I am 36 and a stroke survivor. I had my stroke On Valentine's Day of 2007. I had a vertibral artery rupture. It formed a clot and 9 days later, well, you know the rest... The strange thing is that it was "unofficially" caused by a chiropractic neck adjustment. It has been almost 2 years. I am about 80% of where I used to be. I am just happy I am still here to be with my wife and 3 lovely kids. -
A question for you survivors
Honda Daddy replied to jldunston's topic in Post Stroke Feelings and Emotions
I am sorry to hear of your wife's health issues. The sad thing is that there is no magical thing that you can say that will "make her snap out of it". She needs you and her family with her. She needs to hear how you all love and care for her. She needs to be validated in her feelings. Be patient and kind with her and that will go a long way. As a care giver, you also need to be validated in your feelings. Make certain that you are taking care of yourself during this time, as it is very easy to become co-dependent and begin to "own" her illness. Good luck.
