Got out of the hospital last night at about 10 Pm

Sorry for the late reply, but between school and being sick I fell about 8 months behind on reading and responding to discussions. I can't imagine going home that late at night. I can understand not wanting to pay all that money, but I would still rather leave earlier in the day if at all possible. I think there was one time when they gave me an option of leaving or staying because of a bad snow storm going on at the time so I decided to stay. The one time I did leave late someone else was picking me up, but she wasn't in the best of shape herself so it was a bit hairy. When I was in the hospital last month they wanted to send me home Thursday night, but I told them the reason I was there at all was because I couldn't breathe in bed so they kept me until morning so they could order a hospital bed for my home.

Glad to hear that you did not have a stroke or mini stroke. Sorry to hear that you had to be in the hospital for the tests. I know how costly that can get. I hope they get the MRI fixed so they can check further and give you some good news.

I'm glad that it's been confirmed that you didn't have a stroke, PQ. It seems iniquitous to me that you have to pay anything at all (but that's another question entirely and another bone in my bonnet ... or should that be a bee in my craw?). If, as seems possible, your speech problem is due to stress or other emotional difficulties ('emotion', of course, being in the rather wider sense of being worked up about anything), then some kind of therapy which helps you deal with that may be useful ... even just being AWARE of when you are getting worked up can help! Something which I have long been interested in is called Emotional Freedom Technique - EFT. The 'inventor', Gary Craig, has now retired and his website (where many tutorials, hints and tips were entirely free) has also gone, though I think that someone has archived it somewhere. There are many people, however, who use and explain the technique, unfortunately not always accurately and generally with a view to selling something sooner or later. I did a small amount of searching and I think that you'll find this site useful: http://efttappingtechniques.com/eft-tapping/eft-manual-part-1/ You do have to sign up to get the free manual (you can always unsubscribe later, of course) but the site IS clear and written by someone who I know was associated with Gary and approved by him. I can only suggest that you try it - it's quick and easy to learn, is friendly and non-invasive (has been used by children to help with emotional trauma and school results with reports of much success) and is free (unless you choose to work with a therapist).

Glad it was not a stroke. But has the stuttering ceased? Did they give you any further reason to be concerned? I would say for what it was costing you indeed the repair person better get the lead out, then again going home since you feel alright saves you money in your pocket.

I am happy the possibility of stroke is ruled out, but what caused the stammering? there must be a reason behind it, we have lot of modern equipment but still they can't detect many things at times.. last week i had severe pain in by belly, left side, well my uterus, gall bladder and appendix were removed long back, they did ultrasonoscopy, endoscopy etc, nothing wrong could be detected, lastly they gave antibiotics and antacid pills. God bless you sister, get well soon Happy posting, cheers. Kalyani

hi dear PQ I am glad they were able to rule out a stroke. Good to know you are back home again and hope the doctors will be able to help you. Maybe you just need mew meds or different meds as meds can also have nasty side effects.

I hope they can help you get the stuttering under control and it is nothing serious. Good luck. If they could not do anything, you should not have to pay in my opinion.

Hi, Glad to hear that your home. I am hoping in a much better state of health. I hope that you get to go and have that test done soon, so you will know whats going on. ~C~

I hope that they get to the bottom of it soon, I can only imagine how you feel. I would be as frustrated as hell

Attempt #2: Good to know it wasn't a stroke. Hope you get better soon.

Wow PQ, I hope they find out what is wrong. Are there any other symptoms? Sore throat or headaches?

i felt bad to know that you have some stuttering problems. i am just wishing that stutterring problem could be the worse thing you would experience and that too would be solved.

I am glad to see you back online. I am glad that it is not a stroke you suffered from. I am glad that you have insurance because I know health care can be expensive. My husband gets insurance through the VA and if it were not for that my husband would not be able to take care of himself. My husband has High Blood Pressure as well as Type II Diabetes. Also, he has a foot condition called Charot's Foot and unfortunatly he is wheelchair bound. My sister's kids come over to talk to him, but my sister keeps saying get away from him. It upsets my husband and I because my sister is non-verbally saying that my husband is poison. It is not my husband's fault that he is injured. My husband tripped over her kids toys because they were all over the floor. My sister feels the kids are too young to pick up after themsleves (they are 9 and 6). Please take care of yourself and do what you feel comfortable with. Get well soon

I hope you will be fine.Take care of your health because its the most important things in the worl that we cannot buy.You go out in hospital at 10pm,its should be better you stay a little more days to be monitor by the doctors and nurses.But anyway if you feel better now,you cna rest at home,dont stress yourself just go back to work when your totally fine.

That was scary! I'm glad stroke was ruled out and I hope you are very much okay now Take care and stay healthy...
