Spill Paint-Wind up in Hospital!
Posted by Tanker-Builder on Wednesday, March 8, 2023 8:17 AM

Hi Ya'll;

        I hope you might not be upset if I openly share something with you. It has nothing to do with the paint I spilled, But what happened after. Had a spasm in my left hand.Knocked over full bottle of paint.Cleaned up myself and said paint. Now here's the clincher.

       Went outide and had a cigarette/cuppa Coffee, talked to neighbor. Came back in the house. Next thing I know I hear Sirens and see flashing lights. then nothing, then more of the same. Finally I realize I am a strange room with a Doctor talking to me in a Video conferrence scenario. Had to force every word out. it's like I had to spell them in my head and Blurt them out forcefully.

       Turns out it's a strange coincidence. A group of nerves in the neck that had been damages in 2016 decided to be heard fom. This in turn created a cascade to the brain that triggered a Parkinson's fugue. Interesting, in that I knew my neck has been wrong since the accident, But Parkinson's? Well, the Diagnosis is positive. I got it. I thought My shaking was simply from old age and a not easy life. Surprise,Surprise!

       So in closing, If you shake more than older aging might indicate.Get it checked anyway.Now I know and can deal.

That's a real bugger TB. I've been dealing with an essential tremor for years now, but to date no one can tell me what's essential about it! Take good care.

Essentially Dodgy it's to just a way to force you to see a doctor once in awhile. OR it's cause we're getting old. I don't tremble however my fingers lock in the wierdest most i opportune time.

we're modelers it's what we do

Yeah Dodgy!

       Essential My Butt!

 Nothing that makes life uncomfortable or not fun is essential. The M.D. tried that on me some years ago. Having been My Late Doctor wifey's devil's advocate for her orals when necessary I learned about different things that can affect the body. Come to find the multiple times I had my Bell rung from falls and machineryfails has made me susceptible to neurological disorders that are triggered externally afterwards. Parkinsons in agrravated by those very factors.That I didn't know.There is a history of it in some of the folks I have worked with. One such chap was steady as a rock in his twenties. By the time he was in his forties he shook like a shake mixer, because-he got nailed in the head to many times by two x fours on jobsites( Hardhats weren't required then.) Yes, folks can be omittingly stupid on construction sites!

Good luck to you with this.

I sure hope it progresses slowly.

This is something I wouldn't wish on Godzilla.

My mom was diagnosed with Parkinsons October 2007 when she was 82. It constantly aggravated her and she really struggled with it. 6 years later she was hospitalized and passed away in October 2013 after stumbling and hitting her head at home.

She was a sweet, gentle and caring mom right to the very end.
