Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Try hard to not have strokes repeated!
Blood thinning medications at least.

My wife, who is 82 years old, had a serious stroke at near the end of last month and is still not back home. She had me take her to an emergency hospital and walked in to it. But, by next day she could not stand or even roll in a bed. The stroke was in her right brain which made her left body side movement unfunctioning. She is in a clinic now going through a recovery training process. The function of the dead brain cells has to be retrained to the remaining bread cells. Not a fast process. The problem is not just moving abilities but thinking as well. The brain needs training there as well.

New Don't worry about me, and all the best to your wife!
I'm all set up for meds, thanks to HYKS/HUCS. Been taking pills (“anti-clotting”, I think, not “thinning” per se) since at least Wednesday morning, probably last Tuesday evening. Fuck knows if that wasn't what was in that drip the young ambulance guy hooked me up with. So no worries.

Sad to hear about your wife. Yeah, it sucks to have a “real” stroke (as opposed to my tiny one), but it's not hopeless. Both my mother-in-law and my own mother (born a week before Pearl Harbor) had strokes – my Mom, two or three – and they came back in pretty much all ways that count. Fingers crossed that your wife will too.

New Ick! Here's hoping the retraining does progress swiftly!
New Thanks, but so far it's a slow process.

New Good advice!
I'm very sorry to read about your dear wife. :-( I hope that she and you have had better news in the meantime.

Best wishes,
Scott.
