Mid October 1994, young EI was studying A'Levels at St Brendan's sixth form college. I loved autumn and with a spring in my step would walk to get the coach stop every morning leering at girls well and boys, to me college felt like the start of a new life, and it was.....
Have you ever had that feeling after a heavy night of smoking weed, the muzzy slightly bunged up feeling in your brain? That's what I was feeling, minor headaches that would feel uncomfortable but by mid morning they would generally vanish and I saw no reason to see a doctor or to mention it to my parents.
October 1994, I started to have problems walking to my coach stop, my feet wouldn't go in front of each other, Hell that's a problem whoever you are and for EI, walking was a necessity. I couldn't walk in a straight line, swaying like Colin Farrell on a weekend in Dublin, from one side of the pavement to the other, there were a few possibilities here. Was I getting enough sleep? Or maybe wanking was seeping my mind of any balance. Thing is I was 16 years old, 16. Nothing serious happens when you are 16. Adults are there to deal with serious things or ignore them yet appear like they are dealing with them.
So, I was having trouble walking and concentrating but as I said these feelings eventually went away and that was the thing, because the symptoms went away, why should I think there was something serious going on?! It wasn't that hard to put up with. No one noticed either; they attributed these nuisances with a troublesome teenager.
7th November 1993, my family are a family, sitting down for meals, watching Television together yada yada yada. So it wasn't unusual for us all to sit down to a home cooked meal. Home made lasagne. Lovely. Hmmm this lasagne tasted well.....of..nothing
EI> Can you pass the pepper please dad?
Dad> Pardon?
Me> cannnn u pwease uh pepper pass please wad?
Dad> Son... Are you drunk?
Me> do you talk to you?
Dad> Im over here son, now get upstairs and sleep it off, you are drunk and a disgrace, we don't want you at the table.
Me> whaaaa? You can shu ya face up Popeye on television
I went upstairs and collapsed, my body contorted and eyes glazed over, I knew I was alive but couldn't register my thoughts. They were all downstairs, unaware of what had happened. I felt alone. I forced myself to slip off my bed and the noise was heard downstairs, the last thing I remember is being carried out to the blue ford sierra of which number plate I memorized at the time. I didn't even realise where I was going, I could hear the noise of my mother kissing my cheek but I couldn't feel it. My body was lifeless but I could think. It's the weirdest experience I have ever had.
The doctor sent me straight to the hospital. Where I stayed for a few weeks, they decided Id had a number of blood clots on the back of my brain and suffered a series of strokes. At the time I was one of the youngest people to of ever suffered a stroke. Wicked.
Those muzzy headaches every morning, those were all minor strokes that affected my balance and thoughts. I shouldn't of ignored them.
I was scared of course. It was an event that changes your life, most people on Uber have been through one experience that has changed their lives, a moment when they realised what's important and what's not. I learnt that my family love me and that's one of the most valuable feelings I have ever experienced and ever will..
With any head trauma you of course have an MRI scan. To this day I am slightly wary of hospitals, I entered the hospital with my mother, I didn't want to be inside this machine and even though I was 16 , I needed my mum there with me. .
Once I was inside the MRI machine they asked if I would like any music on, Phew, some background noise to block out the clunking of the machine.
The machine started slowly and the music faded in, my mother desperately held onto my hand, I smiled back at her.
Suddenly the speakers blared out 'Everybody Hurts' By R.E.M, my mum who knows nothing about music leapt to her feet, flinging her arms at the people behind the plastic screen to stop.
I just stared up at the grey machine.
At least it wasn't lupus.

yeah at least it wasn't MS.
did they find the cause of the strokes? thick blood etc?
do you take medication now still to prevent clotting?
can you fly long haul etc?
--------------
I was sent up to Great Ormond St Hospital as i was such a rare case, it was a blood clot on the back of my pain possibly caused by trauma but they never did figure out the exact cause.
I am meant to still take medication. Orginally I was on warfarin (rat poison) then aspirin and now clopidogral, not that I have taken it for about 5 years.
I flew to Oz last February so that was fine and was never advised not too.
That is how i look at the whole situation though, at least it wasn't MS or a really terrible illness.
Only way i think.

i went to bed one night when i was 18, ok, with a slight stomach ache and woke up with my gut on fire. i vomited everything out of my stomach after crawling to the toilet, only to continue to dry heave for the next twenty minutes. i convinced my parents to take me to the hospital, where i had to have an emergency surgery to prevent myself from going septic- apparently i had an previously unknown birth defect that affects a percent of a percent at my age. it saved my life. weird.

Orphelia, I'll tell you what's up with me. I went to fucking grocer yesterday and I couldn't find your fucking lucky charms, but I'm going to a different one tonight and will mail your package with a surprise in there as well. What's really wrong with me is that I can't get over the fact that I fucked some girl silly, one that looks exactly like you, almost to the t. I want you to send me more pictures with the mop handle in your cunt. I liked those.

In Australia we throw sickly children like you over the cliff. Unfortunately our landscape is pretty much devoid of any undulating mounds much like lisa or your boyfriend so even if they just get up and dust off their trousers or skirts we relegate them to new zealand, which has a profoundly positive effect on all the remedial english migrant kiddies. like smiting your nose to spite your face.
