Well it's been awhile. Have had a rough month if you have seen my Facebook posts.
First last Friday I wound up being taken by ambulence to the hospital. I had come inside to watch tv in the bedroom and all of a sudden I had a very sore throat and then I couldn't talk. Like I was somewhere else. I could hear me, but nobody else could. I thought it was because of the bug bite on my neck but that wasn't it.
Diagnosis was first a TIA and I was fine, then the doctor reviewed another test and pointed out the stroke to me. I was not paralyzed in any way and just have a slight lack of balance, and some trouble talking or finding the right words. I guess I was very lucky. It's my own fault from the beer and smoking 6 cigs a day. I am now a non smoker and only drank 1/2 of a beer since i got home.
The kicker is that they wanted 2 more tests before I went home and they did two different tests on my neck. One was a catscan and seems i moved a bit the wrong way and they got a film of my chest by accident.
Anyway they found a tumor on my right lung and it is going to biopsied on the 12-13th. Then we will see what it is.
Ed was talking to two people here on our street and they both said they had tumors on their lungs from Valley Fever. I had that 30 years ago here in AZ and supposedly you can't get it again. We had 3-4 haboobies this summer that brings the dust storms. It is a spore from the soil that you catch. I did have a week with the same symptoms as last time but this only lasted a week. Anyway it is a possibility that the tumor is from that, but I am not too encouraged right now. Since November 8th I have had major back pains and I still think it is from the Barium Enema test I got Nov. 8. No way should it last this long.
I am going get the tumor biopsied and we will see what happens. I will keep everyone posted, sick of being in pain.
I am NOT SMOKING and so far did finish 1/2 beer the day I got home but none after that.
Anyway that's whats happening with me...will keep everyone posted.
