After a very very long talk with the dr this morning I now know what happened to Linda and what had been happening to Linda for the past few months. At first neurologists thought that I had MS due to I showed all the classic symptoms however they were still very concerned because the headaches were getting worse and then all of a sudden about a month ago I started to rapidly decline to the point I was having seizures and my motor skills such as walking and talking and even thinking were fading. This is when I got put in the hospital thinking to break up the headaches however a spinal tap later landed me in ICU and I learned that what I had had was a subarachnoid hemorrhage. In kindergarten terms a brain aneurism. I still have to much pressure on the brain which when they did the spinal tap they drained fluid so the god awful headache I have now we r actually hoping is a side effect from the spinal tap and it takes about a week to go away. The problems that I was having was and is due to to the pressure pushing on my brain then of course the bleed. To say that Im very lucky to be alive would be an understatement. However due to the fact that I had one bleed I now have a life time of monitoring my head due to an aneurism can happen at any time again and I am much more likely to get them I have to watch for signs that the pressure is building back up in my head. I was told that my neuro will become my new best friend and that the stresses that I used to get so worked up over I have to learn to let go cause they now really will kill me. I used to always say u only live once so make it the best but I never really had death look at me in the face as when the dr said this morning damn Linda u know how lucky u r. I always have been the one that stresses over the little things what if.... R they... I dont want anyone mad or the yelling and the fighting well I guess this is one way to get me to say ok god ur in control cause I dont want to die. And then again this is one way to not get mad at my mom when she has something to say maybe next time Ill listen!!! Jeeze talk about a scary few weeks!!!!
