I'm still alive

Hey everyone,
I can't type very long because looking at my cellphone overwhelms my eyes petty quick, but I did want to at least set the record straight so you know what happened to me:
On Sunday night I struck my head while playing softball. I suffered a rather large concussion. 1/2 hr after the injury, in the parking lot, I had a massive seizure. My left side went haywire with my leg and arm tightening to the point that the EMTs's couldn't unfold my limbs. My heart shrank to 21bpm and I could barely inhale as 1/2 my abs were crushing my gut against my lungs. I spent all night in the trauma ward ICU paralyzed on the left side of my body and unable to speak or focus/use my eyes. Some time later Monday morning, I slowly started being able to see again and speak again. My left arm came back sometime around 6 am and my leg followed. Monday evening I was discharged from the hospital after a whole day of tests determined I was well enough to leave. I am currently at my parents' house as I have to be woken up every 2hrs to make sure I'm still alive.
Sorry this is only the short version, but I have to put the cellphone down every few minutes because my eyes hurt looking at it. I wanted to thank everyone who has prayed, sent well-wishes, or encouraged me during this very distressing time of my life. I think I understand what the phrase "valley of the shadow of death" means a little bit better now. I hope the worst is over, but I have a very long and very slow recovery schedule ahead.
My biggest thank-you goes out to my beloved Ryoken who held my paw as I fell into nothingness; that was the last loving sense I had before my horrifying journey.
Please tell everyone that Nevir is going to be ok.
Take care, my friends.
