  1. Boy do I understand trying to be normal, I'm surprised I don't drink, maybe I should start
  2. Well I have to say things have changed for the better in my life the last few days. I had my right hip replaced 7-30-19, my surgery was at 9:30 and walked on it at 1:30, I was released at 2:45 so getting my bad hip taken care of was something I have been waiting on for about 8 mounts but what I never expected was a change is my eye sight, If I look to the left its normal but if I look to the right it seems to not focus and makes me dizzy and feel bad ????????? Why, I found that there were no pills that helped and going to eye therapy was a waste of time or was it ????? whats strange is I tried looking to the right a few days ago and guess what no more bouncing, I can focus now what the hell happened, I don't think it had anything to do with my hip replacement and personally I don't care. I'm thinking it was strictly coincidental, the vision is not perfect but before my hip replacement I would say my vision looking to the right was a 1-2 now its 8 so my point of telling everyone is don't give up, i'm not out of the woods yet but its looking promising. I sure would like to ask Kelly her thoughts so if your out there look me up, I have lots of questions. Ed
  3. becky1 Hate to say it but it's out of our hands other than living a healthy life style, don't let the hiccups make you crazy or sick just live life one day at a time and be happy your still with us Ed
  4. Deigh I wish the medical world would put in the time and effort for stroke research and recovery as they have for HIV I'm not saying to forget the HIV world but the consequences for HIV are very preventable where as strokes pick people for assorted reasons , some brought on by life style's and others are just the luck of the draw.

  5. Yes I have been waiting for 2 1/2 years and still nothing, the fatigue is relentless, i'm surprised I never started drinking...........................but I keep hoping when I wake up in the morning things will change in a positive way.........when donkeys fly. Ed
  6. Thank You and i'm glad I could help you out. Remember all you need to do is just ask and someone will be along with an answer or idea that might help. Don't give up on him unless it turns violent and remember those vows we all took, " In sickness and in health " Good luck Ed
  7. Chris I can speak on behalf of your husband as I too had a stroke and spent 6 weeks in the hospital and another 6 weeks in rehab, i'm that guy that could work non stop, could fix anything and did, wife did not work and life was for the most part great other than little things that pop up unexpectedly, I feel terrible, I think I let my family down, I cant work, have practicality zero stamina, i'm dizzy all the time. I will tell you it does not make me feel like the man of the house, rather if make me feel like the one that caused it all and its tough living with that, one of my daughters understand but lives 550 miles away, I don't want her to worry about me she's got her own life, the other two are tired of hearing about how I don't feel good most of the time so I just hunker down and keep to myself. As far as my wife she told me 4-5 weeks after getting out of rehab she wanted to leave and to be honest she has a new significant other in her life that happens to be her best friend another women, I can deal with most of it but the last part tears me apart and I just stay home most days. Don't give up on him, I know its hard but without you and your smile he will be broken beyond repair unless you cant take it any more or he is violent, Hang in there because you have something, your husband and we have lost our souls or what makes us who we were Strokes are nasty and ruin lives, try to work thru it Ed
