want to update you all

[SilverRose]

since i'm not able to make jeff/bome proud of me....i wanted to hopefully make you, my dear extended family, proud

march 1, 2025 i had an Ischemic stroke.

i was in hospital from the 1st until today (7th). I just got home. i was first told from hospital i'd be going to rehab for 2-3 and possibly up to 6 weeks. i pushed and got myself to where i was passed where rehab could get me so i got to come home.

i'm not fully recovered....long way to go for that still! but i pushed myself and begged and asked that the physical therapist to do the same. together we got me to at least 6 weeks ahead of where everyone (dr.'s included) thought i would be.

i just kept thinking jeff/bome would encourage me to keep going. and that since he isn't here....i then also began to think that everyone here would do so as well. so in a sense.....thank you for allowing me (not that you knew you were lol) to use your thoughts and encouragements to get me this far.

i'm not all the way back, but i am a lot further than i would be if i hadn't thought about you all and used imagined words of support to get me home again. i'll continue to use your kindness and 'bullying' (which i need or i'll stop...and that's not an option...so i'll think of you all pushing me to keep going forward--if that's ok....and if not, i'm going to anyway! lol) to continue to improve myself to hopefully get to at least 95% back to where i was. i'll be happy there...but that won't mean i'll stop there. i'll keep pushing in hopes of a full recovery.

my love and thanks for being there for me, in spirit at least, to make you all proud of me.

sorry i used you in place of hubs....but you all really did help.

love to you all.

p.s. i'll keep you updated as the recovery improves. <3 <3 <3

I'm very sorry to hear this news. I had two neighbors who suffered the same thing. One was ten years ago the other was even longer than that. They both seem to be doing well today. Good luck to you with rehab its so important.

my rehab is at home and i'm so happy it is! but thank you ramsinla. i just thought if jeff/bome were still with us, he'd have told you.....i knew i had to in his stead only after i got home. but you know what i'll be going through. so just keep pushing me too! <3

Love ya Silver. Stay strong and Jeff must be very proud. Thank you for sharing I’ll keep you in my prayers !

Thanks for sharing and sorry to hear it happened to you, but it sounds you’re way ahead of the recovery schedule! Keep your body used to your daily routines as best as possible, it will help with the healing.

I had a TIA almost 15 years ago and an Ischemic about five years ago. I’m fairly back to normal, except my body associated the attacks with caffeine and can only drink 1/2 cup of coffee before nausea sets in.

Being a Rams fan, we all do well with perseverance. Keep a smile on your face and continue to keep up the good work through PT. Bome would be proud.

 

[SilverRose]

thanks dieter and faulk....i kept repeating a line from outlaw josey wales....the indian chief was talking about (i think) custer telling the tribe(s) "endeaver to perservere" and then his remark was "i'm endeavering to perservere". lol

along with saying everyone here will want me to....and i want them all to be proud of me!

i didn't know you'd had a couple. so you for sure know what a tough road i've got ahead of me......but i'm determined to push forward and make you and dieter and everyone proud. everyone in this forum is my reason to keep going. since i can't for jeff.....i'm going to for all of you! you're my strength!!!!

again, thank you! <3

Love ya Silver. Stay strong and Jeff must be very proud. Thank you for sharing I’ll keep you in my prayers !

and i'm going to hold you to pushing me the most because you of almost all here know just how stubborn i can get
but i still love all of you even though you know my faults!

Nothing but respect for you SilverRose. Good luck and Godspeed. Jeff would be so proud. I know your Ramily is.

Keep fighting and working hard....keeping fighting!!

From one PT user to another, you can do this, SilverRose! It’ll suck at first, but just focus on getting a little bit more done every time you go in. If you have a bad day, just do as much as you can.

Positive thoughts are the key! Positivity, knowing every single one of us are behind you, that there are so many people who want you to succeed, it’s a bigger boost than one might think.

Keep going and hope for a fast recovery. Lots of prayers

i'm my own pt right now. i am the worst of the worst because i won't allow myself to not do something. and my daughter has been given permission to push and bully me as well so i don't quit! lol

thank you for the words of confidence! i need them....along with the pushing and bullying!!! trust me! i'm more stubborn than a missouri mule some days! lol

Thank you so much for the update. You know Jeff is very proud of you as are we. It is nice to know that you feel attached to our group. We’ll always be here for you to bounce your thoughts off and to help push you towards a successful future.

It’s interesting what a note like this from you can elicit. I often find that I get to know our members a little better with something like that. I really thank you for reaching out.

Now put down your device and get back to work!

Cheers to you and always forward. Sounds like you are well on your way to getting your health back. I applaud you.

Glad to hear you're improving Rose. My brother in law suffered multiple strokes last month. Took a few weeks to get him off the ventilator. They still have to feed him through a shunt. But he's slowly improving enough to move him to an assisted care facility. Its a long road but it sounds like you'll get there.

GET BUSY! Remember, you get more done before noon than that slacker @dieterbrock does all day!

Get Well!

 

[Mackeyser]

As someone with a TBI from a massive Grand Mal Seizure, I connect with this journey.

Solidarity and prayers, Silver, and remember…rest is as important a rep as every other rep. Rest is the ratchet that lets you keep your gains.

I truly hope everything is going well for you as you continue on this path.

 

[Juice]

We will be thinking about you, and hope for a speedy recovery. It sounds like you are on your way.

Keep kickin' ass, SilverRose!

We're all rooting for you.

You got this Silver, no doubt.
In fact, I'm putting it on my calendar right now that in December you will be reviving the "Virtual Office Christmas Party!" that you hosted on RRF back in the day
Much love to ya!
