Per Brian Kelly on BK radio, Danny will be back soon. There are even rumors he is at practice today. Would be great news.

[yankeeND]

Glad to hear! This has been a tamultuous(spelling?) camp to say the least but everything will work out! Hell this team may even surprise us!

Good Morning All,

Good news! I just recieved a message from Danny's mom this morning. On Wednesday during practice the left side of his body went numb, when he told the trainers they rushed him to the hospital. At first they suspected a stroke or a spinal cord injury. The report about him being diagnosed with an atypical migraine in Michigan are correct. The migraine effected his nervous system. She says he starts physical therapy today and hopefully will be back soon! He is going to be ok!

In the last part of her note she says something that is very true. "God is good!"

Get well soon Danny! Go Irish!

GREAT NEWS!!!!

 

[NDBoiler]

Great news indeed for Danny and the team. Was he limited at all in practice or cleared 100%?

 

[dublinirish]

Seems to me that what happened to Danny happens to me alot. After playing sport or intense exercising i can get migraines in my right temple and the left side of my body will get numb (not paralysed or anything) and also the vision in my left eye will be very blury. This can last anything from 1 to 24 hours. Ive had this happen since i was 12 years old. I will try and combat it by hydrating and taking some supplements as a preventative measure but if its really bad i take Panadol or other normal migraine relief. Ive had a CT scan and blood tests and the whole lot but have never gotten a definitive answer as to why this happens. Its just something i deal with and dont let it control me. Maybe some other posters might experience things like this too but i havent met anyone in my life who has the same issues. Hearing about what happened Danny did strike a chord though. Hope he gets better soon and can learn to keep his condition under control and not affect his career!

I'm very relieved to read that Spond is ok. I was growing concerned about this mystery.

Should ND get a second opinion on that since it was done at Michigan.

 

[NDhoosier]

talk about ironic... Glad to see he is ok though. For second though, we thought it was more serious than just football, now it seems he will be just fine. God is Good!

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

Great news. So glad he's ok.

I had something similar, but it's been a long time. From age 12 to 14 I had 4 migraines and they were all awful.

My first one was a rude awakening to the pain they can cause. Woke up early on a Saturday to play in a golf tournament. Getting into the car I started getting a tingling sensation in my hands. By the time we got to the course, some of my fingers were numb. Soon after, my toes went a little numb and my vision was getting blurry. It was all accompanied by the weird sensation that you're out of it and dazed, while my hearing didn't seem to be in the right frequency.

Anyway, got to the second green and had to stop I was so messed up. Puked in a pond on my walk back. Then sat in the clubhouse puking my guts out more than I ever had in my life. At that point, the headache began and it was literally hell. By the time a parent picked me up and I got home the pain was insufferable, I can't imagine anything hurting more and I've had my fair share of injuries. Even the slightest movement sent hellish shockwaves through my head---just awful.

I tried to sleep it off and the weird thing is, I was fine probably 8 hours later. The other 3 weren't as bad because I was at home when I got them and I knew what to expect, but they still sucked in their own way.

It's also funny that I literally never get headaches, ever. I also wonder just how much pain people are in when they say they have migraine, especially when they are sitting there and able to function pretty normally---I tend to think people just think a bad headache is a migraine and that certainly was not the case for me.

From what little I know, I think food, exposure to the sun, lack of hydration and being tired are a deadly combination. I know certain foods can be triggers for migraines as well.

 

[ndfi78]

Stress is the big trigger for my migraines, lack of sleep being a close second.

The pain part of my migraines is bad, I can handle it though. The worse part is the feeling of being in a complete fog, not being able to think straight at all. Not that I'm a genius in the first place

 

[irishfan]

Cleared to practice per BK

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Cleared to practice per BK

Excellent news

 

[yankeeND]

I hope he can get out there and lock the Dog spot down! Not that others were bad just I think he is the best option when healthy!

 

[irishfanjho15]

This is great we need him.

 

[Walter White]

So will he be ready to play on Saturday or will he need some time to get back in football shape?
