Guess what guys? I'm home!
So let's just give you guys a quick rundown. I have an older stroke in my cerebellum they don't know when it happened I had a stroke on Wednesday it did grow a little larger since the Imaging done on Thursday morning that the new hospital did. The new hospital found a small brain aneurysm that will be managed by my neurologist. They also found bubbling in my heart so they think I have a hole in my heart so I have to follow up with cardio to see what they're going to do. I also have to go to cardio because it looks like I have an aneurysm at the bottom of my heart on my CT scan so I'm going to need a cardiac mri. But regardless of the results treatment plan wouldn't change right now so they were able to send me home. I'm going to have in-home care right now because I dislocated my kneecap toward the ligament that connects it fractured my tibia torn my ACL and my PCL and injured my foot. I'm going to be on a Statin and a blood pressure medication as well as a blood thinning shot in my stomach. Yay me. But guys I'm alive and that other Hospital sent me home not finding 90% of what was wrong with me. I could have very well gone home and not returned to another hospital and be dead by now. So I have to take my wins and I'm just so grateful and thankful for everyone who has been checking on us sending us well wishes donating and purchasing the items from our Essentials list. You are all doing way more than we could ever ask for and we are so thankful. Please continue to keep us in your prayers. There's a lot of healing that's going to take time but I'm still here so that's the beauty of all of this. Also be patient with me I'm talking to text because typing is a little difficult for me right now and even when I talk sometimes I have to stop and think for a second. I'm lucky that other than that and a little bit of issues with my right hand and foot from the stroke, I am almost back to normal from the stroke itself.
Hi guys, I never thought at only 38 I'd be saying this or have to ask for help but Wednesday night I lost all feeling in my left side. I lost all motor skills and fell. My husband called 911 and I was brought to the hospital. I had a stroke. They also discovered that I had a previous one as well. I was admitted to the hospital and I'm still here. They have a few ideas of what is wrong with me but there's lots of discovery to come to figure that out and determine exactly what it is. I have severely injured my knee from falling from the stroke and I can barely walk without assistance. Mri later to day to determine the damage. Right now I need to recover and figure out what is the cause of this.
I'm coming here to ask for help because if you know my situation, you know medically I have been struggling for the past 4 years with neurological symptoms. I have depleted our savings with co-pays and deductibles over the last 6 months as the doctor are trying to figure out what is wrong with me. They think I have MS and I was on the final stretch of diagnosis when the stroke happened. We are a two income household and we cannot survive without me working. Since our savings has been depleted from all of my co-pays and I'm unable to work, we are asking for any help or prayers to help us through this rough time. If you know us we never ask anyone for help for anything and never have, but I have to swallow my pride because I know we can't make it over the next few months without help. My husband is going to pick up extra hours at work when he can but rent and groceries are high and so are copays. I'm hoping to have hit my deductible from my hospital stay but that won't register right away with bcbs. We know we won't make it without me working the next mont and I have to see a hematologist, cardiologist and the neurologist and they want to do an outpatient procedure to check for the hole in my heart. So if you find it in your heart to help, we appreciate it so much. Please reach out directly if you would like to donate another way, we would greatly appreciate gift cards for gas or groceries as well. Thank you guys.
For those asking, you can personally message us for more direct donations. I know some don't want to use gofundme.
Thank you so so much! You have all been amazing.
