First draft
My visit was in 2 parts:
- Audiology... Dilworth Audiology.
The Audiology state of my ears were, generally, found to be in good shape.
-----------------------------------------------
- Ear, Nose and Throat ... Dr Malcolm Giles, Specialist.
I was given a good check over of my ears and nose area and nothing, pertaining to my problem was found. The only thing of note was, I had broken my nose at sometime. I was surprised, I could not recall having done so.
Sometime later I did remember, the previous year, 2010 I had, had a number of falls, face first. One of them, I hit my face on a door handle. I blacked my eye and cheek bone area. After these healed I remember, if I pressed on my top gum area, I could feel a dull pain apparently around the top gum area. This lasted for about 2 months or so before the pain disappeared.
Dr. Giles then asked me to describe, in detail, step by step what had happened. I told him what the first ambulance personel had observed in the house and again what the 2nd crew in the 2nd ambulance had seen en-route to Waikato Hospital.
The first ambulance personnel had noted my eyes rolling upwards in the lying down position on my back.
The 2nd ambulance personell asked me when lying on my back to raise both arms upwards. I did so, or I thought I had raised both arms upwards. I had not, I had raised only my right one, when I turn my head to the left, my left arm was lying motionless. I tried to raise my left arm while obseving it, it felt like I was raising the arm but it did not move. I asked the amulance person if my eyes were rolling and he answered, yes. Later I could raise my left arm normally.
Dr. Giles then asked me my medical history as listed.
- I starting with my heart problem in 1990.
- A partial loss of memory in late 1990s was noticed, said to be probably a TIA.
- A stroke in 2007 (?) on my vision. Followed by noticing a loss of memory , middle register (name not known) in later months.
- Also 2007 at same time as stroke. A seizure. Small white dots noticed near vision hemmoriage. My blood pressure monitored, spot on normal. Usually only seen with high blood pressure patients . My blood pressure is usually spot on. Neurology speciallist suggested a possible seizure Small amount of Tegretol to be administered twice daily.
- March 04-08 2011. Removed to hospital. Initially to Emergency dept., then short stay ward, under Dr Margaret Fisher, said to be part of the Neuralogy team. Dr Fisher seemed to be of the opinion the problem was to do with a stroke. Discharged March 08 2010.
Note 2: During the middle of 2010 I did get, when looking out of the dining room, window over the gully to Lake Hakanoa the... I call it 2D effect... of the trees and bushes for about 1 hour. This is part of what I got whislt in hospital in 2007.
This was my fault... I had not taken my medication for 3.5 days approx. Was it missing the Tegretol
