They say he has recovered 98% he was parilized for a week and it took about

another month for the side of his face to go back to normal. (If you consider

going to sleep at 8:30 and leaving your wife alone all night).

The dr says he doesn't know why he had it. The main artary in his neck one

of them collapsed. He smoked... still does doesn't care enough about us to

quit. We don't get an appointment with the neurologist until Feb 20th so he

won't even try. I can't do it myself. Things are so bad between us what

happened? He adored me thought I was the best thing in his life... now he

barely talks to me.

Was it the stroke?

Is it ?

Does he blame me?

It always seems like I'm suppose to make all lthe decisions and then he'll

make me feel they are the wrong ones. I made the appointment with a DAN dr

in Washington Crossing. the guy has been there for 30 years so he's got to

be doing something right... but you walk in the office and it looks like a

GNC. Am I reaching for something that isn't going to help?

side of the body. Depression comes often with a stroke.

Hi .

I'm Kandie, mom to my 9 year old autistic son. I had a stroke just

about a month ago! I was hospitalized for 4 or 5 days and then I came home

to recover. My right side of my body was afffected. I used a walker in the

beginning but now I just limp very slightly on my right leg. My right hand

is doing great too, but my writing has too come quite a bit farther. ha ha!

I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself--I've been very quiet since

my hospitalization but usually I'm pretty active on the list.

Kandie
