Hello, everyone glad I found this site looks quite helpful. my is name is Jeff, from ohio. Last year and half have been quite difficult for me and my family, looking for any help or advice. On Oct 2 of 2006 I fell at work and ended up being Lifeflighted To St V's in Toledo where i spent the next 6 weeks 4 of them in the Neu Icu. Well to try to make a very long story as short as possible. The day after I arrived I was in the operating room for a craniotmy. Little did I know I was in Store for 3 more Cranies in the next 4 weeks. My family was devastated. I had respirtory failure twice, they actualy lost me twice on the table too. Ok here is the kicker, after the 2nd cranie I recieved a great present:from the hospital a serious Staph infection you guessed it in my Brain. I dont remember a whole lot, can you believe that. I do remember some very disturbing things that i saw in the Icu, not to mention many many Hallacunations Sp :) I do know I had some very special people ( looking after me), no to mention The one and only the man upstairs. I want no sympathy for this, But certainly I believe I saw what hell would be like. I could go on and on with that. The next six weeks
I spent in Rehab. I am lucky I still could walk talk and all that. Well here I am today. Struggling with epilespy, somewhat deppresed, Irritable like never before and trying to look at life in a whole new way. Not to mention still several Cat, Mri scans blood work and the fear of all fears the GM seizure's. They scare me beyond beilief. Everytime I have one for the brief minute before my body shuts down I wonder if this one is it. Well last week I overdosed on Dilantin my level was 30, wow Itseemed as though I had been getting plowed at a bar for about a week. My Neurologist is switching me to Kepra soon, So I am freaked out about that too. The seizure thing has crontrolled my life, Excactling Like Alcholol or drugs would. Well thats the shortest I could make this. If you are still reading Thanks and look forward to any and all replies. Or if i could share my experience more would be :) to do that.
Regards
Jeff
