Back from Meningitis! I'm still alive !!!

On 11th of May. I enjoyed the AnD anniversary party. To tell the truth I had slightly headache at the party. Next day I flew back to Tokyo and started working as ususal. At night I felt something strange. I never had that heavy headache. I couldn't eat, couldn't walk. I just kept sleeping for 6 days. ( I got 1500ml injection/day at home)

I thought it was just a headache. After 6days suddenely I passed out. It was 19th. After that I still refused to go to the hospital even I couldn't move my right hand. Because I was scared. I grew up in my dad's hospital but I had never been to other hospital as a patient. I felt like someone would cut my head!

Anyway, my parents took me to the hospital for brain surgery. At that time, I couldn't talk. I was trying to talk, but I couldn't find the words in my brain. It was like someone stole my favourite words from my brain. I was supposed to say "asthma", but I couldn't find it. I explained it "it is an allergy....coughing a lot!"  Really strange experience.

They checked my spinal fluid (bloody painful) and it wasn't clear because of virus. I got Chiken pox virus when I was 3 and it had been sleeping in my nerve since then. The diagnosis was "Meningitis" . It might be caused by virus. But noone knows. If it was bacterial, I might be disabled. So scarey!  I think I was really tired at that moment and the virus started working........

Today I moved to my dad's hospital. I feel much better. But I need some more rest here. I still have to get some injection which I hate!!!!

Thanks for all my friends who sent me messages when I was dying. I'm still alive!
