Dear FiveFires:
I am here to help.
I am so sorry that you're feeling worried and scared today. I am very grateful that the second nurse was more knowledgeable and explained the issues to you.
From what I've read and experienced the "canyons" of our brains will reroute and "fix" themselves at times. My mom experienced this and she came out of it fine.
You do need to eat. Do you like yoghurt? You could try some of that and try to get some protein down. The yoghurt is soothing for the stomach. Having a good cereal and milk will help you.I have memory lapses and the other day I couldn't remember how to play "Red Headed Stranger" on the piano....that scared the heck out of me. It came to me in a moment but I was worried about that. My daughter reminded me that I haven't played in a couple of years. Sometimes we get so much information coming in that it is very hard for our brains to process and work with everything. I also have to think abuot the spelling of words occasionally. See above. :-)
Babble me if you need to talk. Love, Pat
