I had a stroke while riding in the car. I got a numb and tingling feeling on the left side and couldn't lift my left arm. I was afraid and didn't want to go to the hospital so , told my brother who was driving to continue our journey. We were driving to our brothers house 60 miles from home. When we got to my brothers I went to sleep in a chair and slept the day away and slept on the way home. The next day was Sunday and I slept all day and that night. On Monday I still wasn't well and was still having trouble with my left arm so, agreed to go to the hospital. After blood tests the Dr said that I had had a stroke and I was put in the hospital as my chlorestertal was 330. I spent 1 week in the hospital and got set up on meds and went home. Then my brother that was my primary caregiver had a massive stroke and passed away 1 week later Aug 1st, 2007 and I had another brother pass away Oct 10th, 2007 from brain cancer. I'm bi-polar yet I've been in a depression and haven't been able to control my emotions or get some of my memory back. I've regained the use of my left arm.. In May I underwent an open lung biopsy and have been diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis which doesn't help the depression. Tom
