FINALLY SPOKE TO MY SISTER

SHE IS HOME TODAY. IT HURTS TO TALK TO HER.I CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE IN HER WAY OF THINKING EVEN. I MEAN IN A WAY EVEN A NORMAL PERSON CAN THINK THAT TOMMORROW IS SATURDAY BUT THAT WAS ONE THING AND MY NIECE TOLD ME THEY HAVE TO TAKE HER TO SEE DR IN THE MORNING AT ACUTE CARE AND THAT THE DR MIGHT WANT TO ADMIT HER. HOWEVER SHE IS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THEY ARE STILL GOING SHOPPING LIKE SHE ALWAYS DOES ON BLACK FRIDAY. NOW I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS THAT SHE IS REFUSING TO GO TO THE DR OR JUST RELIZES NOTHING ABOUT IT. SHE SAID TO ME I CAN'T SEE THE DR TOMMORROW I AM GOING SHOPPING. NOW ORDINARILLY SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE TYPE PERSON WITH SOMETHING AS SERIOUS AS A STROKE SHE WOULD ORDINARILLY BE COMPIABLE TO DO WHATEVER NEEDS TO BE DONE BUT SHE IS ACTING AS IF NOTHING REALLY HAPPENED LIKE NOTHING WAS REALLY THAT BAD.
I AM SCARED THIS IS NOT HER NOT HER AT ALL.
I HOPE THE LORD DOESN'T MAKE HER LIVE HER LIFE WITH ONLY HALF THE CAPACOTY TO THINK A LITTLE.
PRAY THAT HE DOESN'T. PRAY THIS ABSENTMINDEDNESS IS NOT PERMANENT.
PLEASE.
LOVE YOU GUYS I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO WITHOUT ANYONE OF YOU.
LOVE TRISH

Hi Trish,

I don't know exactly what happened to your sister but I can tell that she is having some sort of cognitive problems and that you are very worried about her. I'll bet your scared for yourself a little too because you want your sister back the way she was.

Have hope and keep the faith. I will pray for both of you and your families. You know that all of your DS friends will do the same.

Hi Trish I heard that if they can treat you shortly after a stroke you prognosis is very good. Let's hope your sister got the proper treatment right away.

I'm sure sh's ok, they would not have released her so soon otherwise. It just takes awhile for the damage to heal, she will most likely show improvment every day until she's back to normal. Thank God she came through so well. Prayer continues for all of you. Hugs

Hang in there dear. Can totally relate as mother is in same condition. Will be praying for doctors to have the knowledge to help her. Am hoping that she will get some therapy. Have seen many miricles in stroke victims who work hard to recover. God bless you and yours.

Yes it can be helped without any permanent damage if treated in time. She may be in denial also at this time. I know when I had mine I thought I was doing fine but shortly found out differently. It took me a long time to get better thought wise but had no permanent physcial damage. she is in my prayers marilyn

I am so sorry to hear about your sister. Hopefully she will be even better tommorrow. You are in my thoughts.

Sorry to hear about your sister. Please be very patient. A brain injury can take 6-12 months to heal and she will probably have therapy that will make it go faster. My father in law suffered a severe head injury at 87 and was completely recovered within 6 months.

Trish, You know I am praying. I think she will be fine. It sounds like she must be doing well. It will take time for her to completely heal. I pray God will give you peace. Hugs

Hi trish,
I am glad that she is ok. I'm prying that she will be ok. Sometimes, it takes a little bit for her to completely heal. I am praying for her and your family.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
