The hospital just phoned, they are going to X-ray his head to make sure there is no bleeding, that was also part of the procedure before in 2014. He also said he is calmer, probably more or different sedation. Because they say his heart muscle is weaker they want to go in again to find out why,
I told him it took 3 days for him to recover last time, would it perhaps be better to wait a day longer to see if it recovered on its own. He said he will consult his colleagues and I assume call me back.

I have just looked up on facts when this happened before. It was Jan. 2014.

The worst week of my life The worst week of my life was in January last year when he made medical history. As I said, Hans has a heart problem, he already had 1 stent and had the second last year. I was waiting for him to call me to say it was over, but had a call from a doctor instead telling me Hans had become very aggressive, was this normal. She said they had sedated him. Luckily the doctor spoke some English, but not enough for me to fully understand what was going on. I said I would come and insisted on seeing the Professor who performed the operation, I knew he spoke good English because he had worked in the UK. The hospital is 1 hours journey away. As soon as the prof. told me while he was carrying out the procedure Hans said "I do not understand" I knew he had Migraine Aura. I was shocked when I saw Hans strapped to a bed. It had taken 4 medics to hold him down and that was the reason for the sadative which we were told afterwards was nearly enough to knock out an elephant. After the stent is inserted you need to lay perfectly still for 5 hours to allow the vein to fuze. He was knocked out for 3 days, he had no idea when he finally came round that he had lost 3 days. It is still not known why the migraine caused the violant movement, the professor has searched all medical books etc, but found no explanation. It was the only time I have felt alone whilst in this country.
Now it has happened all over again, like a carbon copy.

It must be incredibly frustrating not knowing for sure just what is really going on. It does all sound very similar.

I have just finished talking to a lady doctor who spoke good English. Hans has had a CT brain scan to rule out bleeding, all clear. She asked if they could do another scan using the contrast agent to rule out a stroke, I refused, I know its not a stoke and I am still not convinced this contrast agent doesn't have something to do with it, plus he has had migraine auras since he was 18 and they have been mistaken for strokes and CT scans taken, found the brain, with no damage. I have just read the report I made in 2014 and kept in his medical folder and everything is identical, CT scan, Neurologist seeing him on several occasions as now. If it runs the same course from now on he should be back in the land of the living by tomorrow midday and he won't have a clue what has happened. I won't say I am relaxed about it, I will be very glad when tomorrow afternoon is here.

I think it's often the case that you may well be right when you know someone's condition so well Milly. Fingers crossed he is well tomorrow.

Jan
I especially came on here before bed to find out if there was a late-night bulletin.
As you and others said; let us just wait for a good recovery tomorrow.
Have a stiff nightcap and I hope you sleep.

A quick recovery is not going to happen, just had a call to tell me he has pneumonia, in a coma in an incubator and ventilator. I will go in the morning as soon as I can. Left my g&t until late in case and I wouldn't attempt driving now.

Jan, so sorry to hear your news as I have only just had a chance to catch up with the past day or so. Thoughts are with you both and I sincerely hope that you are right about Han's conditioning improving. I don't want to be glib and say stay strong but I do hope that you can. There can be nothing worse than seeing a loved one in such a turmoil and not being able to help. X

Left my g&t until late in case and I wouldn't attempt driving now. We crossed posts. I really wish I could be of more help to you as you must feel like you are on your own. Heartfelt wishes to Hans and you both.

As said, all the Fruits are here and thinking of you and Hans Milly. Most of them are bonkers (except me of course) but we are all family on here.

I never normally get involved in medical threads, it's just my way but I hope Hans gets sorted as it seems to have gone on for ever. I am not unfeeling Milly, just not vocal about it. It would be a different matter if I was there but I ain't, so keep your chin up and hope for the best.
