Black Friday in the ER

Sitting here Thursday evening looking at CD C on IPad. All of a sudden the lights went out for a few seconds then got dizzy. When that went away saw everything double, one on top of the other one. Did what I should not have done and stayed home until Friday morning. Becky and some others decided I need to go to ER so off we go. Everyone including the Dr decided I had a stroke so the testing begins. CT scan- ok Ultrasound of my neck all pipes clean except one with just a little scale- ok. Next we do a MRI, loads of fun, after about 2 more hr's they come in and tell me no stroke ( and for those of you who might have doubts at times there is a brain in there but they wouldnt let me take a picture to prove it ) everything looks fine we don't know what's wrong. Go see your eye Dr. Has gotten a little better, I can watch TV with just one screen now but typing this I have to close one eye and get real close to screen to be able to read it and the keyboard. Now I can't wait for the bill:yikes
Just in case anyone needs it the new Methodist in OB is a really nice hospital with great staff.

No new meds or anything. BP was spot on.

Glad to hear all is well. It's scary when your elderly and stuff starts to get weird... or things happen suddenly that don't make sense.

Dadgum Charlie, at least they ruled out the bad stuff. I know what you mean about the jigs driving you nuts. Lol. Hopefully the double vision will straighten itself out.
PM sent Charlie.

Praying everything is OK, take care buddy

Prayers Sent for ya Cray.

I get kinda like your symptoms when my blood sugar gets low. I grab a handful of Skittles. :-)

Prayers sent Charlie. Hope all is well.

I could use double vision to get me closer to a limit. Maybe your looking at this all wrong.

Hope they figure it out for ya.

Wannabe...

Hope you feel better, Charlie!

hope you get to feeling better praying for you

Praying for a full recovery.

Hope you get this thing handled,
Good men like you are needed in this old world. Praying for your recovery.

Praying for you! Please don't put off going to the eye doctor and please let them dilate your eyes. Lots of medical conditions can be seen through dilation that the regular m.d. may not have diagnosed or caught yet. I used to work for eye docs and I've seen them identify conditions first hand before the patient's regular doc does.

so true girl

Here is update, went to eye Dr this morning. He said I had a Trasient-big word - incident. Plaque came loose and so small it wouldn't impact anything else but it got into one of the small vessels in eye mussel. Blocked oxygen for a instant then passed on. Impacted the mussel in right eye's ability to align itself. Said sometimes it will heal and go back to normal and sometimes not. I can tell a difference from Friday. Going to make me new glasses with a Prizm in right lens to align eyes. Thanks to all of you for the Prayers and well wishes it means a lot.

Glad to hear they have a handle on it.

Good news sounds like, take care ole man

Glad it wasn't more serious!!! Keep us informed.

Get better cray buddy!

Man really glad you're ok!

Dang, Charlie just heard about this. Been traveling back and forth to Fl. Man I am glad you are OK!!!!! We will be praying for your complete recovery.
Need to have you in tip-top shape for the spring fishing. Hang tuff Chief.
