Little over a week ago I woke up in the middle of the night with my head spinning and needing to throw up really bad. The back of my head was hurting and I thought maybe I had just eaten something bad. I was a bit dizzy but didn't really think anything about it. I went back to bed and woke up the next day feeling a bit nauseous and went about my day. That night I again went to bed after throwing up again a few more times. Around 11:30 Wednesday night I woke up super dizzy and had to throw up really bad. I tried to run to the bathroom and fell on my way there. My right side of my face was numb and I couldn't walk straight. I laid back down and around 1 am got up and felt even worse. I went to the ER and was hospitalized. I found out that I had several mini strokes and that the right side of my brain wasn't getting enough oxygen. Doctors did so many tests and after a week of being in the hospital I was sent home with no answers as to why this happened. I'm 38 yrs old and I now can't walk without assistance. My right side of my face and head are completely numb and my vision in my right eye seems to being getting worse. I have been home since Thursday and doctors said that I should be somewhat better, but I'm not. They don't know if I will get better or if things will be like this forever. I can't work or drive anymore. To say that things are frustrating is an understatement. I really have no idea how long this will last. They say it can take days or years to heal. I missed my daughter's 13th birthday because of this. I feel horrible and I have always been a super independant woman. To have that taken from me is scary. I've never relied on anyone in my life. Now I need people all around me to help me walk, and see things. I can't swallow properly. I just wish things would get better. I don't want to be this way forever.
