This past week my brother got a low blood cell report and instrucked to go to rhe ER. And he had a cold but rhey being safe tested him for covid and put him in a covid wars and told me to not enrer and leave. After waiting 5 days to get a negative report they did a bone marrow test for the low blood platylets Turns out he has Acute myeloid leukemia. And agressive treatment dosent work wirh heart disease Just when i though we could enjoy our older age and go fishing im verry afraid of being alone

Hi chris i see this is a old post. It i dont get here much being so busy but i can feel for you. 10 years ago i had a ischemic stroke in thw middle of the night it Effected my ballance bad at first and my speech. Ballance is better but im older now so that sucks. My speech is better but still bad like ordering a “pupu playter” is near imposible. I was divorced and moved to florida with my older brother and live together. Then 5 years ago now he had a stroke that paralized his right side and was in rehab were id did come back some but not great. But he was doing good we boated together he ever was riding seadoos but as time went on he stamina for walking went down so he sends me in everywhere he needs me to get bis pills out and refused to do it himself he takes about 10 differnet pills i have to cook and he isualy says it sux and dosent say what hed like i clean up after him and rhe house and usualy it lisses him if im doing it around him we bave two dogs i care for and if i fo out to work in rhe yard or take rhe trash to the road the dogs will bark wantj g out with me and my brother *beep* and i hear about rhat. so your not alone ive seen it from both side As im just a caregiver. Unapreciated jjust exspected after my stroke my adult son cane down here to help. But decided he really didst want to help he nust was looking for what he could get and not has nothing to so with me and bavnt seen bim in going on 10 years. So it could be worse hang in there.

fishdad I can relate to that my farther was a angry alcoholic my mother dies of a stroke then a year later he drunk had a accident and became paralyzed , so being divorced he moved in with me and I tried to take care of him but he still managed to do what he wanted I put up with a lot of stuff like if he got angy with something not going his way while drinking would call the police. even on Christmas day once so I worked a lot and went fishing after work some days till he was asleep , then one day rather then go home early I did errands to not come home early in the bad time of day to finnaly rturn and find that he had fallen into my pool in his scooter and drowned whiskey bottle floating in the water near empty I ended up selling my home and buying a new place it was very stressful and a year later I had my stroke even though it was from a heart PFO

Katrina im lucky I can hide my differences my balance improved and my walking is ok no paralysis's anf I tend to forget my speech is bad until I speak. last week at a restaurant I frequent I tend t not say much just ill have the whatever ( boy at first a few years ago I dreaded when the waitress came to the table) anyway when leaving a young lady commented on my new car and I responded and said too much making me feel as if I really drew attention to me being abnormal . so anyway I tend not to speak publicly too much
