PFO

Tuesday July 14th

The doctors wanted to investigate something further that they had seen on a test on Monday.  I was off to have a transoesophageal echo cardio gram.  After this, the cardiologist was able to confirm that I have something called a PFO (patent foramen ovale).  


This is something that is in about 1/4 of all people. It’s usually only discovered when extensive testing occurs. It may or may not be a contributing factor to my stroke.  I had more blood taken for extensive testing.I am also wearing a Holter monitor for 14 days to monitor my heart. It is a portable device for cardiac monitoring.


And this is the struggle i face with my left arm.  Simple movements have become very difficult for me.  I have to connect the wires from my brain to my muscles all over again.  The struggle is real.

In sickness and in health šŸ¤µ šŸ‘°

 Sunday August 16th 36 nights.   36 straight nights i’ve spent in the hospital...5 more to go.   That’s 36 nights not at home. 36 nights not at home with Jillian.  36 nights not tucking the kids into bed.  Those first few days after my stroke were like a blur. Just trying to figure out what had happened, how things were going to change, and what lay ahead of me.   Through all of it, Jillian was incredible. In ‘crisis mode’ as she put it. Driving the RV back to the SOO.  Calling for back up help, getting the kids settled in the hotel in Sault Ste. Marie, at my side in the hospital.   For 36 straight days she has been right by my side.  There to hold my hand, give me a hug, or encourage me. We cried together....more than once.  There through all the doctor šŸ©ŗ meetings asking all the questions that I didn’t know to ask.   Bringing me dinners, bringing me lunches, bringing me coffees ☕️, bringing me snacks.  She brought me a coffee machine. She brought me clothes. She took back my dirty la

Spasticity šŸ§ 

Image
Thursday July 30 Spectacular Dawn sky this morning Stroke recovery, as I am learning, can be extremely frustrating.  My body has gone from a state of paralysis or flaccidity, to a state of spasticity.  Spasticity is an increase of muscle stiffness and tone which can interfere with making voluntary, or desired movements.  This is where the frustration really kicks in.  To work on this we are doing  passive range of motion exercises were the therapist moves my joints and limbs.  They also use active assisted range of motion exercises, where the therapist helps me practice or complete the movements.   Recovery is slow. It takes time. It cannot be rushed. I have to get my head around the fact that all I can do is be patient and continue to focus on the things that I can control… Keep doing my exercises… Keep working hard with the therapists.... And keep being positive! I CAN...I WILL...I MUST! This video, from last weekend shows how something that is normally so easy, has become so difficu
