Clinical narrative: He got his vaccine, he had no reaction, but on 12/14/2021 he woke up from a deep sleep and he has a person who has never had pain issues.  He woke up to a pain in his head that felt like somebody had their thumbs inside his skull trying to push his eyeballs out of his head.  He has never had a headache or migraines, worse pain he has ever had in his life.  He went to the kitchen, felt dizzy and then decided to sit down on the floor.  He was never nauseated, was sitting on his knees with his face toward the ceiling and started vomiting profusely.  His wife came in the kitchen and he was having seizures, could not talk, was foaming at the mouth and she called 9-1-1.  He was taken to the local a Hospital and met the helicopter there and they then flew him in a helicopter to Hospital to the neurosurgeon.  He coded in the helicopter and was resuscitated.  Once he got to the hospital they did a CAT scan and was diagnosed with a brain bleed and they send him for craniotomy.  The doctor said that the brain bled was in the right frontal lobe upper hemisphere at 2:00 right above his temple, and the blood clot was the size of a lemon.  He did not have any parts of his brain cut out, just the clot itself, and some of the neurons were damaged and communication to the left side.   He was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation during his stay in the ICU.  He was in the ICU for 6 weeks.  The doctor told his wife that he was probably not going to make it as he had never seen anything like that before.  He now is crippled, he cannot do anything.  He is a dentist and had to give that up and his staff was without a job.  He had to be in rehab for about 9 months, which was awful.  This was something new to him as he had never been sick a day in his life.  He had never missed a day of school through all of his years in school.  He was tied to the bed so that he would not have any seizures or fall.    It is almost 2 years now and he his doctor told him that he will probably not get the feeling back in his leg. the left leg is gone.  He got the feeling back in his left arm.  He was so active doing his landscaping and cannot do anything but eat and sleep.     He cannot be left alone, he cannot drive a car.  He lost his carrier, his home, patient's and staff.   He is not used to sitting around, and his whole life has changed.  He is miserable not being able to do anything.    He went to rehab at Rehab facility for about 9 months or so, and was moved to a different facility the last few months where he was getting more time for PT trying to get him to walk, which did not work.  The stroke also affected his urinary system and he also sees a urologist.   The cardiologist put a loop recorder implanted so that the reading goes to his office if there are any episodes, but he has not had any problems with that.    He had a seizure about 2 months ago that affected his arm.    The surgeon is Neurosurgeon, Dr.; his assistant who knows his situation; Cardiologist, Dr.; Dr. is his neurologist; his urologist is Dr.     He can use a walker and is in a wheelchair.  He was told that he would not walk, would probably be a vegetable, but he is alive and able to communicate.
