Don’t be Stressed!

These are trying times! The one thing I have to say is don’t stress. When people are given a medical situation and don’t know what to do, they stress.

I like to do Chores!

I know what you are thinking, so before you order me a strait jacket let me explain.

I’m Blessed

I’m blessed I survived my stroke and all the medical complications. I just saw a video of me from two years ago when I was walking with my physical therapist. I was shocked at how unstable I was. I couldn’t stand up without someone holding me. I have changed so much in 2 ½ years. Just the other day, I stood and hugged my mom when we were leaving my parents’ house, and she said, “I forgot how tall you are.”

What does a stroke feel like?

I had a friend ask me that and I wonder how many other people want to know. I don’t remember the stroke itself but I remember the hour or so before, I was having pains in my stomach (I thought it was my lapband). I went to the emergency room, they couldn’t figure it out until my nurse saw my face drooping and said she’s having a stroke. All hell broke out.
