On Monday, my husband had taken off work to take me to the ENT to do testing to find the cause of my vertigo. They checked out my ears and found no problems so they arranged for a nerve test the following week. After the appointment, my husband had to pick up some things from his work because he was going to work from home until I was feeling better so he could watch E. While I was in the car waiting for him, I was talking to my aunt and I heard a sudden buzzing sound, saw a bright light and suddenly I was not able to speak properly (and I knew it). I hung up with my aunt and my husband came out to the car. As soon as he got out to the car, my husband realized that there was a big problem so we started heading to the hospital by our house while he call the ENT to confirm that they agreed that was what we should do.
We got over to the ER and I wasn't able to sign the paperwork (when I tried to write I could only form the top halves of the letters). I had to wait a while, but once I finally saw a doctor, they quickly got another CT scan and gave me aspirin. On the second CT on Monday, I had 3 spots so they immediately admitted me and started getting other doctors consulting. They also did an MRI to make sure what cause the lesions. The neurologist told me that I had had 3 ischemic strokes.
I'll try to post again soon with the rest of story.
