Friend

I know its hard, but try not to get to worried. The cardiologist
may just need to give you the results of the test.

Also this will help either way with your living placement. I think
going into assisted living sounds like it might be a good thing
for you. That way you would have a apartment to yourself, at
least around my area you would. And the kitty could stay with
you. Someone to come check on you if needed.

That way you wouldn't have to worry about roommates.

Exactly.

No. They are trying to figure out why I had a stroke. Physicians try to give you bad news like the TV news people. Our councillors try to give us good news. These are imperfect systems. I don't need any more problems. I'm up to my neck in problems. BF

Hi, Friend,


It's good that the docs are checking everything out.
If they find something, they can fix it.


I had lots of tests after my stroke and the docs said I was fine.
Sometimes they find nothing.

I'm so sorry you are dealing with so much, BF. You definitely have more than your fair share of problems to deal with. I wish I could lessen the burden that's weighing down on you (((HUGS)))

I know that all this testing and going to these appointments can be overwhelming, and at times scary, but the mdocs are just trying to see if they can find out why you had the stroke, and see if they can find any existing problems they can treat in order to prevent another stroke in the future

They did find something wrong. I'm not sure what it is. My case manager said it's like I have an extra heart beat at times. I talked to a nurse, and she said it could cause a problem over time. BF

Wow.

Have they explained what they can do to improve the situation?

I'm sorry that they did find a problem

Have you seen the cardiologist yet?
He/she should be able to explain things further/better, and there may be a treatment available to fend off future problems (((HUGS)))

How have you been coping with all of this, BF? It is a lot to digest and deal with.
Have you been reading your Psalms?

I have an appointment with a cardiologist at a big University Hospital in October.

My bil is still evicting me on September 1st. I asked my case manager if they have found a place for me to live. She said she will talk to me next week about it. She knew I had to many things on my mind this week.

Mari I didn't know that you had a stroke also. How long ago?

Bobby When did you have a stroke? I'm sorry that you and Mary had strokes also.

I'm still concerned about my kidneys. I don't know how they are doing. I couldn't see my specialist because I was in the hospital with the stroke.

I've never had these many problems before at one time. BF

Kay I have appointments with a cardiologist, stroke doctor, and my kidney doctors in October. I have so many doctors appointments, and I haven't seen my counsellor in a while. I need to make an appointment with her.

I just read some verses in the psalm. The Lord is the strength of my life. There is a church song, a hymn, "Because he lives, I can face tomorrow" BF

I had a stroke about three years ago.. It screwed up my short term memory so I think it was three years ago. Now I have trouble with spelling and math and I used to be great at those. My balance is is off now so I
have a very hard time using my digital scale and I can't stand in one place for long. It really affected my right leg and right hand. Now my handwriting is almost illegible and I need a cane because my right leg is weak and I can only walk two blocks. I had physical therapy and the woman had me do an exercise that now gives me lower back pain. The stroke must have happened when I was asleep. I had two operations. In one they tried to put in a stent in my caratoid artery but it was 99.9 clogged so they couldn't do it. The next week they operated again and cut open the artery and cleared it out. The scar still itches. I could have been paralyzed . I thank God for everything.
