Hello my AI friends! Gosh, I have missed you all and feel like I have missed so much not being here. Hopefully, I can visit a bit more each day and things will begin to work themselves out.
I have had an awful time of it and have been making the doctor rounds.
I have been unable to pull my vision together, so went to the eye
doctor. He checked me for stroke, which was what I was beginning to
think since my left eye was drooping and I have had awful headaches.
No stroke but possible nerve damage, which he feels may resolve on its
own! (fingers crossed here.) He said he could see I was having double
vision because when I blinked, my left eye was down and the right was
up. Small wonder I have been so dizzy!
(beta blocker) to regulate my heart beat. So anyway, my reading and
writing ability is still impaired somewhat... my eyes just ache when I
try and read and I do love to read! and I have been trying some of my own bio-feed
back to get this straight... most annoying! It is more skipping beats,
but that lead to A-fib, as I understand it. He hopes going off the lasix
and adding magnesium will help and also feels I have been doing to
much. In fact, I have gotten the "Doing too much" lecture from CD and
PD.
Last, but by no means least... my poor brain is horribly confunded!
I am told this is "normal" but it sure doesn't feel that way! I can't
seem to hold onto a thought, or remember much of last week and time
just seems to float about for me. I feel fairly feeble minded, sort of
air-headed, maybe a bit blond...no offense! Actually,
all the doctors tell me I am doing really well and to keep looking
forward because great days are to come. They say my body is still in
shock from the trauma and my poor heart still has weeks to heal... that
even 5 years ago, I would still, most likely be in hospital. It is amazing to think it has only been 2 weeks plus a day!
Most of all, thank you for your continued prayers and good wishes... I feel as though I have flat abandoned you all and I hate I am still so limited! Please know, I am keeping you all in my thoughts and I will be doing my best to catch up with everyone!
