So for all my miracle believing friends, I'd say this was a miracle.
Now it's New Year's Eve 2013.......
When I sleepily awoke in my hospital bed, I was happily dreaming in Spanish. The nurse walked into the room and said "Good morning." I responded in Spanish. She looked at me puzzled and flipped into Spanish as well and asked me how I slept. "Muy bien." As I became alert, I continued to speak to her in Spanish and we talked about my breakfast to come. As she took my right arm to take a blood sample, she continued to speak in Spanish but as I became fully alert, I was no longer fluent in Spanish and could no longer understand all that she said without great effort. I said "Sorry, I'm not fluent." She looked at me puzzled again and flipped back to English. As blood was draining from my body in a very controlled way, I was thinking "Whoa! This is cool what else can I do?"
Since the seizure, this is now one of the things I can do now that I couldn't do in the past two years or ever in some cases is:
I am now able to add, multiple and divide large numbers in my head. So far I can multiple 3 numbers by 3 numbers without too much trouble. I can add 6 digit numbers up to 4 in a row without thinking about it. Division is a little more complicated, so I can only divide 2 number up to 3 digits each. I have never been able to do the division in my head before like I can now. I can remember the number Pi up to 20 digits past the decimal point. And remembering phone numbers, even the out of the country numbers, is a piece of cake. You may think, what is the big deal......I can do that in my sleep.
The big deal is........after the stroke I had in 2012, I couldn't remember anything. Adding 2 numbers together was an amazing feat. Phone numbers? Thank god for speed dial.
