First I want to say thanks to everyone for your thoughts and prayers. I am back up and moving around a little now but have to take it slow. I just finished the coursing of Keppra so hopefully my head clears up soon. I hate this light headed feeling. Actually I'm thankful that I have any feelings in my head at all.
I remember looking at the side door openning and the dog coming out and that is about it. We think the door upset the aluminum plank I was standing on and I came down like a ton of bricks. Next thing I know I am in Mass General via a chopper and fighting with a doc about a tube that they put up my nose. (this is what my wife tells me) I guess I ripped it out and they decided it was best to leave it out. Next was fighting about taking out the tube they put in another part of me........ I guess I wasn't the best patient . They told me I seized twice but the great people at MGH weren't to be put off and pulled me through. My hat is off to them.
I've got a bledsoe brace on my left knee to keep it stable as it is about the size of a volleyball and has absolutely no strength at all. I'll be starting physical therapy for that next week. Hopefully it is just damage to the quad and not the knee itself. I guess time will tell.
Again, I want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers as they meant more to me than you can possibly know.
