No, my parents weren't even in the States back then
I arrived, and she asked if I was feeling okay. I tried to explain everything—using my hands, gesturing wildly, doing whatever I could—because it was pretty obvious I wasn't speaking clearly at all I was stumbling along, too; my gait was definitely a little off She figured it was just a massive migraine, mostly because she noticed I had one right after the episode hit... So she told me, "Look, I’d leave you here in the hospital if I could, but since there's nobody here to sign off on anything, you should go see your doctor to get some referrals and start getting checked out properly"
Honestly, why would I even mess around with that? I mean, I can't imagine being paralyzed, and I'm way too young to be dealing with a stroke. Even if it did happen, I’d probably just slip into a coma or pass away on the spot anyway. It’s funny how you all find my outlook so strange. I try to look at the bright side. Sure, I’m sick, and maybe it’s something serious, but I truly believe everything happens for a reason. Tomorrow is my last day of my internship, so I'll head straight to the ER after that. And listen... even if it turns out to be a tumor or something equally scary, don't worry about me. I'm not afraid.
I haven't really dealt with anything major over the last few days, just feeling pretty wiped out, and I've been bickering with my parents, so honestly, I have no idea how I'm going to make it to the big game
Back in Kansas City, at the local hospital... and honestly, this happened to me last night while I was scrolling through Facebook. I can paste the whole conversation here if you want, though there’s really no point in me repeating everything I wrote myself
Donna Fowler2 and I haven't even gone in for my brain scans yet not quite can't even write it down properly my nerves or my head are just shot
21 hours ago/Mateja Kusanić ugh... oh man.. :S I bet you'll be popping pills just like I am :S
21 hours ago/Donna Fowler2 Oh, it’s nothing serious, really but I can't deal with it right now, I'll just mess everything up
21 hours ago/Mateja Kusanić Mary, what happened? Come on, just tell us how it went hahahaha
21 hours ago/Donna Fowler2 I can't I meant to say that nothing is wrong, but I just can't type out our chat
I ended up in the ER, and they actually wanted to admit me. But since I’m still a minor and my parents weren't around at the time, they couldn't legally keep me there. They've ordered a whole battery of tests—CT scans, EEGs, TCD, you name it... but everything is scheduled out until the end of the year. By the time November rolls around, who knows? I might just have a stroke by then, haha
Hey there, I'm Mary. I'm 17, turning 18 soon.🙂 Anyway, I've been dealing with some really strange symptoms lately, and honestly, they're starting to worry me a bit. It all started when I began feeling dizzy—you know that shaky, weak feeling you get when you haven't eaten in forever? Well, that dizziness just kept getting worse. Then, my right hand went numb, and the right side of my face felt kind of heavy or weak. I could still walk and everything, but talking became a real struggle. Right after that, a massive migraine hit me.
The next day, the exact same thing happened, only much more intense. It got to the point where I couldn't get a single word out properly. If you know that sensation when you've had way too much to drink and your head is spinning so fast you can barely form a sentence? Yeah, that was me. Also, I take a typing class at school—I'm actually the best in my class—but that day, it took me nearly five minutes just to type out one single word correctly.
The day after that, the symptoms returned again, maybe even a little stronger this time. And of course, the migraine was absolutely killing me.
Things seemed to settle down for a bit, but now, for four days straight, my left big toe has been totally numb!! It doesn't actually hurt, but the sensation is driving me crazy!
