In the hospital (important)
9 months ago
I’ll TLDR this because I am exhausted but long story short:
My left arm down to my hand went numb 4 days ago. After 2 days the tips of my fingers began to hurt badly.
After I dropped dishes when washing them, I decided to go into the ER. They did extensive testing and are worried it’s either a pinched nerve that could require an amputation, or it’s something neurological like a tumor or some sort of brain related issue.
However, I have a VNS implant so I need to go to a specialty hospital that has an MRI with “pacemaker mode”. So that required a transfer. But with the flu season as horrific as it is, my hospital I was at was SEVERELY understaffed.
I did leave the hospital against advisory, but it’s because the hospital I need is in another town and my transfer would take 3-5 days minimum. So I checked out to go home to sleep and schedule my testing, because nothing more could be done at the hospital. People were screaming, retching, and I had been in the hospital since 3am the following day with no sleep. I was having panic attacks.
Expect delays in responses right now. I am struggling with this, and trying to find out
more. I am trying my best. If you need anything art related such as a refund, let me know and I will get to you when I can. I’m sorry that this isn’t a good positive update but please be patient with me.
In the meantime if I’m incapacitated, my partner monztar can answer questions when he has time that he isn’t using to tend to my situation. Thank you.
