"what did i do to deserve such wonderfull caring friends?"
9:36am, August 5, 2009
thank you Mood
Saturday, November 21, 2009
thank you all for your lovely comments to my journal,just to let you know,i have not had anymore episodes since the last one,so i am thankfull,but i just can't seem to shake it off at all,someone asked me are you afraid,i said no not really the only thing that did scare me was when i lost my speech,then when it came back i couldn't control it,my hubby said i sounded drunk,i mean if i can't shout and moan and have a really good go at anyone what am i going to do,it doesn't have the same impact written down,i seem to be so slow at everything these days,i can type of a sorts but it takes ages,cause i have to find the right keys for my words,i have to use the spell checker more often too cause some words are coming out back to front,i hope this is the worst it will get,strokes run in my family,my grandpa died as a result,my dad was very bad because of it ,he went really ga ga and got very violent,my brother said i am the first female in the family to for this to happen to ,it is always the males,well is that suppose to be some sort of consolation or what.i hope you are all doing as well as you can,have a great weekend,and i hope to speak to you all again soon.lots of love and hugs,to you all,Helen.

    My mother had a period where she had a series of mini-strokes. I can't remember what the suspected cause was, but they ended, with no lasting effects. I hope yours do, too. I'm think about you. love and hugs, doug

i have not been on for a while,i have had a mini stroke, and i am feeling very raw at the moment,i am told there will be others ,so if you don't hear from me it will probably be to do with that,i hope you are all looking after yourselves sorry this is a short one,but i am not in the mood today,love and hugs,Helen.

Friday, November 13, 2009
this world is not my home,i'm just passing through,if Heaven's not my home ,then Lord what will i do,the Angels beckon me,through Heavens open door,and i can't feel at home in this world any more....i have a loving mother just over in glory land,i don't expect to stop untill i hold her hand,she's waiting there for me,at Heavens open door ,and i don't feel at home in this world any more,,,,oh Lord you know i have no friend like you,if Heavens not my home then Lord what will i do,the Angels beckon me from Heavens open door,and i don't feel at home in this world any more.

    i have to give up,i have no fight left,no one should have to live like this,i know there are a lot of people worse off,but right now it doesn't feel like it,i am fed up of being picked up off the floor bacause i have had another faint,i feel like a prisoner ,i cannot be left on my own,i even have to tell someone if i go to the loo,what sort of life is that.

    Helen, there are reasons for you maladies. Please be persistent with doctors in finding a solution. We need you here. love and hugs, doug

  3. witchnell

    thanks Doug,but my journal really does say it all for me right now,my doctor seems to have taken fright after my initial collapse,i have had two more since then,he is trying to get a specialist to see me ,i don't know what sort of specialist,but he said i really do need a ct scan,i could tell him what else i need ,but i think he would put me on the road to an insane asylum.i have felt bad before but never like this,keep enjoying your hikes,and keep those photo's coming,hugs,Narky Nelly.

    Helen - there is obviously something physically wrong with you or this wouldn't be happening. Anemia? Bleeding ulcers? There are lots of possibilities. Hang in there and please keep us posted, sweetie.
