Mum had a stroke, in hosp
my mum is in hospital. she has had a stroke, it has taken her speech and has right sided weakness (was partially paralised but movement gotten better over past couple of days)
she had the stroke sat night/sun morn, dad rang 999 when he found her sunday morning and she has been in hosp since, luckily I was in the area anyway to visit her on mothers day, so I have been at hosp all day yesterday and this morning - just got back home to okehampton (she is in worcster royal hosp) I am shattered. I am going back up on friday.
yesterday she was totally vacant, no one home, but today she can understand more and say the odd word, she can also swallow today, yesterday she chocked when trying to swallow.
my brother is travelling up to see her, but has to head home again tonight or tomorrow.
I just dont know how to feel or what to say, she is stable and improving at the moment, but I am terrified she will have another stroke that will finish her off, and keep dreading getting a call saying she has passed away. I haven't even cried yet, I just feel numb. I can barely remember the drive home.
I have to work tomorrow and thursday - boss gave me today off.
there has been improvements though, so I just keep trying to think of that.
oh, and I dare not get wieghed now either, lived on galaxy, fruit pastils and lucosade since yesterday. have no appetite, just stick anything in me when I get light headed.
