Aphasia

[askmrjesus]

It all started with Birgit's mother, whom I've never met. Birgit, a friend of my wife, has a mother that makes one of the best Black Forrest Cherry Cakes in all of Germany. For reasons known only to her, it was decided that I nedded one. It was the kind of a cake that was so good, it could cause a person to have a stroke.

So I did.

One minute I am sitting at the table eating cake, the next I'm saying "boorhay mitz serkas mohor" which means "my arm is numb and I can't see" in a language that apparently only stroke victims understand. "Well", I thought to myself, "that can't be good". As it turns out, it was good, at least in the way that getting hit by a train is good, as long it doesn't kill you.

"You almost died", said my doctor in not reassuring english. "Your left cardicotic artery is completely blocked, and you need surgery, or maybe not, we're not sure yet". "Nice to meet you too" I said. At least, I think I said that. "Your brain had a cross over" he continued, "the right artery is doing what the left side normally does. You are very lucky".

I was tempted to tell him that my idea of luck, involved eating cake without my head exploding, but I decided to wait on that one. I have the feeling that between German, English and "Stroke Weillian" something would be lost in translation.

So, now I'm stuck here in a German hospital for at least a week, if not more, waiting for a surgery to repair an artery that was according to Herr Doctor damaged by the radiation treatments that saved my live 16 years ago. Such is life.

In the meantime, I'm teaching the nurses english. Or not. It's hard to say at this point. Just when I'm sure "Sabine" has mastered "I shot J.R.", Yvonne gets "I know how to see the tits on the Land 'O Lakes butter princess" hopelesly jumbled.

It's going to be a long week.

JC



JC's wife here: the stroke happened on Monday evening, and luckily he improved a huge amount in the last 2 days. He wrote (and re-wrote) this "story" this morning on a piece of paper and gave it to me to post. As of now his motor skills are normal, his speach and reading is good (he's reading a lot), but for now, he can't spell right at all - it's called Aphasia .... and I am way to exhausted to proof everthing I typed and/or install an english version of spell check on this computer.

[Corey]

Damn man, that's awful. Use your god powers and get better quickly. Seen a lot of that shit at the ER this past two weeks that didn't turn out so well. :(

[Trip]

Holy crap, I was wondering where you been. Glad you made it man. Try to keep us updated if you can.

[Angee]

Wow...glad you are still with us! Get better soon!!

[Librarian]

Check your PMs!

[Apoc]

Glad your ok man.

Hope everything works out.

Any cake left?

[Porkchop]

Holy shnitkies JC.... :panic:

Get well, and lay off the cake!

[Mr Lefty]

ahh yeah... I saw a episode of House that a guy had Aphasia... really interesting.

glad ya made it threw... and hope things take a turn for the better for ya.

[rogue]

Many positive thoughts for full and complete recovery!

[2up]

OH, nothing ruins a vacation like a stroke. :( So sorry to hear about this. Hope you continue to improve!

By the way, your pic reminds me of Wilson from Home Improvement, not House. ;)

[Papa_Complex]

HOLY CRAP MAN!

I guess the 'vacation' is going to be a bit longer than expected. On the upside, German doctors get an A+. Must be some sort of compensatory mechanism for the bad rap they got 70 years ago. Let me know if you need anything when you get back. You know, like a 13"x19" of an umbrella girl to keep you company. I'm sure wifey won't mind.

[Archren]

Holy crap!! Thank goodness you are relatively ok. Hoping the aphasia resolves itself soon.. you are both in our thoughts and prayers (as ironic as that is..). That had to have been some damn good cake.

On another note.. that's awesome that you're reading Paolo Coelho. One of my mom's favorite Brazilian authors. :lol:

[G-Rex]

Wow, that's terrible news. I'm glad all is well now though, or at least sounds like it will be!

Get well soon man! I still want to try some of the personal AMJ brewed stash!

[lauralynne]

I speak German and English but not stroke. Sorry dude. Man. I'm so sorry! No more cake for me - cakes are dangerous! Holy shit. If there's anything you need - anything at all - call me.

[Archren]

I speak German and English but not stroke. Sorry dude. Man. I'm so sorry! No more cake for me - cakes are dangerous! Holy shit. If there's anything you need - anything at all - call me.

Plus uno to that. Whatever you guys need, I imagine we can find a way to smuggle it in. :D

[njchopper87]

Hope you get better fast.

[lauralynne]

I just want to add after reading only a tiny bit about aphasia, use us for PT man, write, speak, joke - you losing language would be worse than anything I can think of. You're gifted in that area. You make everyone laugh, cry, get mad, and even get even with your words. Heal up oh Holy One. Please.

[LittleTaz]

I'll see all the Holy Craps and raise you a WTF?! Glad you're doing as well as you are, though!

Mrs. AMJ, thanks for letting us know and if you need anything at all, let us know.

[ericr]

Dang AMJ, glad you made it through that! Hope everything goes well :dthumb:

You should be ok after 3 days shouldn't you? ;) Heal up quick man!

Damn, dude!!

I KNEW that Cathedral of the Screaming Monkey joke was a bad idea...You gotta stop pissing your old man off!

Hang in there, man.... :dthumb:

[HurricaneHeather]

Thanks to the Mrs. for the update! Take good care of Jesus for us :(

Sounds like a typical AMJ story to me, thank god(haha) he hasn't lost that! Where'd we all be without him?! :lol:

[the chi]

Oh wow, I am so sorry to hear this! Here's wishing you a speedy and easy recovery and try not to drive your kind wife nuts!! Get Well Soon!!

[azoomm]

You know, we're all going to start thinking that everyone is going around just trying to one-up Heather.... y'all can stop it now, at any time. We can all be OK with Heather winning the injured list. SERIOUSLY!!!

JC, get well man... quickly and completely. Mrs. JC, Hi there... nice to meet you!!

[Adeptus_Minor]

Well, if the picture is to be believed, at least you're reading a great book.
:dthumb:
Paulo Coelho is a great storyteller.

[thunderex]

Wow, scary news AMJ. Best wishes going out to you and yours. Here's to a speedy recovery.

[tommymac]

They shoulda brought you to my ER to take care of ya :lol: glad to see youre making it home and all is well, def sounded like an interesting case from the pm's but glad to see things are goiong in the right direction.

Tom

[Fleck750]

Get well, and for what it's worth, I'd give my left arm for some real Black Forest cake.

[Riceaholic]

You'll be in my thoughts brother. Keep your chin up and your arteries flowing...

[thunderex]

That back wall of equipment looks surprisingly disorganized for a German hospital. I figured it would be all bare translucent walls with light shining through.

[wildchild]

Hey if you think you're going to have two of those huge "festive" days celebrating your death you have another thing coming. One is all you get. now man the hell up and get out of there before they cut the wrong leg off or something.


better days

[Amorok]

Hey man, glad you can still talk, I'd hate it if something happened to you. Feel better.

[shmike]

Well, that would put a new twist on the Easter story....

Heal up quick, JC.

You are in our thoughts.

[Rider]

Wow that sucks JC. Glad you are still with us though. Heal up soon.

[Krabill]

Heal up quick and get back home.

Thanks for the update Mrs. JC!

[buzzcutt2]

Positive thoughts for a speedy recovery...even though I saw a pic of you, I still don't believe. :idk:

[Rsv1000R]

A guy I worked with a long time ago had a plugged carotid artery, he told me he got a roto-rooter job on it.

Here's good book that'll give you something to read about regarding your ability to spell.
Frames of Mind, The Theory of Multiple Intelligences (http://www.amazon.com/Frames-Mind-Theory-Multiple-Intelligences/dp/0465025102)

Good luck, get well soon!

[HurricaneHeather]

JC, get well man... quickly and completely. Mrs. JC, Hi there... nice to meet you!!

:lol: I think I might pass the torch to AMJ on this one. Afterall, I was in the States and almost all of my nurses spoke English :lol:

Actually, now that I think about it, he's probably being taken better care of than I was in the hospital :scratch: And I didn't get any cake! Ah, hell I'm keeping the worst injury title for now.

Please, no one else try and take that from me....I don't do well hearing about others being hurt now. :(

[julie j]

Get well soon! This place would not be the same without you.

[Leon]

WOW! I hope you have a full and speedy recovery.

On a side note, once you up and about, can you ship a piece of that cake my way?

[AquaPython]

crazy story - feel better !

i guess the cake really is a lie

[Papa_Complex]

I was thinking that maybe he SHOULD care if it's Hitler cake.

[anthonyk]

Wowsa! Get better soon!

[AquaPython]

when i first saw this thread title i had to double check what forum i am in.

my saltwater tank forums get a lot of "aptasia" threads. i am sure you do not have a case of that.

[askmrjesus]

Thank's everyone, I'll let you know how the follow up tests go tomorrow.

To answer the burning question in everyones#s mind, yes there is cake left, and no, you can't have it.

Oddly, that was one of the first questions I asked my wife.
"My mom saved it for you" she said.
"Really?"
"We are Bavarians. Stroke or not, we don't throw cake away."

That made sense to me, but I coudn't help but wonder what would happen to it if I've died?

Would the death cake be burried along side of me, as a faithful confectionary companion into the under world? Would it be set out to sea in a wooden boat, like some sort of returning Bavarian Viking?

Now I'll never know.

JC



Wifez here (damn z/y switch):
Thanks for all your responses and pm's. I took a print-out of this thread to the hospital and he wrote his response in no time. He's improving every day, but for now his spelling is worth than mine....

PS - We really need a picture of the cake that took AMJ down... Just sayin'

Or maybe the recipe? That way we can make it and give it to people we dont like. :devil: Unless of course it only causes near death in dieities?

Good Germans are hard to find, especially cake makers. And if she's willing to give out the recipe, I'll take a copy.

[goof2]

Feel better AMJ. Be glad it was Black Forrest Cherry instead of Death by Chocolate. You'd have been totally screwed.

[azoomm]

mmmmmm Cake... fat kids LOVE cake.

What a fantastic group we are. Quite the disfunctional family. :lol: We go from a near death experience to wanting the cake recipe.

we now know the secret: Christs kryponite is german cake!! All you atheists take note! But wait, if you dont beleive in him, whats the point of taking him down??!!

:lol: Glad to hear te recovery is going so well, keep up the quick healing and we hope to see him back in full force soon! Thanks for keeping us updated Ms. JC!

Sidenote: I cant help but picture the cake in a longboat...:rofl:

[Archren]

On a somewhat unrelated note... thanks, JC, you got me hooked on Paolo Coelho. Not necessarily a bad thing.. but I just started the Sword of Truth series, the next Jim Butcher book is due to come out in 2 weeks, and now I have the hankering to go read my mom's Paolo Coelho books. I may just have to borrow them from her and take them with me on my deployment.. not like I won't have some time to kill (better to read than spend all my free time playing Halo :lol: ).

[udman]

HOLY POPE ON A ROPE!!!!

Sorry to hear about this AMJ. Stay in good spirits and get well.

[Angee]

So what's the latest? You doing ok, JC?

[askmrjesus]

So what's the latest? You doing ok, JC?

Things have gotten a little weirder over the last day, but I'm ok.

Test results yesterday revealed more of the same, which is neither good or bad in my situation. The artery is still not open for business, but my brain no longer shops there, so fuck him. There was no place to park anyway.

My immeditate problem is my new roommate, Herr Georg. He has, in my professialon opionin, lost his marbles. Given his age, (some where between 90 and 132) I estimate his marbles jumped ship some time in the late 1970's.

He likes to talk to himself, flowerpots, walls, coffee cups, and, of course, me. The trouble is, none of us can understand a goddamn word he says. He also has a habit of making animal noises, (to be fair, they might actually be bird noises, which I guess is slighty better) and making the sound '' Ooooh-bis-bis-bis-bis'' when ever he hears a siren. Our room is seven floors above the ER entrance, so this is a pettry common place occurance.

None of that however, strikes me as stange. Old goofy people can be found everywhere, and hospitals are certainly no exception. What does strike me as stanrge, is the wierd competion between us, in which each one of us thinks the other is the crazy one. I, apparentenly, am the one who is out of place here.

It's like being in a Kaukfa novel, where none of the charcters know who the talking bug is. The just certain it's not them.

For the time being, I'm just going to avoid eye contact, and pretend I'm not really in the same room.

JC

[Fleck750]

Offer him some cake, maybe they'll take him to a different floor.

[askmrjesus]

The phcych ward is right down the hall, I think he just got lost.

JC

You're not supposed to rise again until April. But we'll forgive you. Or maybe you can do an encore April 12 ;)

That's what his wife said too. :lol:

[KSGregman]

Hey hey!!

JC is disconnected from all the German technology and is back to the land of the living....again....and RIGHT back into the cake, I see.

What is that all about? Hair of the dog? Nine lives like a cat? In tight with the Man Upstairs? Just plain showing off? Take it easy, eh?

And, uh....you may want to read the fine print on this "risen from the dead" contract of yours, too...I think you may have overlooked some sort of proviso or exclusionary clause or something....you know, like the bearer of this document is entitled to reconstitution from death brought about by excessive flogging and/or crucifixion (but is irrevocably fucked if death is brought about by consumption of German Black Forest Cake (tm)...) :lmao:

Seriously...it's good to see you getting up and around...hopefully, you and the wife will be home together again soon. :dthumb:

[Librarian]

Reading Kesey, huh? Methinks you should be reading Cuckoo's Nest. Sounds like you're already there in some respects.

Pinch a nurse for me! (don't read this, Wifez!)

[askmrjesus]

A side note on German hospitals...

If you want to get healthy, don't come to one. Oh sure, the medical care is first rate, and they have all the latest gadets, cutting edge procedures and techniques. You can definetly get better here, but healthly, er, no.

Since I just had a stroke caused by a clogged artery, I figured a hospital would be a good place to change my wicked ways, and give up smoking and drinking (at least for the weekend). My first trip to the lobby proved that is perhaps the not best place for such dramatic lifestyle changes.

At the far end, the is lovely little cafe that offers espresso, giant saugases, and...cake. Again with the fucking cake...

Next door, is a small deli that sells a big hunks of fat laden cheese, beer, wine, and of course, cigarettes. Can't have a proper hospital without those, now could you? If the deli is closed, there are beer and cigarette machines near the back elevators.

Smoking is frowned upon in the hospital, unless you count the 3 sided glass kisok on the mezzaine, the open air pavillions outside each door, and the balconies at the end of each and everone of the hallways with patient rooms. There is even a ''smoking place'' outside the chaple, for sinners on the go. I've been to casinos in Bangkok that had fewer places to smoke.

The only I haven't seen yet is a brothel.

Then again, I haven't been to the 8th floor yet either...

JC

Jesus, Jesus! I am glad you are ok and apparently haven't lost any of your humor and wit. :rockwoot:

[askmrjesus]

So, Jesus when do you get to come home to the States?

Not sure yet. Fucking doctors are all, ''We need more tests, blah, blah, blah.''

Fuck that bullshit. The artery is either open or closed, give me the goddamed ultrasound, and I'll fucking do it myself. Buncha pussies.

They've pushed to me back to a release on Thursday, with any luck, I'll be on a plane by Tuesday.

It could be worse though. I have an old friend who works for Audi, which is right in here in town (Ingolstadt). He's smuggling me out for dinner tonight. The doctors are going to shit kittens when they find out, but that's thier problem.

JC

[Particle Man]

Get teh fuck out!! That's where my mom lived!! My son went to school there for a year and my mom just moved back to Seattle in November!! No shit.

Hurry up and get the fuck out of there - bad food, annoying nurses? have frun at dinner at least!

Obviously wifey can't say I told you so by simply playing on omniscience, so she actually has to tell you so.

Then again, "You should have known better" is pretty much a given.

[asdgirl]

Just no seeing this! So glad you are doing better (or unchanged). Have fun at dinner!

Now, since nothing has gotten better or worse what happens now? Do you come back to the states to see a specialist? I can't imagine they send you home to wait for it to happen again ....?

Glad you are okay ;)

True, but when have you ever known me to make the disntction between knowing better, and doing it anyway? :lol:

Not particularly, but "He gave his only begotten son so that they could eat cake." doesn't have quite the ring to it. In fact it sounds vaguely French.

It was a strong German cake, not the wussie French stuff.

Now, since nothing has gotten better or worse what happens now? Do you come back to the states to see a specialist? I can't imagine they send you home to wait for it to happen again ....?



That's about the size of it.

Operating on the artery now is too risky (some bullshit about my head filling up with blood). If it opens up on it's own, I'm cool. If it opens up just a little bit, that's cool too. If it stays the way it is, that's also cool, but not as cool as it could be.

In the service, this is known as ''hurry up and wait''.

How was dinner?

Remember, too much schnitzel can lead to heartburn, which the good doctors will think is a heart attack.

Hmmmm. Wonder what these paddles do? CLEAR! :zowned:

Dinner was great. We found an Indian place that made a great Lamb curry.

Only problem was, the hospital closes it's doors at 8:30. Took forever for the bastards to let me back in. :zowned:

If it wasn't for the portable heart monitor I was wearing, I'd still be on the front porch. :lol:

Same old story. There's never any room at the Inn...

Damn........Aphasia, never heard of it before. Must be why I never bothered clicking on this until now, I thought it was going to be about some apostle or saint or something. :lol: Glad to see you're doing better.
