Home.

by Kelley

in serious shit

I am home.

The worst is over.

MRI a couple of hours ago aided by copious amounts of Valium.  No fucking rainbows and unicorns as promised Mr Lady, I am rather pissed about that.

No bleeding in my brain.

No MS.

No MS.

No clue why my right side is still weak but hopefully it will resolve itself soon.

I can breathe again.

Just a small stroke.  On preventative medicines,  hopefully there will be no repeat performance.

Right now I need to sleep for a month after squeezing my kids till they scream for mercy.

Will update tomorrow.

The good. The bad. The flatulent.

I love you all for your thoughts, cards, emails, comments, phone calls, gifts, blog posts dedicated to little old me and my hiccuping brain.  Thankyou post forthcoming.  Eventually.  Once I can stop my eyes rolling around in my head.

It is still such a shock to me that you had a stroke at such a young age. **shakes head in disbelief** Get well and then get better than ever, you hear? It appears you have a lot of fans here rooting for you so don’t let them down! 😉

It sounds as if things are looking up! You may be weak for some time, but the brain pathways will re-build. You may also experience some wicked mood swings and inability to control your emotions for a while.

Most people figure out how to deal with their deficits fairly quickly, but don’t be afraid to ask for some rehab. (sorry, my field of expertise)

Keeping you in my thoughts!

Welcome home and take it easy. Have the Emos change your sheets every day. It makes your bed feel soooo much better, especially when you have to be in it so much. Remind them to turn down the sheet and leave chocolates on your pillow. Is the TV in your room? Lots of dvd’s at the bedside?

Welcome home – to home too – as well as to your blog.

A horrible thing to happen to you but try to look on it just as a warning so you can take measures to make sure it does not happen again. Yes, I know, it is easy to say positive things when you are not experiencing it yourself but I have learned from the life of Brian:

Some things in life are bad
they can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse
When you’ve had a stroke
but you’d rather have a poke
be awesome and things will turn out for the best
and …

Always look on the bright side of life
