Hi last Sunday at 7:30 in the morning my mom foned me said she woke with bad headache n pain in neck an her vision had gone she found her way to the toilet then her vision came bk in a vertical line she went down stairs in the bl garden as she was sweatin wen I arrived with my boyfriend she was sittin in her pjs in the garden straight away I could tell somethink was up,
Told her to cum inside n have some water bout 3 mins later she started grabbing her head an screaming in pain then she started havin. A fit or sumfink was on fone to 911 my boyfriend put her in recovery position wen they arrived she started to cum around she had problem gettin up as she was sayin she couldn't move her right foot
Got her to the hospital she was goin in an out of consciousness web she did cum around she was tryin to get outta bed walkin round didn't now who I was shouting at the nurses
I told the doctor this is nothink like my mom she don't like hospitals or doctors at all,
So they sent her for a ct scan 1 hour later results came bk she had a bleed an the put her in icu, she was there for 1 day waitin for a bed in a neurosurgical hospital she went there on Monday afternoon they gave her another ct scan an conformed it was a aneurysm 4mm in size.
They operated on the tuesday morning with the coil proucedure after the op they told us they noticed vapospasm was already starting so they was givin her meds for that,
She was bit confused wasn't really talkin just noding Then on Thursday she improved loads she was eatin drinkin her self she was off the oxygen mask they jus had that fing in the nose,
Wen we went bk up on Friday morning she was the same talkin loads still confused at sum fings we left at half 1 came bk up at half 5 an she wasn't talkin as much jus sayin yep an nope n smiling loads she finished her food her self,
We asked the nurse why she seamed to drop they said it was normal to have high an low days.
Came up on Saturday she wasn't even talkin at all jus looked lost wen u talked to her we told the nurse somethink ain't rite can we have another ct scan
The doc said ok as she noticed she had dropped to much.
Done the ct scan an they confirmed it was vapospasm an she had a stroke that's why she ain't talkin she only smiles she lifts her left arm an leg but wen asked she won't lift her right side.

That was today everyfink that I can remember from the last week

Wot I wanna now is can she get her speech bk an will she be able to walk?

It might be a good time for her to rethink the smoking & drinking, her health has taken a big hit. Those both are a big negative to optimal health. The smoking is the worst, it depends on how much drinking she does whether it is a major negative or not.

Her time in the hospital could be used to get thru the nicotine withdrawals.

You can come back from some strokes , it may be quick or it may take a lot of therapy & work, and some folks don't fully recover.

How old is she?
Did she have any other health problems before this?

Well she ain't smokin or drinkin if it's got anyfink to do with me.
Shes 45 year old an no she was health part from a cough but that was cuz of smoking, she did complain bout headaches but she would never go doctors way to stuborn.
Just been to see her an it looks like she try's to talk as she is bittin her lips an movin her teeth.

Default Hello Kayleigh

Welcome to Neuro Talk. I really hope your mother recovers. The smoking and drinking in any case, isn't a good idea for her. While she is recovering, this is a great time to stop. 45 years old is young, and she has had a big event, in fact two as you stated. Many stroke patients need alot of care to recovery. My son is a OPT, who takes care of people with these kinds of medical issues. Lots of therapy, tender loving care, will go a long way with helping your mom to recover. Being young, can also be a benefit, as in general you are stronger, may be able to rebound faster. Noone really can tell you just how far your mom will come along. I tend to look at the positive and take one day at a time. Each day is precious toward getting better. There are also alot of people on NT, who can guide you about aneurysms. Support will be here for you. I will keep you and your mom in my thoughts and prayers. ginnie
