allanmorse Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Thank You vey much for the post. You have described exactly how it seems with the children.My wife has developed the art of switching off when I talk and filtering out the important bits.Since my stroke I have tended to rabbit on and on about nothing , usually changing the subject in mid sentence.

emmalibbie Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Welcome to the board! This is what keeps me sane! I have had multipule strokes! God has blessed me so much! I can walk and talk (so-so)! I cannot work or drive! It bothered me at first not being able to go on my own! My husband is my caregiver! I have been stroking for four years! We have worked things out pretty well! I had to learn to bite my tounge several times! Allan, do you have any hobbies? I know it is harder to read now! I read simple fiction when I read! I was very lucky God gave me my hands! I crochet, knit and quilt! I don't know what I would do if I couldn't do something with my hands! Hope you are better soon! You can tell it all here! God Bless!

allanmorse Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Thanks for the reply. I feel a bit of a fraud really,compared to other people I am 100% fit. I am trying to put my mind to useful things.At this time I am quite happy to sit at the computer for hours at a time.When my wife asks me what I have been doing,I have no idea.Thankfully she has bought me about 20 magazines about buses and trains and doesn't mind if one minute I am chatting to her and suddenly get up and go on the computer mid sentence. I shall try and keep going but it is hard ,perhaps if my symptoms were more pronounced I could cope better.People can see a slight limp and can't see how bad I feel inside ,wanting to do so much but unable to. WE are going away for a week to Devon on the 10th but I have to interupt the trip to have a CAT scan and a Carotid Ultrasound.Hopefully they can pinpoint the cause and I can start some sort of treatment. Thanks for listening. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrappier Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 I cleaned my house like crazy monday, did the yardwork tuesday and am at a complete waste this wednesday, I'm pooped! Was so windy sunday night, swear I never slept or fitfully. This morning I was beat when I woke and had to get up and remember being kinda tired yesterday am, still learning to pace myself. I feel good and then tend to over do it! still learning how to live with this....Has enyone gotten control (without drugs) over vertigo and anxiety, am I crazy to feel better after socializing?

jrodriguez Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 I love naps ! Especially when I'm exercising my brain (writing, reading, talking, listening). Strangely, I usually don't need one when I'm exercising my body. Hmm. Janice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
