EDIT: I got the results back. I did have a small stroke, in the cerebrum, caudal to the hippocampus and cerebellum and a anaptyctic reaction to a medication. I have what looks like measles or small blister cow pox. It happened in a deep part of the brain. It was not near any of the motor cortex(no arm/leg involvement) or an ocular(eyes, occipital) involvement. As strokes go, I had a “lucky” small one, why it took a radiologist over 3 days to find it. I have already discovered some discrepancies in my short term memory and have started using techniques we used in the hospital for brain damaged and stroke patients.
Irish texted me after BearClaw got ahold of him, to let me know that CederQ had a medical emergency over the weekend.
First off, thanks to BearClaw and Irish both. These Blogs absolutely create communities.
As soon as I found out about it I called CederQ myself.
I’m no doctor so I’m not going to speculate so this is what I know.
CederQ had a spell Saturday while at his brother’s place and his brother took him to the emergency room.
He said he felt funny and the next thing he knew he was laying on his back on the floor staring up at his brother.
His brother said that he had been out for a while.
So they loaded him up in the truck and hauled him off to the ER.
Cat Scan, MRI and blood tests. He still doesn’t have the results to any of them.
He is home now and waiting on a report from the radiologist but he can’t see for shit. He says everything is real blurry.
The only way he found his phone was because BearClaw called him and he found it by following the ringing.
First thing out of his mouth when I called was “who is this?”.
So he says he can see large objects but can’t see the screen on his phone enough to read it. Same same for his computer I am assuming.
UPDATE;.
I just got off the phone with him and he says his vision has cleared up some and he can see a lot better now.
He says he’s not in any pain so that is good and that he is able to feed himself, also good.
He also says his brother comes around to check on him and take care of anything necessary.
That’s about all I know.
So please say a prayer for the ornery old cuss and let us all hope for the best. I will try and find some content and schedule some posts in the meantime so there isn’t a bunch of dead air here.
As the saying goes, you don’t what you’ve got till it’s gone, CederQ has been an invaluable help around here and has been quite prolific in his posting.
I will definitely feel his absence but my one and only concern is his well being.
Knowing him, he will be shit posting before we know it.
God Bless you man.
Thanks to all our readers and especially Bear Claw and Irish.
Cederq reminded me that the last time he had a medical emergency and went MIA for a week that it was Irish who tracked him down. Since I also found out about this recent episode from Irish, CederQ jokingly called him the clearing house for missing bloggers.
