dad

Just heard from the dr. It is confirmed. Dad had a significant stroke. His speech, vision and possibly thinking abilities are affected. The dr said he seems to be alert and cognitive of his surroundings. He also said dad hopefully can regain his speech, etc in the following weeks with therapy. Hopefully. He may need a feeding tube, too. But not sure yet.

The dr said the stroke affected the back part of dad’s brain, the occipital lobe/brain stem.

Wanted you all to know. Thanks for the prayers and support. I am ok, just still numb. I took a long walk yesterday to clear my head, and wound up with blisters, and had to do my workout in my socks. See, I am still silly.

Love you all, have a blessed day.

    I’m sorry Kama, I really am. I can relate to what you’re going through right now. I watched my stepdad whittled away and he was my best friend. All I can say is, enjoy each minute you have with him. I hope he can recover and come home to you and your mom.

    Hang in there. I continue to keep you in my prayers.

    Big hug! Nancy
