Hi all.

[jamminjerry@mastodon.stickbear.me]

@nycki96 @lerven yeah, the ones I have seen have always come out of them, and were talking fine practically right away.

[nycki96@caneandable.social]

@JamminJerry @lerven Definitely not him if he has them and definitely it was a couple hours SAturday and then I called and it was a couple hours more before they got him out of it with Ativan.

[jamminjerry@mastodon.stickbear.me]

@nycki96 @lerven now the thing that scaired the living crap out of me was when my mom had a small stroke in front of me, and I was the only one there. I had never seen something like that in my life! I did manage to get threw it, even though she didn't want me calling a squad. I respected her wishes, but man was that scairy! it was a bad enough one that it made her speach slir for several days. this was back in april of 2007 I do believe.

[nycki96@caneandable.social]

@JamminJerry @lerven Oh man. She and you are lucky it was no worse since you didn't call the ambulance. I would think a stroke is something you should really be seen for.

[jamminjerry@mastodon.stickbear.me]

@nycki96 @lerven while aI agree with you, remember how bad my mom was off too. I know she had a DNR set up, so even if we had called a squad because she could talk to me, even though it was slired, they wouldn't have taken her, and if it had been much worse, they wouldn't have been able to do much anyway with her having a DNR in place.

[nycki96@caneandable.social]

@JamminJerry @lerven Well they might have given her medicine to stop the stroke from getting worse and then rehab to help her recover the use of her body parts that suffered with the stroke. to me, I would think a DNR only applies if they stop breathing or their heart stops, you don't try to resuscitate them.

@nycki96 I hope your husband will be okay. And good luck on the exam.

[nycki96@caneandable.social]

@NightDrake Thanks. He is sitting here going through email on his phone while we watch Chicago Med.

[remixman@kind.social]

@lerven @JamminJerry @nycki96 I've gone to the hospital a number of times from those.

[nycki96@caneandable.social]

@remixman @lerven @JamminJerry Oh wow! For how long?

[jamminjerry@mastodon.stickbear.me]

@nycki96 @lerven yes that is what that means, but like I said, because she was cohearent enough to talk, and understood things said to her, they wouldn't have taken her if they showed up, and she said no.

[jamminjerry@mastodon.stickbear.me]

@nycki96 @lerven had she not been alert, and not able to talk, you bet your ass I would have called them like I did in october of that same year, and from what I was told by her brother, had I waited another 5 minutes she would ahve died. that time she had 300 pounds of water in her body, her oxigin levil was either 45 or 47 percent, and she had walking namonia. we didn't know what was wrong at the time though.

[nycki96@caneandable.social]

@JamminJerry @lerven Oh yes, that's true. They wouldn't have. Merv wasn't, so he couldn't refuse.

[remixman@kind.social]

@nycki96 @lerven @JamminJerry A day or two. I go every few months for follow-up appointments, EEGs, etc.

[nightdrake@dragonscave.space]

@nycki96 Not a bad way to spend the day. Give him my regards please. *hugs*

[jmd2000@fwoof.space]

@NightDrake @nycki96 I'll never forget, last october I had a seizure right in front of my wife, and I'm pretty sure I almost gave her a heart attack. Luckily, after it past I was ok. At least it wasn't like 2024, I had a seizure in the back of a Lyft while I was going home, and I woke up in the hospital with a dislocated shoulder. It hurt like hell when they put it back in the socket.

[lynn@mastodon.stickbear.me]

@nycki96 Glad he is home again. What a weekend you both had.

[nycki96@caneandable.social]

@NightDrake I will.

[nycki96@caneandable.social]

@Jmd2000 @NightDrake It's always scary whenever he has them.

[nycki96@caneandable.social]

@Lynn Yes we sure did.
