What a frightening experience. I wish you the best for a continued recovelry. It sounds like you have worked very hard to get where you are.

Hope today is good. Post when you feel like sharing. Good or not so good. There is a lady on Home Decorating Conversations that had a stroke in Florida on vacation. She was, as I remember very young for a stroke. It took awhile, but I believe she is doing well now. I am sorry, I cannot remember her name.

ETA: I found here first post. Her name is Rorah.

Rhizo, I am so sorry to hear of this. I hope that you are recovering well. Let us know how you're doing both physically and mental health, And you're right, its scary and even if you fully recover the experience is still life changing. I hope you have lots of support from friends and family.

Oh, NUTS!!! Very glad you're back with us.

Would you mind telling us more about this wild, scary experience? Clearly, such a terrifying surprise could happen to any of us!

(((HUGS)))

Thanks much for the good thoughts. Sorry to be so brief. The stroke damaged the left side of brain…..I can still talk but who knows how much senseI make. The right side of my body was kaput for a few days but responging well to therapy. I guess. I am relearning how to do everything. I cried like a baby when I put my own sweater!

I literally woke up and that was that. I called oot to my husband who called 911. In a flash, our local volunteer fire department was with me, and EMS whisked me away. Much is now forgotten but it has been an eventful month.

My husband is my true hero. OMG, I can’t begin to tell you. We celebrated our 22 anniversary while I was in rehab hospital.

more later as i am able.

Lots of kudos and love to your wonderful husband, rhizo_1. Thank goodness he was home and you knew to yell out to him. Hooray too for the emergency responders.

I have you in my thoughts and we are all wishing you the very best progress.

rhizo, I know how much work it takes to recover from a stroke, so congratulations on getting your sweater on without help! keep on pushing. There will be lots of small and not-so-small achievements along the way. I am pulling for you...well not literally-that you need to do own your own, but I will definitely be cheering each step.

Oh my goodness! I am so sorry. It's good to hear the you are making progress! Please post as much as you can.

You sound and write like you are doing well. My best wishes for continued recovery.

Hope you are feeling better.

Sending healing wishes for continued progress in recovery.

I'm very encouraged to see you are able to communicate so well so soon after the *insult* to your brain. Are you typing all this yourself? Amazing!

Many years ago our DIL's DM fell down a double height staircase at a vacation home and slammed her head on an entry door. The rehab care was teriffic, and she learned to walk and to talk nearly perfectly all over again -- although it took much, much longer than your progress. (Her rescue was delayed by the location, unlike your immediate care.)

Nobody wants to have to do this work, but YOU are doing GREAT!

Just hold on to the fact that the brain can and does heal, although often verrrry slowly.

I'm sorry that you have had this happen - best wishes for continuing recovery!

Very sorry to hear this Rhizo. But it's good you're still able to communicate so well. I'm wishing you a good recovery from across the Atlantic.

I am so sorry! Thankful to know that you are making good progress. Sending healing thoughts and good wishes your way.

I'm sorry this happened to you, rhizo. Praying for you.

It will get better, but may take awhile. continue with your PT/rehab religiously. I couldn't even crack an egg, use a camera [my job] or use a hammer after my stroke in '17. I also stacked a pile of cinder blocks each day, moving the pile a couple feet away. Used 12 cinder blocks. Still not 100 percent, but darn close. Join a stroke support group or coffee with someone who had one ...

I am so sorry this happened to you...

Prayers for your recovery.
