I am posting this because I feel it is important for people to understand. My story- When our daughter was in her senior year of High School, I had an accident while working on some remodelling of the house. I fell backwards and hit my head on hard wood. At the time Hubby was working in Kentucky and our daughter and I remained at the house while she was in school and we were remodelling the house. I had a concussion/stroke and was at deaths door. We had no insurance at the time and hospital would not take me. We also had no car. My daughter saved my life I believe and took care of me and everything for many months while attending school. I lost balance, face was odd, confusion was always present, slurred speech, and short term memory, well had none. I cannot say how much gratitude I have for my daughter for stepping up and taking on so much responsibility. Between her and my deep desire to get better I am basically ok today, 2 years later. However, what people may not understand is that usually I seem fine, but every once in a while I have kind of a mini relapses (perhaps mini stroke?) where confusion sets in. 4 days ago this happened as well as balance problems to the extreme and headache. Today I am doing a bit better thank goodness. I just did the arm test and one arm does not go as high as the other, so guess not completely ok yet. So I am posting this link so people can understand what we go through and to say how much I love my daughter for being there for me :)
