askye, I had a minor stroke back in 2006; I called a cab since I get almost all my medical care through one hospital complex but ambulances go to a different one. They kept me for three days, but I bounced back pretty well. It did take me a good six months to get back to almost normal ... or my version of it.
If your mom wants to take a shower, see if you can get a little stool (they make them to use in the shower). It's less enjoyable than taking a shower while standing, but a big improvement over falling. Any kind of therapy she can get, she should. And they had me on ... Zoloft, I think it was, to help my brain heal.
Best wishes for her recovery. And your nerves.
Thanks Toddson. There was a woman in here doing...something I don't remember...and she had stroke 12 years ago and is fine now.
Right now we are waiting to hear back from the rehab hospital. They are waiting on...insurance I think. If we don't hear by 5 PM it will be Monday before we hear about when she will go there. Mom isn't happy about that. I wish I could have a better idea of what to tell work.
Oh and I need to get a new phone on Verizon because I can only do call over wifi at Mom's and Verizon doesn't allow that on things like Straight talk. I also just bought my minutes for the month. I don't need the extra expense. It's just a lot that keeps adding up.
Ugh, sorry, askye. None of that phone stuff makes sense to me, but what do I know.
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday flea!
Meeting's over. Miss Annette did most of the talking, outlining what strategies she used last year at PEP. She will e-mail the plan to us, we will send it to the principal, who will send it to the board. Once they approve it, Mr. S can come back to school. In the meanwhile we will get a nanny to take him to and from PEP on Monday so he can start that. Whew!
Sounds encouraging, Sheryl.
Askye, msbelle, Sheryl and other, much ma to you.
Probably needs a separate post, but I just reread Dogs in Elk, and on September 9th it will be 20 years old!!! [link]
...dogs in elk is older than my oldest current student.
I may need a minute.
Still one of the funniest things I've ever read.
Oh man. I heart dogs in elk
