Haven't blogged in a while, but still enjoy reading this site!
I think one of the main reasons I don't blog is typing with one hand takes me so long! I still check this site daily and love to read!
Mom has been gone 4 months now and it has gotten easier, but I think about her at least once a day and usually a few tears fall. Hard to lose your Mother at any age, just seems like there was still so much left to do with her and now it won't get done. The Holidays were extremely hard I visit her grave weekly if the weather in Indiana cooperates! My sister and I change the theme on her grave to match the monthly holiday, like now she has a red Valentine's day wreath on, next will be St. Patricks Day etc... Mom and I always decorated our houses like that, we loved Holidays! I don't do it any more since my stroke.
I had outpatient surgery on 1/15 a Hysteroscopy which is a D & C with a scope.Like a roto rooter of the uterus LOL that is what my OB/Gyn called it! I hadn't had a cycle in 4 years, started bleeding the week before Thanksgiving and didn't quit for 6 weeks! I was hating that! So was my family who had to help! My hematologist changed my blood thinner and we were checking it out to be sure that wasn't contributing to the bleeding. But Thank God, I had the surgery and quit bleeding!!! Yeah! Surgery scared me or the anesthetic scared me!
I see a hematologist or blood doctor because I was diagnosed with APS or Antiphospolipid Antibody Syndrome which is a sister to Lupus. It is where the blood clots too much and too fast, the dr. said it is what caused the blood clot that caused my stroke--it is what also caused my 3 mis carriages--that would have been nice to know 18 years ago when they happened! But at least I know now and can try to prevent another clot.
My daughters are still the light of my llife and one of my motivators to get out of bed every morning. They are getting so old and mature!
It has been 17 months since my stroke and I am still trying to get adjusted and accept the left side is almost paralyzed, I can move it some but it has no function or sensation. At home I am pretty comfortable, out in public I need my husband or one of my daughters.
