hey fellas,
im just starting this thread up to see what kinda of shit people have had to go through. not just injuries but anything! ill get the ball rolling.
Last year i lost the control to move my left eye more than a few milimetres. It was like i was permanantly crossed eyed. It happened all of a sudden and out of the blue. i was vomiting from motion sickness (as i couldnt focus) and was scared shitless. I had to go to Flinders hospital in Adelaide and have shit loads of test done. including: a lumber puncture (big arse needle in my back that extracted brain fluid form a little sac near my back bone...while i was awake) another big test was having a ultra sound of the back of my heart, to do this they had to numb my throat and shove a fat tube down my throat for 10 mins while i was awake. I also had a hew MRI's, eye test and what not. Basically after a week they narrowed it down to a stroke (keep in mind i was 16 at the time) or MS (very unlikly). they came to a conclusion that a small blood clot passed through a small hole in my heart (1 in 3 have it) and travelled to the brain where it got stuck due to the thin veins. It took about a week to see well enough to get back to normal living but about 3 months until i could see fine again. I was off a bike for atleast two months and i wasnt allowed to play ANY physical activity.
Now days i have to have a asprin every morning to thin my blood to prevent a clot and im STILL waiting for a conclusion and solution..still no idea how they are gonna fix the problem. One was is to have heart surgery and get the hole in my heart closed up. Im having another MRI in July to make sure i dont have MS....i would hate to look at the medical bill as it would be over $10,00 for all the MRI's i had alone!!!
so yeah theres my worst experience ever...wat u got???
