She was one of the strongest and smartest people I’ve ever known in my life and I’m so blessed and grateful that she brought me into this world. Her wit and tenacity and resilience were thankfully passed on to me, as was her bravery. She stuck around long enough to get to know her granddaughter Layla and to see me and my sister both graduate from high school. These things are more than I ever could have asked for. I wish like hell she could see me graduate college next year, meet my future spouse, and that my future children - her grandchildren - could have met their grandmother. They would have loved her.</span></span></div></div><div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="a23o2" data-offset-key="5nrhe-0-0" style="animation-name: none !important; background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px; transition-property: none !important; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="5nrhe-0-0" style="animation-name: none !important; direction: ltr; position: relative; transition-property: none !important;"><span data-offset-key="5nrhe-0-0" style="animation-name: none !important; transition-property: none !important;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br data-text="true" style="animation-name: none !important; transition-property: none !important;" /></span></span></div></div><div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="a23o2" data-offset-key="7qi6n-0-0" style="animation-name: none !important; background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px; transition-property: none !important; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="7qi6n-0-0" style="animation-name: none !important; direction: ltr; position: relative; transition-property: none !important;"><span data-offset-key="7qi6n-0-0" style="animation-name: none !important; transition-property: none !important;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">My mom loved my sister and I so much and was always so proud of us, even when we struggled.

This was after I got out of a hospital. This was the right person to write, though. I was coming out of Locked-In Syndrome and he has written on it extensively. As for speaking, my first words were never charted? I was still in a hospital at that point. I can't help lousy paperwork. My writing has never been documented by the government. I guess I don't speak, either.</span></div><div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr" style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr" style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Speaking of paperwork, what happened to all papers from Stanford?

A portion of the stomach is removed. Lesser known is Gastric Balloon. A balloon is inflated in the stomach with the intent of always making the patient feel full. (If you need weight loss surgery, talk to your doctor, and yes there is a feeding tube diet.)</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr" style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The feeding tube also puts a balloon into the stomach. Nobody ever sees this part, but doctors and nurses know it is there. The feeding tube has an inner tube. (Some other devices do, too.) After it is inserted, the doctor or nurse inflates the unseen balloon usually with saline. Saline is the sterile water used. It has added salt and I believe it is supposed to match the water in the body.</span></div><div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr" style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr" style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CW3Z-lzLdSQ" width="320" youtube-src-id="CW3Z-lzLdSQ"></iframe></div><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">I like this video because it shows the balloon.</span></div><div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr" style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">This is pediatric, so mine is bigger.</span></div><div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr" style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr" style="font-size: 16px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr" style="font-size: 16px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr" style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The guidelines go as follow:</span></div><div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr" style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr" style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">1.

There is a second inner hole that starts closing within a few hours of feeding tube removal. There is no room for changing the mind. If the hole closes then surgery is needed allover again. If fortunately there is a bit of a hole, the doctor can use a medieval looking device. My tube came out once and I know.

Formula is what goes in the tube. Who started calling this stuff food? The stuff in the hospital has been unflavored and sometimes vanilla. It's a liquid diet. There is no solid food. At home, some supply companies have offered chocolate and strawberry. I currently take advantage of butter pecan.

It was brain surgery, though, and outcomes take a long time. Yes,
everyone saw the immediate result, the removal of impending death.
The AVM was removed but no one saw what grew there to take its
place. I haven't even seen. I can only go by outward behavior...and
that looks very good!</span>

Nothing is there to bleed, now. You would know this if you read the
records. You would know this if you didn't delete the
records.</span>

never gave me Speech Therapy. Why would I swallow?</span>

I attribute writing to neural repair surgery performed at another hospital. Writing could not occur unless I was alive. These two hospitals are responsible for the current outcome.

As you can see, I have a YouTube site, but I don't primarily use it. Some folks may like LinkedIn. I've noticed quite a few brain injury associated persons over here. Twitter is still my personal favorite. As a side, MySpace still exists, but it is a shell of it's former beauty.</span></div><div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr" style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr" style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The take is that the internet is huge...

(I was lucky a paramedic was there.) I was on a ventilator for months after the initial surgery, and I had the ventilator tube in my neck a couple years. There was danger that I'd have to be hooked back up again. I don't have that anymore.

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I bled so much that I required a transfusion. It was a closed wound injury, so blood was never seen. I just know it ran down my neck. I must have passed it. I was in a coma and did not see.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">"Blood ran down your neck," I heard. This is unusual. In a brain bleed, pressure builds, the brain is smashed down (it blocks the neck), and with enough blood, the person dies. There is no escape of blood. It drowns surrounding tissue.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I'd call the surgery process biological engineering. It was at the blood vessel level. Genetic engineering gets even smaller. It's at the DNA level.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">The mask covers the mouth. You can't see lip movement and facial expression. I must be using facial cues to communicate. The world is in the middle of a pandemic and every one is covering their face!</span></div>
