tHello Friends,and Members.
I am writing you guys this pm because last night i did have a tragedy within my own life.
Last night i got rushed to the hospital, due to the fact that i was watching the TV and suddenly i almost fainted and my right side did no longer listen to my body.
I felt like was standing with one leg here and the other leg somewhere else.
After the paramedics came in my house they did see that i did have a blood pressure WAY over 220/112, and they directly shipped me to the hospital.
It turned out that i either have have a hart problem and surely did have a TIA (Minor stroke) I am now 33 years old and have a son of 6 months and as you probably guessed i have no desire to die just yet.
So after the shock of what happened to me, i have to face the fact that a TIA 9 out of 10 times is a prelude to a much more severe full stroke. Obviously this is not a given fact, but statistics are statisics.
That said right now i am at home (Just got here) and i have to wait 2 hours before i can see my normal doctor, as silly me did not want to stay at the hospital (which i should for the next 24 hours) but frankly speaking i am to chicken to be there all by my self while my wife and little kid are at home (They could not comewith me) so after being in the hospital i took the DUMB decision to ask the doctor to release me as the hospital did drive me nuts keep in mind i am a big guy, but this really did freak me out on so many levels that i could not find the strenght to suck it up and stay in the hospital.
And yes do realise that i took a VERY big risk doing so.
Call me crazy and reckless but i have my reasons not to be there because i wanted to be with my wife and kid.
Obviously the doctor did not release me, i needed to seriously face facts and he only did release me because i was full hardy and he did only release me under the strict rule that if anything happens 911 (112 here) would be called and that i see my personal doctor first thing and that i participate 100% in the following program or he would break my legs just to make sure i would stay at the hospital.
Anyway the reason i write this, a TIA is a very dangerous thing, it is harmless when it happens, but the after effects are not harmless, right now i have a clear mind and can write you this but i cannot guarantee that this will remain the same within the next days as the after effects still can kick in even days after the event.
I was already not much online, but i fear that its going to take a bit longer before i can be online again.
Just letting you know,
PS: I am aware that this is the wrong section, but dunno where to post this, secondly this is personal news and it should offically not being posted here, but some of you guys talk to me day in day out so hence why i posted this.
Kind Regards Nico
