FUCKED UP SHIT
Not only do I play several games through Facebook .
But I was applying for a job this morning . The company has a Facebook link . I clicked on it . This is what I got .
I found that I have been locked out of my Facebook account . I visit my Facebook account about twice or 3 times per year .
I wish my wife and kids a happy birthday . ( I usually make them a card in Photoshop ). Thank them and others for their well wishes .
That's about it .
The page said . That they find that my page does not fit their Community Standards . Lol .
If I disagree with this decision .
Click disagree .
I did .
I mean What the fucking hell are they talking about . I don't even pay attention to Facebook . Much less post anything there .
Now I wait " just over a day " . To find their decision . What a pain in the ass .
MY WIFE HAD HER 3rd STROKE
I looked over at my loving wife . As she rolled to the side and looked at me with pleading eyes . Trying to say
" I can't , I can't S , S , SSS " . Then " Help me ".
" Honey what's wrong ? "
" Fuck , shit " .
Honey you've had another stroke . We need to get us together and get you to the hospital .
This will be her 3rd and by far the worst stroke yet .
20 minutes later we arrived at the hospital .
CT scans showed no bleeding on the brain .
Because her condition was incoherent . Not able to speak .
I then had to make the decision to allow them to administer a high powered blood thinning treatment . Called a TPA .
This works to try and break up any blood clots that are affecting her functions in her brain .
And can only be done within the 1st 4 hours of the stroke .
The danger is . This TPA can also induced bleeding in other parts of her body .
But in her best interests . It is best to administer it . Let it do its work , For a better chance at a better recovery .
So I said yes .
Up until now I have been terrified .
Slowly some improvement showed .
By midnight that treatment was over . And she had been transferred to a better nuerological hospital .
Enough little improvement that I relaxed a little .
2 new CAT scans . 1 without contrast and 1 with . Showed both scans to be clear of blood .
After a few hours sleep . Me in a recliner . The next day ( today ) . She is barely able to work her language functions .
She can't voice her words and thoughts yet ( very well ) .
Although it looks and seems like memory . They say it is not . It is not able to put it to speach .
Waiting on a MRI this afternoon .
Another night in the hospital at least .
Very difficult to determine improvement at this point . She is exhausted . Needs more sleep .
Only time will tell .
UPDATE ON THE ABOVE
She flew off the handle . And demanded to go home .
Despite her condition of lack of speach motor skills . Her brain not able to send the signals for her to speak . Disorientation and confusion as well .
Despite the plan to start a 10 day in patient intensive speach and physical therapy rehabilitaion in another facility .
Despite mine , her neurologist , physician , PCP , brother , son , best friend , & nurse .
Knowing that is her best plan forward .
None of us could stop her from demanding to be sent home . Discharged .
If we didn't . She would walk out of there AMA ( against medical advice ) and lose her insurance coverage . At least for the last 4 days . And she didn't give a fuck .
Despite her condition . Which is just short of incompetant . Which was an option I would never do to her .
She got her way . She was discharged and we arrived home about an hour ago .
She has now lost the option of in patient rehab . Probably out patient as well . And is only willing to agree to home care rehab . Which is only 3 days a week . For an hour each time . And is a small fraction of what she needs and could have had .
Talk about frustrated . Humiliated . Disrespected . Embarrassed . ETC .
Not a damn thing myself or anyone could do about it .
So that's the update .
Re: WHAT'S UP ? UPDATES
We went to the Library and got her a library card . And checked out some childrens books .
She gets better every day
We were first trying to get referrals for home care speech & physical therapy .
She is doing so much better . So she will be going to a neurophysical therapy center next to Banner Desert Hosp .
It is 30 miles but it is a very good rehab .
She went there before . After her first 2 strokes . But they were nothing compared to this one .
I am very happy with her progress as she is as well .
It just takes time .
Re: WHAT'S UP ? UPDATES
When we got back from the doctor's . At 5:00 PM . My internet was restored . After 4 days . Woo Hoo ! . The ethernet is smooth as silk .
Now i got 428 emails to sort . UGH .
ANOTHER FUCKED UP UPDATE 11/22/2023
Karen's stroke recovery is going very well . Her physical and occupational therapy has her physically in the best shape in many years .
We are also much closer and happier than we have ever been .
Just as soon as we start feeling good about everything .
Karen has her annual mammogram . They detect something in her left breast . They order an ultrasound .
That determines there is a lump . Biopsy is scheduled 11/16/2023 .
11/21/2023 we get the call . Invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), also called infiltrating ductal carcinoma,
11/22/2023 we get a call from
Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center at Banner Gateway Medical Center
Her first appointment is 12/12/2023 .
There has been some tears from both of us . But my job is to keep her spirits up . Keep her mind off of it . Encourage her and fill her with hope . ( good luck with that ) . If there is one thing I am good at . It is being strong in the face of adversity .
So I took her to Walmart right away to do some shopping . That helped a little .
Man oh man this is just one more hurdle for us .
We're going to do this . Beat this shit . And get on with it .
WE CAN FINALLY RELAX A LITTLE .
Wonderful lady . Dr. Brittany Murphy .
We . Especially Karen had been freaked out the last couple weeks . The doctor really calmed us down .
She is already scheduled for her surgery . January 3 2024 . Lumpectomy .
First there will be several pre op procedures imaging , planting a seed ( clip ) in the location .
Then surgery .
Then some radiation .
Then 5 years of hormone pills to stop the estrogen . Which is what irritates the tumor .
Everything will go well . Just another lump in the road .
UPDATE
That most likely Karen will be a 95%er that got it all the first time .
Thank god that is over .
Some radiation . A couple weeks of healing .
And on to the next phase .
