I'm waiting on a client to call and decided to take a quick stroll down memory lane. I found my newbie introduction, and can't believe that was really me typing that. http://www.strokeboard.net/index.php?showtopic=2456&hl=

I can remember facts about the first few weeks of Kathy's stroke, but most of the emotions are muddled. It's like during that time my body went into survival mode and decided to cut out segments of what was taking place.

I know that during the early stages of being on this board I didn't mention the worst of what was happening. I guess that spelling it out would make it more real. But that was then, and here I am enjoying a quit house while Kathy is at active day care and the phone is being obiediently quit.

I can't say it enough. If it wasn't for my friends and second family here on StrokeNet, I don't know where I would be now, or what my mental state would be. You all helped pull me through a tough time, and I just hope I can give back to those who are just experiencing the unexpected changes a stroke brings to a family.
