going crazy

[RoDNeY]

today has been the worst day in the world,
i drove to school got out of my car bam a flat tire, i sneak out of class jack up my car switch tires, in the middle of doing this my Girlfriends mom calls me and tells me that sam(gf) was in school and lost all feeling in her mouth and she cant talk and she lost feeling in the left side of her body and they were taking her to the children hospital and the doctors are saying she has pressure in her brain and shes gunna need surgery and shit.. and its only 2pm the day can still get worse. and on top of that i have to go to work in 2 minutes...does anyone know any info about that medical stuff and what it would take to fix it or soemthing so i could have some peace of mind in some sorts?

[Jerome Scuggs]

i can only offer condolences and hope noone here at twforums makes fun of your situation.

a pressure in the brain can be a number of things, but i believe ssurgery would correct the pressure itself... i hope she's ok

[Liquid Blue]

wow, that's rough man. I hope everything turns out ok for her.

[Squeezer]

gah, not to worry you more, but that sounds like a stroke.

My grandmother had a few, before she basically became a vegetable and we had to pull her off life support.

Sucks man, I hope it all works out

[Fit of Rage]

Pressure in the brain can also be a warning sign of meningitis. Hope everything works out.

[Facetious]

That sucks, dude. All I can say is I had something similar happen to me, and I ended up fine. I didn't lose feeling in my body but like all my extremities started tingling, and I could talk, but it didn't make any sense. I swear, this happened at work, I wasn't on drugs. I went to the doctor and got a bunch of tests, and they said I was perfectly healthy. So things that seem really bad aren't always.

[Bioture]

first things first.
take off work (which you didn't, I'm assuming) and go to the hospital to be with her.

[Hero*]

sorry to hear that dude.
like bio said, take off work. be with her
her skull could just be filling up with liquid which is causing pressure on the brain. this wouldnt be that bad because its easy to fix. hope things go alright.

Fluid buildup is easy, they just put in a shunt and let it out periodically

[cReEmY]

sorry to hear that. I'm a dentist but if i was a neurosurgeon i probably would have known.

[Nickname]

yeah man, who cares about a flat when your girlfriend could be in trouble. I hope everything turns out to be fine, and she has a speedy recovery.

[Audit]

Condolences bro. It sounds like it could either just be a fluid buildup or possibly a stroke (although I don't think a stroke would put pressure on the brain? but I know they cause loss of feeling). Good luck to you and your girl, best wishes to you both.

[Jeansi]

Your girlfriend is of such an age that they take her to a childrens hospital?

Respect.
