HELLO EVERYONE, Just wanted to let ya'll know, Pac is once again spending time at the Atrium.  Has been there since Monday.Not sure how long he will be there, but will let him update you when he is able. I will be taking PC in with me next time I go so I can read to him from his favorite forum. Hmmm, wonder what that might be. Blessings to all MsPacMan ------------- Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

He is doing well, Still in the Hospital. Tis is bizarre situation. Monday Afternoon (around 3:30pm) I had to take him into the ER for a reoccuring condition he's had for 20+ years (too hard to even try to explain/describe). Just learned early on (been married 18 years) that I need to get him to the ER. Not long after we arrive in the ER He has a seizure, then another. He had these seizures while lying the ER Bed. He did not fall. He's never had seizures before. But the 2nd seizure caused him to break his left shoulder blade (a minor fracture that will heal on it's own) and break the ball out of the socket of his right arm. This causing him excrutiating pain. I find it amazing the strength one has when having a seizure. Enough to break your own bones while being completely unaware of it. Now, the MD's did not figure out what was causing the pain until around 11am on Wednesday Morning. Why?? They were looking for something neurological. What could've caused the seizures as well as the pain?? Ordered MRI, EEG, CT Scan. It wasn't until the Lung Doctor came in concerned about fluid on the lungs that he asked me if anyone had considered that he might have broken something when he had his seizures. Ummm, Nope - NoOne had mentioned this has a possibility until that moment. That was Wednesday - Friday he had ball replacement surgery. Surgery went well. He is still in pain but Recooperating well THANKS TO ALL FOR YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS AND KIND WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT!!

From Ms. Pacmans post.....
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. James 1:2-3" And we are getting our fair share of facing trials, testing of the faith and learning perserverance, aren't we Ms. Pacman? Sometimes, I ask why us, why now, at this late stage of the game (in our 60's), are we being so severily tested??? Did we do something so horribly wrong and are being punished? Don't know. Like you and PAC, we take it one day at a time......with a dash of hope it will change soon thrown in for good measure.

Was thinking of all you wonderfullly thoughtful people as I sat here in his hospital room watching him sleep. He is resting peacefully now, but had a rough day earlier. Has had surgery 3 times now on his shoulder. cepsis infection is a tricky thing to get rid of and it seems to be hanging on to him. I just want him home, but I'm not sure when that will be.
Anyhoo, I think I'll take in some of the very insightful reading that can always be found on this forum.

We are all here with you folks. Again, anything we can do, let us know. It'll take some time, but he'll be alright Ms. Pacman.  Gotta keep fighting, one day at a time. That's how we handle life's setbacks at our house. No other way to go but forward into the next day. Can't quit and walk away....not an option. God Bless.

Hi everybody, He actually came home Thursday (the 29th of October)... But, I had to take him back to ER early saturday morning (1am) via 911 due to shortness of breath/chest pains as well as a few other things... No heart attack thank GOD!! but he does have pnuemonia (spelling). He is more than ready to come home, but the MD's are not ready to send him home. ------------- Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

I'mmmmm BACK
..... In September of this year, I went into the ER, While laying on the gurney I had a seizure and my bobdy stiffened and I twisted my arms at the shoulders breaking both shoulders. The left should just cracked and healed on it's own. The right shoulder shattered the ball and socket and required surgery. Two weeks after the surgery I got a cepsis infection, they then had to operate again to clean out the infectious fluid. And a week later the infection remained so they had operate a third to remove the replacement parts. So now I have one wing that just flops
 I then got an pneumonia and was readmitted to the hospital. While in the hospital again It was discovered I had yet another blood infection which required a blood transfusion. Come to find out, I have some wierd ass blood that is not stocked in hospitals. It has to be specially ordered... Nothing is ever easy. I am finally at home trying to recover from being in the being in the hospital. Pacman  |

Pac- so happy to hear you're at home. You have been through hell and back.
There are some similarities between what you went through and what my wife has gone through. She, like you, has a left arm that "just flops". Left leg does too. The arm is in a sling all the time to prevent the "flopping". If the arm is out of the sling for long, the hand and arm bend back and her fingers start to clinch. She too, had her fifth seizure two Sundays ago. Squad was called and the usual blood, vitals and MRI was taken of the brain. No abnormalities shown other than old stroke damage to the brain. Neurologist upped the anti-seizure medication (Keppra) to 2000 mg. per day, four times what he started the dosage at. She convulses as you described, although not violent enough to break a shoulder, as you have done. It is like an epileptic seizure in nature. Scary to see each time. Hang in there. Keep on going. It is a struggle day to day, isn't it? God Bless You and your caregiving wife. I know what she is going through. It is a situation you really have to do long term to appreciate the effort needed. How life changes, huh? We are praying for a miracle. We will do the same for you folks. In the meantime, keep on trucking. No other choice. |
