My March 1st Day

My 2008 March – I will never forget this event in my life…

I was tiring to remember then events happened in Mar 08… Till Feb’08 and background later in this article..

1 Mar 2008

4:00 am … Call from the nature… Then drink water…I was not feeling any numbness or dizziness … I spent 5-10 minutes in front my laptop… Looking for e-mail / deals / and some one to chat…Then closed it and went back to sleep…

6:55 am … wake up… Still not feeling any numbness
Then I feel like going back to sleep … Jaico or anyone will not awake … So this week I deicide to go back to sleep… But I have to keep in mind that today I will go with Girish & family to skiing … So I want get up by 8:00 am in order to bath and make breakfast ..

I got a call from Girish at 8:00 ...or near to that time…

Picked up the call … and said “Hello Kodi” … (But I know that I was not saying “Hello Kodi” …it something else … to be exactly “LLH H GDI …” … I can’t explain that … I know that this is some not good… Then Girish asked me couple of questions … But I can’t say it correctly … But I got every thing that Girish told to me … He will be reaching our apartment by 8:30 or 8:40 … First Girish will drop rice and some stuffs to our another … Then will pick be up…

Since I went back to sleep after 6 am, I feel like be in bed for five more minutes … By that time I feel like small pain in right middle finger… for 1 minute I felt like that … Then back to sleep…

After 3-4 minutes, Shyam call me … If I am near to him I definitely hit him for sure… I picked the phone… Again same issue… He said that may be he will call later… He though that I was in bad sleep mood … I use to be like that when somebody call me before 6:30 am… So dropped the phone…

I thing that Girish is calling Jaico… and Jaico in kitchen dirking water…

By this time I am feeling that some thing happing or wrong with me…

So I took my laptop and switch it on … and open IE, and type http://www.google.com/ … But I thing words jumbles … for sure… Let my try to login to gmail account… When I start typing my name, I was not able to type my name correcting… After 1-2 minutes I managed to type login and password correctly… Let may say this in detail – while typing I feel like small pain in right middle finger and it slowing marched to my shoulder… Also I feel like numbness in my right middle finger… Then did some touch pad stuff and type A to Z … Just to make sure that I am neither dreaming nor having a hang over… Then picked up a pen … with right index and middle finger … Middle finger fails…

Then I wake up … I know that I have an issue… Went to kitchen and take sauce pan and staring making coffee… I try to pick knife to apply peanut butter with middle finger … But it fails… Then I apply it using index … Added sugar to coffee … Again I use middle finger … I can see Jaico is talking to some one … By this time my right mouth and lips staring shriving… It last for 1 minute … Then I feel like numbness in my cheeks … Then Eyes staring blinking. I was not able to control that one too… All last for 3 minutes… Again call from nature… So I finished that one … After coming out I am fine… No numbness at my lips/mouth and eyes… Still middle finger is having a pain…

Back to my chair … dirking coffee… Jaico came to see me … He ask me that Girish was mention some thing… I reply to him that – “Eda, I am not feel well… So I don’t know I will make to skiing” … Still now I am in the fact that this all are because of late night sleep (1:30 am) or hang over or may because my “Bodham illamaia”

Then again call from nature… So I get inside the bath room… Spent 3-4 minutes … Suddenly I feel like numbness in my cheeks and right mouth and lips staring shriving and eyes staring blinking… I think it lasted for 2-3 … Then I decided to wash and tell Jaico that I have go to Hospital… Then I take the mug… I remember that I have bring that to my chest …

This the first time I feeling Seizure (2-3 Seconds) (I came to know about Seizure when I had one in hospital)

BALCK OUT…

I think I wake up in my bed after one or two hours…

Suddenly I wake up and ask Jaico what happened… I know he is worried and tensed… I see Sandeep my room… (Think Sarath and Karthick were there…) Then I noticed bleeding in left fore head right under my eyebrow… I ask Jaico what happened …

Jaico:-
“Eda, I had heard a sound in bath room… and I got tensed… You are not making any sound… Then I try to break the bath room... But it took me 15 minutes… I was laying with left side on the wash basin and I was bleeding… (With a smile) I cleaned your stool… You weight is too high… But I managed to drag you to your bed… at that time I am was not breathing… I got more tensed after seeing that Jean… Suddenly I move my both my hands and place it over my chest and starting breathing normally… Then I was happy… I call Girish and Sandeep and ask to come over here…”

Then I turn to Sandeep …

Sadeep:-
“We will go to Hospital … Quick…”

I went back to my room … I was sitting my chair for couple of minutes and thinking about so many things… “What happened to me, am I dreaming, what will happen to my Acha, Amma and Jeethu, Why this has happened me… No answer … No answer…

Then I put my Jeans, T-shirt and all dress… Take my wallet, key and watch… Three things that I cannot keep away from my body … Then I took my mobile…

I think / believe that I was ok when walking the room… But sometimes my words are jumbling… Jaico/Sandeep will know it better…

By that time Heman arrived and we locked the home…

I was finding it difficulty to speak when we walked to the car…

We headed to nearest hospital… That was couple of blocks away… We contacted ER and they told that they don’t ER… Then Heman/Sandeep/Jaico suggested to go UIC Medical Center… We used to live near to UIC for the last couple of years…

Heman driving the car and Jaico and Sandeep are talking… But I was not at all listening to any of their conversation… I was thinking about some my things… That came to my mind… I am watching the road then and there…

Within minutes we reached UIC… We went to ER… They ask to wait for 15 minutes… Jaico/Sandeep was talking to that desk personnel about my issue… Still I am thinking of what has happened to me … Since I cannot speak well I was finding it difficult to express something to anyone…

One Nurse called me to ER… They lay me on a bed… I know my heart was beating very fast… They took all my tests… 2-3 test tubes of Blood, Sugar, BP, Beat, SpO2 etc… Then Nurse examines my Eyes etc… they she ask me the details… After 10-15 minutes I somehow manage to explain everything… then one Malayalam Nurse noticed me speaking Malayalam… She also asks me some more questions… Couple of Doctor came to see my… I remember Dr. Chan and Sebastian came to see me and writing something in that sheet… Then some Dr. Chan told me that you have to take a CT scan… I know that CT scan is some thing to take picture of any part of body…

Within minutes someone took me to CT scan room… I was lying at that bed when they are moving me to that room… I am counting the number of lights and cute faces that are passing by… By this time my heart beat calm down… In CT scan room they placed me under huge white machine … It took only 15 min … I was brought back to ER…

After half hour, Dr. Chatn came and he causally said “You I have Tumor” …! “You have to take an MIR scan” …

What!
What!
