It's a Colapse

| | Comments (0)

Ohh boy, yesterday (the segway into this moment which is the day after) is a very interesting one.

I come back to work, all good, then, oddly, my breathing is weird. Ok, it has happened before, but now my leg is not as responsive. I think it's just the casual limp, try to lift the leg, and it doesn't obey. I walk a bit more, make a joke about my legs not working, and then fall into the floor.

So, there I was, fallen into the floor, weak, dizzy, warm, tingly, crying rivers. I try to lift myself, but just slump back down. I semi-vomit, there is no strong pain, but I'm completelly fallen apart.

So now there's a scene. I'm laying in the floor, with all this weird things happening to me, on top of twiching, a bunch. They call 911. I start getting better, it's a few minutes later. They paramedics were nice, but wished I would shut up, well at least one did, because I kept talking. I was still getting back into my senses in the ride to the hospital.

I stabilized. I then waited a bit, they did numerous bloodwork, EKG, and were constantly monitoring me, and seeing if I had balance, strenght in the limbs, and various rests to see my reflexes and nervous systems. Everything comes back ok. Ohh, and the pneumonia cleared up decently, they did another X-ray and it showed that.

So now, I've colapsed, and there is no asnwer why it happened. The doctors discussed that it might be a reaction to my Antibiotics (Biaxin), it might have been something I ate, or a weird inbalance of things like potassium and such in the system. They said it's also my body showing that it's still recoving from pneumonia. It might be related to my nervous system, or due to stress. It might be a mix.

I gotta say. The losing feeling in the leg, and going down was the weirdest feeling in the world. I had no control over things, and had people around me, all with a slight look of panic in their faces. It's something that's not going to go away. Three managers, and a bunch of staff all around me, watching me in such a poor state.

It sure was an experience, that I hope to never ever have to deal with again.
