IM STILL ALIVE.... I was So Scared!

Thank God... oh wait, no one knows really what goes on in my life.. so I will update you all.

On, Saturday, the 4th of July. I started having an issue with not being able to hear out of my right ear. Sunday we went in to get it checked.. No luck. Tuesday- I collapsed. I literally got out of my bed in the morning, went to the restroom and on my way out.. I got extremely dizzy and light headed. ...The next thing I know... I'm waking up still in the bathroom lying on the floor. I had realized I had passed out. it was at that moment all the Pain rushed to me as I realized I must have hit the floor, dead weight Really hard. It was one of those moments where you're faced with the question, Would you rather die than bare such torturous pain. I chose death, it was that bad. However I was just in to much pain to do anything, but still, there was a single thought that kept me from further realizing my potential (a thought I will keep to myself). I felt like a train wreck as if my skull was suddenly Crushed into tiny pieces. Luckily.. after several hours of CAT scans and other tests, IVs and a drug that was 10 times more powerful than Morphine and of the emergency room not taking my seriously enough and they just took their time... I reportedly didn't have a fractured skull. However. A very serious concussion, I cant hear out of my right ear, no center of balance, and a very dazed mind as if for the last several days I was in lala land, not always knowing where I was or what was going on. Not to mention that for 2 days the ER treated me for something they thought it was... WASN'T and in fact the medication for that made what I really had Worse! FUCKERS! took a week to get most of the answers and explain why I passed out in the first place.. Turned out my head was screwed up.

Basically My nervous system in my head was swollen causing a little bit of pressure, mixed with a small sinus infection which irritated and infected the nervous system even more. The pressure spread to the front of my head, and collapsed my right inner ear and I became unconscious. I must have been lying there for a good 10-15 minutes unconscious my mom said before I woke.. she said she heard a VERY LOUD noise in the other room.. she thought was the cat knocking something over.. even though i was 3 rooms down, down the hall and 2 closed doors, yea it must have been a Hard Landing. when I came to, I crawled into another room and started to try to call for help.

I've been under constant watch since, and only travel with a cane for balance till the pressure goes away and I can hear again. and believe me... that's only half the story. as of now, my right cheek bone and temple are still very bruised, the swelling in my face looks to be gone finally. but I still wake up with my right lip and ear lobe numb. and all the nerves in my upper right teeth shocked.
