Rehab 91 Fear of the unknown I cant even begin to count the number of TIAs I have had. Some very mild to others quite extensive. Slurring words, cant wake up, weakness, stumbling and lack of memory. I believe it is equally scary on both my love ones and me. We both face the fear of the unknown and the probability of a full on stroke. When I refer to love ones that also include my dogs.. They will be very shook up, pace the floor around me, jump in my lap and whine. I have no recollection of them doing them and that is unsettling feeling when you have memory. My Mom will monitor my blood pressure and if need be repeatedly try to wake me up. When one comes on I seem to always have a wicked headache, nausea and feel incredibly drained. Tonite was no different except for that fact it was just Shelby and I. She was quite panicked and freaked out when she couldnt wake me up As parents we never want to cause our kids to be scared or overly concerned with our well being. Unfortunately though it does happen. Not typically, when Im only 40. does this usually occur Regardless of the facts she has seen me before have a TIA and understands the signs and side effects, No matter how many times I have them they still worry her her. She handles them with courage and love. Im so blessed to have a family that can handle all my medical conditions. We attended a Christmas Party at the Neighbors last night and all I could do was make a little over an hour. I went over with a wicked headache and by the time I got back home it was much worse. Within 1/2 hour I had a TIA. Im so bummed the morning as Tammy, Shelby and I had planned on church today and lunch. Sigh, my medical conditions make it really difficult to ever make plans but every once in awhile it all works out Each time I cant do something I cry a little and then have to think about how far I have come. I know it wont always be this way but I must say it sucks. I just have to keep holding on and believe it will all change for the better. As my mother reminds me its coming up on a year when I contracted MRSA and then in March I was on my deathbed and Doctors told my parents I would die. It takes a long time for the body to recooperate after going through all that. Patience is the key but alas as we all know we humans are not good with that trait. I will keep holding on as I believe and know it wont always be this way. God didnt save me for nothing. His great plans will prevail in his own time. Hope you are all having a Merry Season As always Blessings my Family, Friends and Faceook world Take hold of the opportunities around you for you never know when you will not have them again
