Help I had a stroke.

It happened about a week, and a half ago. I just got out of rehab. What's going on?!!! It was in the right brain stem of my brain. It was awful. I was told that the artery is blocked now. They can't operate on it because it could break up and go deeper into my brain and cause big trouble. Now instead of having four arteries going into my brain, I have three. BF

Hi, Friend,


Events like this are scary at first. I hope you had good hospital people around you.


Were you given some rehab-type activities to continue out-patient?

oh no. How are you doing now? I am sorry they can't operate. Are you on medicine now? How has it affected you now. I had one a few years ago and they operated. I have trouble writing and I walk with a cane now.

I was so sorry to read this news, BF. You have had it hard (((HUGS)))

How are you doing now? And what have the doctors told you to expect to happen from here?

I'm so glad that you are up to posting. Thank you for checking in and letting us know how you are doing

I'm not paralyzed. I can walk almost as well as before. I cannot walk a straight line foot to foot. I've been able to walk almost 12 hours after the stroke.

At the rehab, the doctor said I was the fastest patient to recover from a stroke that he's seen. It looks like he could not figure it out. I was walking on the first day there and the last day there. The day I left he could hardly believe that I was able to walk like normal.

I of course have my knee pains,hip, hernia, kidney problems, and anxiety. I have to move from my apartment by September the 1st.

I was told that people were going to pray for me. BF

It's fantastic that you were able to get rehab so soon after the stroke

Between that, and all the prayers, I'm sure that's why you are doing as well as you are. It is good to hear

I'm not paralyzed. I saw my nurse practitioner on Thursday, and she said that I was lucky. It could have done major damage to my body, and mind.

I'm still processing this. I don't understand why I had a stroke. I'm on two new medicines, and am going to see a stroke doctor probably every three months on top of seeing a kidney doctor every three months, on top of seeing mental health councillors, and case managers.

I'm going to get my eyes checked next week because the ambulance personnel lost my glasses in the ambulance.

My brother in law is moving me out of the house that I've lived in for a while on September the 1st because he has sold the house, and plans on retiring soon. I don't know where I'm going to live yet. It's hard to find a place to live these days.

I have car problems and other problems on top of other problems. I hope that I don't get anymore problems. BF
