Lincoln City Councilman Roy Christensen released a statement on Friday, April 9th that he feels good and is looking forward to returning home tomorrow.
The statement read:
I received my first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine on Wednesday morning at Pinnacle Bank Arena. Later in the day I began to experience a loss of feeling in my left arm and left leg. On Thursday, I consulted with my doctor and mostly rested at home. By Friday morning my condition had not improved and my wife Ramiel drove me to the emergency room at CHI St. Elizabeth.
After a battery of tests it was determined that I suffered a small stroke and I was admitted for further observation. I continue to experience a loss of feeling in my left arm and left leg although I do have some feeling in my left hand. The doctors have told me they are unable to positively connect he Pfizer shot to the small stroke or rule out a connection.
Other than the loss of feeling in my left arm and left leg, I feel good. As of now I expect to be released from the hospital on Saturday and to resume a regular schedule next week including attendance at Monday’s city council meeting, work at my office and campaign activity.
Your prayers for me and my family are sincerely appreciated.
