G'day Ron,
I had a few MRI's apparently, as other wires stuck all over my self, hurts
danged to get them off the hair again <g>, and CT scans, but there was too
blood in my brain for them to see where the bleed came from. But a bonus is
that looks like my lungs, kidneys, bladder, heart and blah blah of other organs
seem to be in pretty good shape. I am not old of course being only 65, but I
am pretty good it looks like it. Another MRI in a couple of weeks, this may
show my brain again, if it's still there <g>.
Google is a wonder of thing, it helps me writing and spelling and remembering
words, with not all letters give all words unfortunately. I was normal once,
now I am a numpty for a while now...LOL.
I think I said that I could have been a lot worse seemingly, but I definitely
believe my daily silver regimen done good something over years. They gave me
Epilepsy drug just in case I had any seizures, but I didn't have any seizures,
so I binned one tablet a few days ago because they were doing my head in. Told
the Doc later on and he said OK, but I must take that last one at night until I
have my MRI, then I am going to bin that tablet regardless what another Doc
says. But I think he will say OK anyway.
I feel I am in perfect shape I reckon, nothing at all physical, exempt my brain
has gone for a little workabout for a while <g>. I had no idea at the time,
other than my speech went funny, although I probably talk funny anyway some
would say <g>, but pressure was over 200 to 230 apparently, and then a roller
coast for several hours up and down, that is why they chucked me on the Royal
Flying Doctor Service plane to fly me to the City hospital. There was nothing
to indicate me anything was wrong, I was doing my lock picking hobby in the
morning, but one of my daughters txt me on Fathers Day and just new something
was not right, I would have just stayed home otherwise. It's funny how our
body works? The human body is a fine tuned machine, and is not to be messed
with I guess, hence I will *still* never stop my daily silver.
Glad to hear you are now OK Ron. This could happen with anyone, regardless.

Hi Neville,
Of course CS had nothing to do with the hematoma .
In May of this year I had a strange feeling in my left hand.
I ignored it for a couple of days but when I noticed a slight loss
in dexterity I went to the doc who decided to play it safe and get
me an MRI of the brain.
After the MRI they shuttled me right into emergency. Seems I had a
brain bleed (subdural hematoma).
It was very very small but I was admitted for CT scans and after a
couple of days I was speaking to a counselor about getting out of
there when in mid speech I suddenly became incoherent and I'm told
that my left face drooped. Next thing I new I was back on the gurney
with throwing up type convulsions that lasted for 5 minutes or so.
Anyhow after 3 more days and a final CT scan they discharged me. I
had no symptoms.
9 days later another CT scan showed the clot was almost gone and I
am fine today. As I said it was a very small bleed.
What caused it? I am pretty certain that it was a morning I had dry
heaves and was sticking my finger down my throat to feel better that
put a lot of pressure up there.
I do not take CS on a regular basis so absolutely not a factor.
You seem to be doing pretty good as it is but I'm sure that as the
brain heals you will be back to normal.
Best wishes,
Ron
