I watched all of your videos. I wonder if the issue with your eyes is getting better? and the focusing? I had a left thalamic stroke June 3, the day after my 41st birthday. Sucks. I hope I can go back to work soon. And I hope you keep us posted!
My eyes are getting better, but so slowly that its hard to notice. I do have to take Claritin every day to mitigate the eye boogs but at least I am functional. Keep pushing yourself and don't accept the plateau when you feel you've reached it. Take care, stay in the fight.
Hey, I just had a left thalamic on April 30th 21. I also crashed my truck but I can’t remember any of it. I scuffed a guard rail. I got to work and sat in-front of the computer for two hours when I started coming to. I could realize my right arm wouldn’t work. I also have a PFO I’m Extremely tired all the time. My brain is working slower.
I am really sorry to hear that. I hope you got to a doctor and had the care you needed! Can you talk about any of the symptoms you felt, was it the arm not working that prompted you to say something? Very scary, just keep your head up and in the game. Brain slowing is totally a thing, but it gets better.
@@agent6t8 one of my issues is amnesia of the event. I don’t remember anything for about 2.5 hours. When I started coming too I had bad double vision and was squinting my left eye. My right arm didn’t work properly. I tried to call my wife but couldn’t figure out how to use my work phone. Prior to all of that I forgot my cell phone and wallet at home. Now I sleep different. I’m harder to wake up. I sleep harder if that makes sense. I am disqualified from doing my job. (I worked in aviation) so we’re trying to figure out my limitations and get me transferred
My 4 year old daughter had a thelamic hemorage/stroke when she was 22 months. When it comes to speech she doesn't have any just a few words and is able to communicate through noise and expression. I heard that you mentioned about shooting pains on your head or head aches she grabs my hand and has us touch her head. I ask if it hurts but she doesn't understand the concept. This makes sense why she wants us to massage her head. She also has problems tracking things. Thank you so much for sharing because it gives me in insight of what is happening or what she feels. I can better help her now.
I am so sorry, that is way too young for that to happen. Big hugs to you and your family. I don't know why but I still do get headaches, like a constant low pain in the back of my head/neck as if I slept wrong, if that makes sense. I went to a neurologjst to have some tests done and he said my stroke had to have been worse than initially diagnosed which wasn't exactly good news. The good news is that they are constantly finding out more ways to recover. I'd say try to push her to her limits as much as possible. It may feel like you're doing bad things but thats how a brain, especially a young one, is going to create new pathways.
I walked the first day I could, to the bathroom and realized I had a lot of work to do. After my release from the ICU (6 days) I went home and started walking as far as my body would allow me to. First around the block, then measured distances such as a mile, 2 miles, etc. During my first follow up with the neurologist, he congratulated me on pushing and encouraged me to keep going as hard as I could.
