* Labor Day Weekend 2005( Saturday) on the way home with a brand new
car and felt tingling in my legs. Stopped at my daughters house where the
tingling felt like I had stepped on a live wire. Went to ER. Was told it
was
sciatica and given a pain pill and sent home.
Next day (Sunday) - on the golf course and this time it really felt like
two live wires that I had stepped on. Couldnt walk to my car. My husband
took me to a different ER and they had no idea what it could be. They had no
MRI machine.
Sent me to a different hospital where they called in a technician to do
an MRI. By this time I was paralyzed from the waist down so was admitted to
hosp.
Two weeks later a team of neurologists finally came up with a diagnosis
- either Transverse myelitis or a spinal cord stroke.
After 5 mos. of rehab I was finally able to walk haltingly with a walker
and now I am independent, have a power chair and can drive my own van.
