is that?


Well If you have not missed me I'm back...If you did...Lets put some Buffett on and have a stiff drink:hug:

Ouch Pete......Im sorry you fell.:( But I am glad that maybe someone
is in your corner.:)

I hope they finally gave you something for the pain because that all
sounds pretty painful.

Before you know it you will be on the mend.:hug::hug:

Take care of yourself and be careful around the stairs;)

sounds really good. Cheers~!!!!:D

Gosh, you poor thing. I certainly empathise with you, me being the Queen of falls and fractures and in one of my more dramatic falls I gave myself a King sized concussion so I have a good idea what you've been through.

I'm thankful that you didn't do any more damage than you did, but Gee Wizz, that was bad enough. Sending very gentle hugs your way and hoping that you soon feel better. :hug:

Sorry to hear about your fall and hope you make a quick recovery. My BIL is a parrothead. He even has a parrot tattoo on his leg. I have seen Buffet in concert three times, but it has been awhile.
