    About Me

    I am a 42 year old female who recently suffered a hemmorhagic stroke. Upon being released from the hospital, I have found that no understands what I go through on a daily basis. I thank God that I have the mobility of my right side (affected by the stroke). Right now emotionally I am a mess. My moods swing and I become angry because I can't do the things I use to. I had to go back to work a bit earlier than I would have because I ran out of sick time. I am finding myself falling into a depression and have no one to talk to who can even understand what I am dealing with on a daily basis.

    • Close Stroke

      I suffered a hemmorhagic stroke in december 2007, released from the hospital to have outpatient therapy. I became ill and had to return to the hospital (january 2008) due to reaction to medication administered to me. This was almost fatal. my organs began shutting down. Thank God I pulled through. Now I am experiencing the aftermath of the stroke and medications. I hurt everyday, skin on feet peel, and there is numbness, coldness as well as pain in my legs and feet. i have been restricted from driving and am very frustrated. My frustrations comes from not being able to manuever as I use to. My emotions are out of control at times too. I may break out in uncontrollable laughter, then start crying or becoming angry.
