I, for one, miss your presence on the boards.... Come back as you can, and as hard as it is for you not to do it...don't push too hard... Care....

merichsen Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Feeling fatigue is a gross understatement it's more like being drugged. Recovering from the surgery takes a tremendous amount of work and energy. The best way for your body to do that is to sleep. The good news is it will lessen over time, but it will take a long time. After a while you won't feel like so weak and out of it, just normal stroke fatigue. In the meantime, we'll be here waiting for ya!

Guest j&jsdad Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 hey allan, you were one of the first people to welcome me when i came here. you opened the door, and opened your heart when my sorry face showed up and i will NEVER forget that. i thank you for your presence. i am here to tell you, at least for me, whether or not your net name is showing on the board, your presence is still here for me. always will be. so stop in when you can, but first and foremost take care of you. you are quite the warrior in my eyes, friend. even warriors, . . .especially warriors, need their rest. take care friend.

ksaul Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 hi allan, the number one focus now is your health and recoveyr! stroke causes fatigue and surgery only adds to it. like so many here on site i understand. for me, after my stroke and heart surgery is was like moving through molasses. i slept and sleep heals. just remember that whenever you do feel like logging on we will all be hear and happy that you are dropping by. also, it does get better with time...so do what you are doing....care for yourself. hugs to you my friend! kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swilkinson Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 (((Hugs))) coming to you up north. Not a lot to add except I always enjoyed our talks so much. I know you are truly loved here by many you have touched in some way. I agree, even warriors need their rest. Sue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdewald Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Allan ol' downunder pal.... Look at all the warm responses to your post. You indeed are a very lucky man and well respected.....One can only do what they can. I just underwent some nasty emergency surgery and feel for you. My Aunt Matilda could whoop me if I had an Aunt Matilda. OK, Donna and Kim could whoop me !!!!! Now that is tragic. Your a great soul Allan......Keep the "attitude" and fight......

AZ Leah Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Hi Allan: All we can do is our best and you have proved that. I suffer from fatique but probably not quite as crippling as you. It is one of the results of stroke that robs us of our life and the ability to do what we want to do. I've worked a lot this year on acceptance of how it is - facing reality, facing facts. It does not mean I have to like it. So stay upbeat when you are awake and do the best you can. We'll welcome you anytime you can make it to chat.

Vivid-Dawn Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I know how you feel! GO TO BED! *tucks you in* In case the "regulars" were wondering where I've been the last couple months... I've been joining Allan! Sleeping about 15 hours a day too. Get up to eat, bathroom and check E-mail, putter around with the cats. I also HATE the cold, so don't go outside much during winter, therefore I really have no reason to get going. I told my doctor I'm hibernating! He said that was okay, except when it gets warmer, he wants me up and movin' around more. Gotta get strong for surgery I'm probly gonna have next year. Now, if only that foot of snow on the ground outside, will go away so I can stop procrastinating... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
