Tuesday night Ray and I tucked into bed around 10. We both fell asleep. Around 11, I awoke to Ray asking me if everything was okay... the next thing I know, I flopped off the bed and was on the floor. My mind was awake but I couldn't move. Ray and my Dad called the squad and had me brought back to the fateful hospital. When we arrived at Grant, I was conscious and waiting to know what happened. I was twitching on my right side and could not hold still. So they wanted to give me something to sedate me. I told them I shouldn't take anything :-), but they gave me a half dose anyway. It made me high as a kite, which actually was quite fun! While we were laughing and carrying on, the nurses called a code brown!!! Yuck! LOL!!
Anyway, after an MRI they were able to determine that I had a stroke. Five pieces of the blood clot from my heart broke off and went to my brain. I am okay now and do not seem to have any residual damage. Every doctor that has come in the last few days has said that I am doing great.
I am also starting a new drug because my restless legs came back. The drug is very strong and is making me incredibly tired, but hopefully I will get used to it. :-)
Congratulations to my sister Lesley and my new nephew, William Calvin Wallace!!! Love you and wish I could be there.
I should be getting out of here today, but we will see and keep you posted. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers!!
