I Can't Type very Well

Monday evening I got rather upset... long story short... I am wondering if I had a stroke...  typing one handed is terribly slow...  I have relied heavily on my typing to communicate... I don't know what will be the outcome.  I know people will say I should have gone to the ER...  4 hours passed... I think that is what they call the window of opportunity was gone... so I made the first morning appointment I could...  Anyway, yes I'm sad, yes I'm scared... hoping with time/therapy I will get better function of my left hand... to go from being a boggle bash champion typist to barely functional typist has slowed my roll...  I won't be writing so much for a bit but hopefully I'll be back soon to bend your ear... well to strain your patience... *Smile*

Maybe it could be (\"only\") nerve entrapment? Like carpal tunnel, perhaps? I hope you find relief soon. This must be very upsetting. Prayers being sent up!

Oh Ellisa ,Your doing the right thing going to the doctor, I\'ll pray for you my friend. I won\'t play doctor as some call me doctor Kelly, lol.. I can\'t wait for you to bend my ear. I\'m not fast at typing, I think I would journal more if I was.. I\'m more of a listener then a talker so I hope all is well!

Oh gosh - glad you have an appointment to find out what\'s going on. Not knowing is more stressful than the actual cause, sometimes - at least when you know it can be dealt with and you can move on. Take care and good luck with your doctor\'s visit ~ Joanna x

Oh dear. I hope it is just a temporary thing and resolves itself. In the meantime, go to the doctor. I am so sorry.
Don\'t beat yourself up and don\'t get too frustrated. You probably type at about the same speed as me now! In the meantime, I will be waiting to get my ear well and truly bent!
Love and hugs,

Oh dear!!! If your speech is slurred, or weakness in one side, please go to the ER. With a stroke, time is of the essence. Dean had several mini strokes and one full blown. Not trying to scare you, but we must pay attention to these things our bodies do.

I will be praying for you and be here waiting to hear results...
