this is to all my friends of mylot. do not know how this tyoing is going to turn out. as i told katlady earlier, i had a stroke over one week ago. i am home now but very lost. i am so used to doing everything that i have to very careful. the stroke effected the right side and my vision. everythinbg that i see is in black and white and blurry. my husband will not lwt me cook or have do anything that will hurt me while he is at work, when my head starts to hurt i have to quit what i am doing and rest for a while. right now i am okay. my right arm and hand have a mind of its own now. at least i remember how to type. do not know how i doing. but at least iam trying. i just wanted to let all my friends know what has happeed to me. sorry for spelling.

I'm glad you could stop by for a little while. Please take good care of YOU. Hurray for your husband for doing the right thing for you. Little by little you will get back to where you were -- just take it nice and easy. Thinking of you and sending you good vibes!

Hey sweetheart. I just wanted to let you know that I posted about you to our members as well, so that they would know what is going on, and so they would know that you are still with us. We're all here for you hon. You just concentrate on getting that much needed rest so that you can get better. That's the Katlady's orders! LOL Love and hugs to you my darling friend.

Has this friend been told about what happened? I'm trying to be optimistic that that is what is going on, and I hope that your friend gets in touch with you. But don't dwell on it hon. You need to concentrate on you and your health. That's the most important thing right now. You can deal with everyone and everything else when you get better. And I also wanted to let you know that several of the members here send you their blessings, prayers and support. You are not alone sweetie, we are all here for you.

It's me again. Our dear friend jdpartosa (the person whose comment is just below mine here) wanted me to share this with you to give you a smile for the day. I hope you enjoy it too: In a science class, the teacher asked fer students to give an example of things which are countless. One student answered "Water." Another one answered, "Sand." Another one anwered, "Air." The teacher noticed that everybody is participating except for one. She called the student's attention and asked the same question, "What are the things which are countless?" The student stood up and much to their surprise, answered "BLESSINGS."

Oh my gaud, I am so sorry to read about your stroke. Your typing is great. I hope they are doing what they can to help you get over this. Are you getting any PT, OT or any other help at home? I hope someone can help you out. Do they know where the stroke came from? I know what your husband is going through. I am a spouse of a stroke person. My husband had a massive stroke three years ago. It affected the right side of his body and left side of his brain. He could not talk, he was incontinent, he could not walk, he was like a little boy. When he had his stroke they did not think he would live, then they told me he would not ever talk, guess what he is working and doing fine. He has some residual problems but he is working, driving and doing fine. MY husbands stoke they did not ever find where the stroke came from. Good luck and keep us posted.

I am so very sorry to hear this mamakat0. It makes me very sad to think that one of 'our myLot family' is suffering like this. You're doing an excellent job with your typing and sharing this here with us. I'm so glad you have your husband to support you, and others as well. I pray for a very speedy recovery for you.
