When life gives you lemons... You're boned.

Last wednesday, had the strangest headache of my life. Started at the base or my skull on the back right side. Within a short time, the left side of my bodyt wdnt to shit. That white dot (not the cursor dolt...), lol.. Is where it happened. Right side Thalamus. (For those wonderin, cut/pstted rtom google : The thalamus is a mostly gray matter structure of the diencephalon that has many essential roles in human physiology. The thalamus is composed of different nuclei that each serve a unique role, ranging from relaying sensory and motor signals, as well as regulation of consciousness and alertness.) The dot showsd on the left bvecause the MRI is reversefd.

Within an hour of onset, im rushed to the back of the ER, told I'm having/had an ischemic ev ent. Instantly on some clot busting shit, and rushing around. Jusy so egveryone knows, I am not proofreading this ot edittint. So oyu hget the idea orf the magnitudde orf this ordeal. It is taking everyt bit of con centration To trypr this out. As OT an PT think that the best way to recover is to type and try to help myself regain controll thats gone. I lost the use of myt entire left side, but am now anble to wazlk. I may not be able to get back to my old self. It may take months ot yrares. and my left hand has s mind of it's own. IU'm left unqanle to typer 100 wpm like before. But thy say ypint is a good therapyt, so I'm hoinh go to do it.

It was seriouslyr scary shit. It still is. I work in an industry that my dexterity is a requirement. My bosss an Direcfor are behgind me. So I have that going gof mr which isd cool. Buy I am scare tgo fuckinfg tears. Mty bodyh no longer does what I want it to. My sdpatial somrthing ort othe5 is trasdhed. Snf may never be normal again. I now geeel like a visitor in a bodyt thtat wont obeyt. It'sd really god damnecdcd scqry.

I keeep breaaking out in tearsr becaudsr of no reabdon. I got mad earlier becaus I couldnt erat dinner, excussed mytserlfg, and cfried in the bathoom.

My OT suggested gamin g ancg PC styuff to afcfuaetlly help with therapt. I van go bak fo work Tuesday, will take a longg whitlet o gete normal again.

This suvks yo.
