second stroke
Today is Feb. 22 entry by Brice to see if her blog can be edited.
Well, there I sit on the bathroom floor. The headache comes in three stabbing points. I sit and cry "OH NO!!!! not again." I slowly feel the effects of this stroke slowly. No feeling in my foot, then leg, then hand, arm. and then face droops. I feel like I have a fat lip. I sat banging my foot against the floor and slapping my leg hoping to feel it. I can't. My husbasnd comes in. He doesn't know what to do. I don't want to go to the hospital. Maybe if I don't go and confirm this stroke. It will go away. I don't want to hear the dr. tell me I had another stroke. My husband calls my mom. She begs me to go to the hospital for her. I go and yes. I had another hemorrhagic stroke. Next to the same area as last time. Not as bad though. Many tests as you know. I had two angiograms!.. I hate those. The pain from them. I did it hoping to find the reason for my strokes. The docs. Don't know why. So how do I prevent them? I know I need to lose weight. I have been watching carefully what I eat. and walking more. Stiull no weight loss. I will just have to keep trying!!!!
I am in out patient rehab. The feeling is coming back. YEH!!!! I am home doing my MOM things (I think this is the best rehab)except driving and cooking. I want to start cooking again. Been working on it at rehab. My husband is very protective and doesn't want me cooking yet. How do I get him to let go a little?
Went to the pain clinic. Disappointed. The doc only recommends nerve block to help. I exlained I was looking more for non-medication, like biofeedback and accupuncture. He said to set-up an appt. for biofeedback. He doesn't think accupuncture would help my types of headaches.
