starting over
Posted 08-12-2017 at 04:34 PM by ouijeewoman
First off, I have never read a blog, let alone written one. I am doing this for several reasons. I will focus on one reason at a time. I am a stroke survivor. This is the ultimate reason for this blog. I have no idea if I am doing this correctly. Probably won't have any one read this either but that is ok too. I am working my way back to "normal", my normal. Just surviving the stroke is not enough. I have to present the new me while fighting to restore the old me. The old me is here in my spirit but she is fighting every day to put on a brave face. Sometimes she is brave. Sometimes she cries. I never expected and was not prepared for this battle between she and I.
OK, that's as far as I go today.

I too am a stroke survivor, TIA, 2 even. People call them mini strokes, only it is not their brain we are discussing. At the same time, I was diagnosed with MS. Well for me I have a new norm leaving past things and events in place as they occurred. Prayer and my faith I have taken me places I could never have anticipated. Count your blessings daily to keep things in perspective is one of the many tools I employ. Be good to yourself ease up on what once was, for most, there is no turning back.

What a surprise to find a comment! Thank you fellow survivor. A stroke is a stroke. Others can say whatever they want or try to clarify what kind of stroke but it doesn't matter. We know we had a stroke and we survived. I imagine my thoughts will evolve over time. I had my stroke March 5, 2017 so feelings are fresh and raw. I need to get my thoughts out anonymously and thought of city data. I am not ready to share my true feelings with family and friends.Posted 08-15-2017 at 04:05 PM by ouijeewoman
