Had a bit of an 'oops' come up. Over the last 2 weeks, I"ve been dealing with a rather excruciating migraine. Standard meds have done little to help. After several trips to the E.R., I suffered a fall and blow to my head, and briefly passed out. After extensive tests, MRIs and CAT scans, the doctors found a small thrombosis, or blood clot, in my brain.
I've had a stroke.
I was released from the hospital yesterday, and am now recovering at home. The doctors are treating the stroke aggressively, and working very hard to prevent a repeat occurrence. I have a great medical team, and my family has been wonderful through all of this.
I greatly appreciate all of your encouragement and support. It's going to take time for me to get back on my feet, and your interest and caring will be invaluable to me. I thank you for that!!
Hope all of you are doing well. Again, thank you. ;-)

WOW, thank you so very much everyone for your kind words, wonderful messages, and great words of comfort from everybody!! They mean a great deal to me. ;-D
I"m on the slow road to recovery. I start occupational therapy next week, but for now I'm trying to get my body reoriented ('ve lost a lot of movement and sensation on the left side of my body, and I fall over or trip at the drop of a hat.)I've been taking it very easy,mostly resting and catching up on sleep. I'm on day 16 of my migraqine, and it hasn't lessened much. Hopefully it'll start receding shortly.
Hope to talk to all of you soon, and again, THANK YOU!! ;-D

Breit, I hope you recover quickly. I am sorry to hear that. I hope those migraines soon go away altogether. ;-)
Please continue to get plenty of rest. Oh, and one more thing... don't try and overexert yourself too much. (In other words, don't do what I tried to do. My living room is still a mess because I've actually listened to you and slowed down, like a lot.)
