It’s always something
| As if my life could not get any crazier, last Friday night I had a weird occurance. Suddenly at dinner I became very spaced out (more than usual) and the next thing I knew I wasn’t even aware of anything around me, including the fact that I was holding The Cuteness. I would look down, and think, “Oh, I didn’t know I was holding him.” I was dizzy, and tingly, and my head started to hurt.As the next few hours progressed, it got worse, with me sitting in a daze, yet still functional, trying to decipher whether the thoughts going through my head were part of a dream I had, yet I hadn’t been asleep to dream, or if they were things that had in fact happened. And scarier still, I couldn’t remember what my husband had told me five minutes earlier. At least not without prompting.I didn’t go to the ER. I wasn’t able to make any decisions, and since my husband asked me what we should do, of course I said, “Let’s just wait it out.” So we did, and I came out of it, and took an Aleve for the headache, and it went away in a few hours.The next morning I felt physically better, but just kept thinking, “What the heck was all that?” I seriously felt very freaked out. After my husband got home that morning from meeting with a guy from church, he mentioned he had talked to him about the previous night’s happenings and this guy said it sounded like a mini stroke. I said, “What?! I’m thirty years old. I don’t even know what that is.”
I hopped on my trusty internet, and looked it up. Sure enough I had most of the symptoms. And the more I read, the more I think I should’ve gone to the ER. Monday morning I went to the Dr., and while she couldn’t say for sure, she acted very skeptical that it had anything to do with the migraines I sometimes get, and that’s what the headache felt like that night. She seemed very concerned and agreed it did sound stroke like.She instructed me to take baby aspirin, ordered an MRI, and blood work and now we wait. I am beyond freaked out. Part of me thinks back to that night and wonders if it really happened. Bits and pieces are missing. I’m still dizzy and I feel like my brain is slow to remember some things, more than usual. You know when you wake up and you have to decipher all your dream thoughts from your real thoughts? That’s how it was that night for me. It’s just hard to explain. So if anyone out there has had any experience with this, please leave a comment. I know these things can happen to younger people, I’ve just never known anyone in that circumstance. I’ll update on this later, when I know more. |
