Finally!!

I had it in Jan. 2020. In the hospital for 12 days including a quad bypass to assist damaged organs (and a partially blocked artery). After the operation I had stroke-like problems while in the hospital. Mostly vision and walking. Flashes of light, color blotches, etc.

When I got out I thought I’d had TBI from the operation and day in ICU. I had to learn to walk again. For months I swung my legs and slapped my feet just like a recovering TBI from an IED. Cardiologist thinks it could also be ‘pump head’ but I don’t think it’s all of that. And my home health care workers who support post-OP bypass patients did not think it was ICU or pump related.

I still lose my balance a lot and wobble/stumble when I walk but it’s getting better. Long, slow climb back. I ain’t complaining tho.

Some people love wallowing in their “ailments”.
