I had a “Bleed” 21 years ago. My son found me “Unresponsive” and called for help. I was taken to St. Anthony’s Hospital in Denver Colorado, and my condition was stableised and then transferred to Mediplex Specialty Hospital in Thornton, Colorado. I woke up two days later to see my doctor standing over me. He asked me if I knew where I was? I told him that I was in the hospital. He asked, “Who is the president of the Untied States?” I told him, “Ronald Reagan.” He asked me “What year is it?” I told him, “1984.”
Realistically it was 2000, and the President was Bush. I think? And that is where this nightmare started. So I went back to sleep. I was woken up by a nurse after a few hours few hours but it seemed like FIVE SECONDS later, “Leo, Wake up! I need you to drink this cup of water.” I grabbed it and swallowed it down. The nurse said to me, “Good. I think its safe to take the feeding tube out of you now.”


So I reached down and grabbed the tube and pulled it out! (I will never forget the look on that nurses face when I did that! LOL) Poor gal. Back to sleep! šŸ˜€
Five seconds later, “Leo wake up, trays are here.”

I had a bleed because I drank a beer while on Antibuse. The allergic reaction increased my heart rate so much it burst a capillary in my brain.
