I have a bit of history of running into walls after I popped my pipe. It continued for seven years, the stent has mostly stopped it. Dizziness stopped with the balloon assist I think it was. One of our members, I think @CharlesDWM had posted about things our brain does after rupture. I will try to find it. He had shared a YouTube video a couple of months ago that dealt with how our eyes really need to be checked. I learned a lot of answers from it, like why I always veered to the left (almost walked into traffic in downtown Atlanta visiting friends) and why I didn’t register traffic signals (I almost walked in front of a taxi in D.C. a few days after procedure #3. Some lady spouted off that a red hand means stop in any city. Well I live in a rural area and we don’t use hands for traffic signals, we call them red lights. Imagine her surprise when Kevin said hey to me at the get together a few minutes later in prep for Lobby Day. Kevin was surprised to see him since it had been less than a week from my procedure. I imagine she learned to keep comments to herself )
The first time my brain was connected to electrodes, I talked the whole time until the tech told me I had to be quiet😂. It was incredibly difficult for me not to speak back then, still can be an effort. My Neurologist who ordered it couldn’t read the results and had to have a colleague do it. She said I slept through most of the procedure and I told him she was wrong so I wasn’t going to hold her opinion with much regard. I also told him to ask the two that were in the room with me. He said he had to go with what the results were and I became angry as a copperhead that he wouldn’t pick up the phone or walk next door to the hospital and simply inquire. He was so calm, though surprised at my outburst and said he had to do what he had to do. I remember seeing bright lights in color when there was none per the tech doing the test and they made me want to run and vomit. Apparently she didn’t make note of it for the Neurologist doing the reading. The Ophthalmologist in the YouTube video answered those questions basically.
Someone told me about a doctor who does scans over in Charlotte that can show a person the areas of brain damage in color. I’ve never done it and I always forget to ask my Neurosurgeon who just tells me I have a plethora of brain damage on both sides. The radiologists who do my images apparently don’t have the computer program to do the colors. If I ever remember to buy a lottery ticket with the winning numbers, I think I’ll donate a portion to them just so I can see the colors😂
It is @CharlesDWM and his post is here 17 mm Aneurysm in Anterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery (AICA) Treated Endovascularly by Flow Diverter 10/13/22 - #19 by CharlesDWM. Scroll down to the Labradors and that’s the video!
