I continue on with life, one day at a time. My goal has become this: If I wake up in the morning, I do what I can do to make it through my day, go to bed at night and hope for sleep. If I wake up the next morning, I carry through with the same goal.
I've decided I needed to utilize this site more. It's a good tool and so often I feel like no one in the world could ever know how I feel or what I went through. I've changed so much. I'm grateful for the blessings I do have! Afterall, the doctor told my husband to call in my family to say their goodbyes. I defied all the odds; physically that is!

Soooo FINALLY I am starting to feel "normal" for me that is "living life as the new normal" After 3 weeks of living hell I am FINALLY feeling like my old new normal. haha Today was great.

I haven't been able to get on the site for some reason. Could view all as a guest but when I signed in it shut down. Wonderful is our techno!! Hope everyone is promoting Stroke Awareness Month.

I'm fairly new to the site but anxious to learn my way around. Never have done a blog before so feel free to give me pointers. ha I had a brain stem stroke last June on Fathers Day at age 40. Was in picture perfect health. Not sure how much of my 'story' I should include. Been a roller coaster ride for sure. All we can do is take one day at a time if that's part of God's plan for us.
