I will follow up by posting some useful things I learned from this, but here is what occurred: Last Friday, I, suddenly, could not say more that one word at a time. It did not make sense either. My S.O. took me to ER, where this "ability to say one word only" continued. They performed a CT and it showed no stroke. I was then admitted to the hospitals Neuro Unit. It became SCAREY from there.
Every time I awoke, I did not know where I was, why I was there or what day/time of year it was. I USUALLY do not get frightened but THIS really scared me.
Fortunately I had my watch (I ALWAYS wear a watch) and had a TV I could turn on, to see what day it was. I also had a window so that helped with "time of day". Sheesh, I felt like I was "Jason Bourne" (insert laugh here).
EVENTUALLY, I was given a small notebook. I used that notebook to keep my sanity, by making the notebook "MY PERSONAL" Chart. I kept writing in it, so I could look up what was happening. I DO suggest this for anyone going into the hospital, as it helps you "keep up" with what is happening.
