I didnt know who my friends were, family, even my husband. Through their patience and understanding Iam winning my life back. I can never thank them enough. It has not by any means been an easy fight.
Back in Feb I became so depressed over loosing everything I knew, I took a handful of medication in the hopes of not being a burden to my family and friends. Obviously it didnt work! Sick as a dog though!
The strokes not only took away most of my memory but left me with a new challenge. Seizures. What little bit of freedom I did have, has been taken away now. Iam not allowed to drive much and swimming in the pool is a no no unless someone is home.
Through all this, my daughter has moved in with her father as my illness is more then she can handle...I miss her dearly. Final custody hearing on July 12th and I feel like more of world has been ripped apart.
My husband lost his job recently and we have been without healthcare now for months. He managed to find a new job with major salary cuts etc. Iam amazed that this individual hasnt thrown his hands up and walked out the door!
Somehow through the grace of God, we're holding it together. I take 1 day at a time, sometimes an hour at a time and thank God everyday he comes home after work instead of running away!
I dont have a clue where my life is headed now, or what the next turn will be with the MS\Epilepsy\Strokes, but I know with God's help and family and friends, somehow I'll be ok.
