Yay early birthday present...not really...
5 years ago
SO....I got an early birthday present this year...one I really didn't expect or ask for... so let me give you the story. Last weekened I ended up in the ER with a head splitting migrane one like I've never had before. It was no pain to intense pain in a matter of seconds. This was the second one I had in a matter of days. Both in the exact location, the base of my skull. So I go to ER, I have to go in alone, Kayla had to wait in the car. So Its 11 when I go in. First they do a CT scan and give me pain med shot...which wasn't working really. They then came back said CT was clear, and they want to give me a spinal tap to check for a few things. So I agreed. They give me one it lets out a bunch of pressure and my head ach lessens tremendously. They give me more pain meds and they work this time. So around...4 am I get to leave. My wife has been in the car the entire time, bless her. So I follow up with my regular doctor on Monday. He needs to see what my numbers are on that spinal fluid before he decides to recommend me to a neurologist. So fast forward to Thursday when I call him and they recall the hospital. He calls me back.. First the Covid test they gave me came back negative (wooo), and the spinal fluid came back neg....but oh there was positive.... I have freaking West Nile?! And sure enough the symptoms I had were linked to that. ...So yeah I don't have to go see a neurologist , I'm not dying of an anurism or other things. On positive side I haven't had any more headachs since the ER visit. Hopefully will get to feeling 100% by my birthday next weekend. We shall see..

Rough to happen so close to your birthday. ; ; Glad they were able to figure it out, hope your birthday is suuuper relaxing.
I hope you could get your syllabus together without writing "kill kill kill" on everything.
Good to hear that you pulled through.
