Very sorry to hear that! I was in the hospital a few weeks ago with a serious infection following surgery. Very glad to get out of that alive myself!
Have you been treated for Lyme for a long time? Did they put you on blood thinners now? Many with Lyme have hypercoagulation and that puts us at risk for strokes.
I hope your recovery goes well. Hang in there!

Glad you are joining us, but sorry you are having such a hard time. Take good care of yourself.
The lesions on your brain are a common Lyme symptom -- you could have Lyme and other tick-borne diseases and NOT MS. Many are misdiagnosed with MS when they really have Lyme.
My husband has "several" brain lesions and he also has tremors which progress into seizure-like spells. It is really scarey for me because he has these episodes 2 or 3 times a day.
When he has these spells, sometimes he can only babble nonsense and other times his jaw locks up and he can't speak at all. I always worry that he could really be having a stroke and I wouldn't know the difference.
Seizure meds don't work for him -- have tried 5 or 6 different ones. When he takes antibiotics and herxes he could have 4 or 5 episodes a day and the tremors are much worse. Hubby also has babesia and bartonella.
Hope you are seeing a LLMD and are getting Lyme treatment. Have you been tested or treated for coinfections?
