<![CDATA[My wife's in hospital with a suspected stroke.]]>My wife's in hospital with a suspected stroke. She went mad gardening the other day (she's older than me and doesn't realise she may have to take it easy) and has been having trouble walking since. I tried to get her to go the next day but she didn't want to make a fuss.

Anyway, they're doing a scanner but that can only reveal a positive. She'll have to wait until tomorrow morning for the MRI scan.

Sitting at home shitting myself.

Yay!

She's been offered a stay in a convalescence place and I'm currently telling her she'd be mad not to take up the offer.

The doc will call me in a couple of minutes and I'll try to get her to convince Carla to go and have a chill out.

Looking good 😊

Oh, shit 😲

Does your local hospital have fast track assessment for suspected strokes?

The doc called the emergency service and I was raced to the hospital in the ambulance.

There they scanned my head to make sure i didn't have brain hemorrhage.
Next they pumped me full with blood thinners.
Was put in a hospital bed for two days and was monitored full time.

Released,

Some tests, coordination, walking.

Stamped "Cured", it sure was a stroke.

Should stop smoking. *cough*

A brain hemorrhage is double scary.

Take good care!!

Even though she's yet to have the MRI scan the current doc thinks it's not a stroke, which is good news. But she's going to be in for a few days so I'll be bringing her a load of stuff later.

It feels quite positive.

A week and a half ago she had a fall (tripped over a box left on the floor in the cafe at the medical center) and broke her arm. Then spent a couple days in the hospital. She’s home, and cranky. It’s going to be a long slow road to recovery.

I can say I feel for you and hope for some good news tomorrow.
