Proof of the holes in my head But I don't know the old guy (Grin)
I
fell a few weeks ago, my physician just retired ( deservedly so) and I fell
starting my PC. Nothing known broken. However I fell a few weeks before and must
have hit my head causing a bleeed. But through the week I continued to fall and
decided to use my neurologist visit upcoming to see what he recommended.
My
wife notice my left side was weaker and finally did not feel my family could
safely move me. So called for an ambulance. I was CAT scanned and it was seen
that I had old blood on my brain.
They
sent me to Boston for a neurosurgeon, as I required two holes drilled into my
brain (*not fun) to release the blood
and pressure. Interesting. That almost immediately released the blood pressure
and I started getting better.
Of
course you are mostly helpless. After a few days feeling better I was sent to
rehab at the CMC in Manchester NH. And there I got superb treatment.
The
treatment was intensive and good. It helped. I also supplemented it with Tai
Chi and various karate drills while I was seated. Even doing some Tai Chi after
2 days. There is no question the Core training I had always done was assisting.
Many of he drills were similar to some extent.
While
my speech improved, my core problem stems from the Neuropathies I have endured
for years. The Therapy did help, though II still am hard to understand, my wife
can understand me better some times.I shared that I had been writing as a hobby
for years. Sharing the Ung poetry which I wrote for the fan fiction work in “New
Blood”. It fit my needs so I tried to recite what I wrote during training.
I
have used my modified Tai Chi (Yang Style),Sanchin kata,, Seiuchin Kata, Eagle
Claw Chi Kung drills, Jing Do training, Indoneasian Arm Breaking techniques
with speed seated, Multiple Striking
movements As well as other movements. Never give up.
Of
course I am weak and a bit unstable, but I am about 80% of where I was.
Never
stop.
