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 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. Last edited by mymorgy; 07-14-2019 at 07:17 AM. |

I still put a chair in my shower, and I place a phone neer the shower. The stroke happened so fast, and I wasn't prepaired for it, and there was nothing that I could do about it. I prayed in the ambulance and asked the Lord to help me if it was the end of my life. It wasn't my time. BF |

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 |

Friend,
I had a stroke in my sleep about ten years years ago one summer. I was in the hospital three or four nights because they kept me in until a Monday when a cardiologist could do this: "A TEE test allows doctors to get detailed pictures of your heart. A transesophageal echocardiogram, or TEE, is a test in which, under moderate sedation and a throat-numbing medicine, people have an ultrasound probe inserted down their throats to take pictures of their hearts behind their ribcages. " I had memory problems for a few weeks / months but I was good enough to go back to work in August. I had a little bit of therapy but the place sucked and I could not keep track of the appt times so I only went once That same thing happened when I was supposed to see a nuero. I hated the one in the hospital and would not go to his office. With a second neuro, I kept missing the appt time and the address to get there. I should have had more help than I did but at the time I thought I could mostly manage. M |

Friend
We will be here to listen when you need it. I don't know a lot about the extra skip of the heart. But I have a heart murmur that has been there since I was born. It used to scare me. As a child because the doctors all told my parents to make sure I was on a antibiotic no matter whether I was just a little sick or whatever. So I went to the doctor a lot. IF my sister's got sick I was on antibiotics too. It now at 61 is just there. All three of my kids have one too. Or at least I believe Devin does too. I know the other two do. Two for sure of my grandkids do. Not positive about Ethan. Anyway, I have a sister that has what I'm guessing you have. She takes a medicine for it. It is all that they said was needed. Donna |
