A Very Scary Day

So let me put it out there first that I am pretty sure I am okay now.

Thursday morning all was well. I actually had a little burst of energy and had the floors vacuumed before even taking the boys to school. I was talking to Ben about his night at work as I was mopping the floor. All the sudden I got dizzy. This isn't real unusual. I thought I would just stand still for a minute and it would pass like usual. It didn't. I laid down getting even dizzier. Then my right side started going numb! My ENTIRE right side! I was scared. Ben was scared. We thought I was having a stroke. He called 911 and they were there in just a few minutes. (Nice to know they have great response time.)

I was pretty annoyed while at the hospital because it didn't seem like they were doing anything. Which they weren't. I kept getting nauseated and they were treating that but didn't seem to care that I couldn't feel my entire right side! Kept asking me to walk to places for tests. Thier communication was HORRIBLE. Let me just put it out there that it was NOT Tripler. It was the local hospital in Ewa. Finally after a few hours I could feel tingling again. They took blood, ran a CT scan and everything came back clear. Just an odd migraine. The migraine then continued for about 2 days! My poor husband! Thank goodness he was off, sleep deprived but off. He took care of the boys and I was worthless for 2 days. Thank you baby!

The scary part to me is that there was no warning. What would I have done if Ben wasn't here? I have to see my doctor Monday to get a referral to neuro. I am also going to go to a chiropractor. My neck has always had alignment issues from an accident when I was young.

The other concerning part is that I am having some memory issues. I am opening the wrong cabinets in my own kitchen. Can't remember names of people I see regularly. Not sure if my brain is just taking time to recover but it worries me. I actually noticed some memory things prior to this event but now it is much worse. I just started having migraines in July so not even sure of what triggered them. Think I am going to insist on a full look over. I will keep you all posted.
