    SEE?

    THAT is why I need to put T-track on the dash! Then I can mount the phone where it's Right There if / when I need it. My wife will say that's too ugly, take it out.

    I already stop to check people who pulled over, usually just a thumb-up-shrug thing, but stuff happens. Tires flatten w/ no one in the car able to solve that, and every heart yet that hasn't stopped, will.

    Wow. I rarely have time to read entire threads here and of course this one made me stop.

    WOW. If these docs can't figure it out, no matter how insulting to them, get someone who can. Stat.

    Yeah I am the clown who will help someone stuck or struggling.....

    Wow.

    Quite the life changing experience. Glad you are on the mend and hopefully find the root cause of why this happened.

    Thank you for sharing.

    I'm off my IV, at least for awhile. Last night I woke up soaking wet and shivering. My pillow, blankets and sheets were all drenched in sweat.

    Left legs still not working, right leg moves a inch or so if I really push it.

    Edit: One of the head doctors just came in, he is pushing hard on it being west Nile.
