I have been in the hospital for the past 5 days. I had a Ischemic Stroke while in Walmart with my mom. When paramedics got the mom said my blood pressure was 240/180 and my speech was all studders and I was completely paralized on the right side already. When they got me to Blount Memorial Hospital the Drs spoke with mom nd dad and came to me and explain to me about a new Medication Injection called T.P.A also known as The Clot Buster the biggest concern(has to be given within 3 hrs of a stroke but the sooner the better) and side effect of taking this is bleeding on the brain. The Dr explained this to me and with what speak I had left in me I looked at him and said Help Help Help Me Me Please Please PLease
I got the injection and after that they then had me transferred to the University of TN Medical Center as they have more Resources to Take Care of This Kind if Stroke Victim. During my wait time for being transfered this miracle med had already started working as I was already starting to move my hands and my feet and I could smile!
Then on my way out I was able to make s sentence.
I stayed in hospital for 5 days and feel pretty good. I do have to some out patient therapy and see a few diff drs and I have a few things I will have to work on but I just Thank GOD I am up and moving and can still Talk.
