Cinco De Mayo +2
My first episode of the day was around 8:30am when I tried to sit up. I went out but was able to talk and move almost immediately. I went out again 2 minutes later but was able to move again within minutes. After 5 minutes I had full control of my body again. We were starting to think that movement was causing the episodes.
At 11:00am I was talking to the school Secretary to let the kids teachers know that I was okay but still in the hospital. Part way through the conversation I went out. It took 3 minutes before I could open my eyes or speak. I tried to fight it again and it took 10 minutes to regain full movement.
My husband went home to rest around noon and my Mom stayed with me. I had another short episode at 2:15. The doctor came at 2:30 with CT results and all tests so far have come back normal. I have 2 stones in my gall bladder but that is all that was found.
Around 3:00pm I had the holter monitor strapped to me. It is like the ECG but monitors over 24 hour period. At 3:10 I had an episode and another one at 3:15 that lasted 10 minutes. At 3:50 I had another episode that lasted less than a minute and then went out again for 5 minutes. I had another episode at 3:55 which lasted 20 minutes. As I was coming out of it I had more blood work done to test electrolytes.
My brother came for a visit today as well. It was great to see him even though it was a short visit.
At 6:30 I had 2 five-minute episodes and again at 7:20. At 8:30 we were playing another game on the tablet when I had another 2 episodes lasting about 5 minutes each. My husband stayed until 9:00pm and then decided to go home and get some sleep. My roommates said they would look after me while while my husband was away.
