Okay, I had a really bad scare. It all started last Wednesday night. It started out with a slight tingling in my right hand and fingers. I didn’t think anything of it since I have parathesia already. Then it started traveling up my arm and then affected my face. By morning my entire right side was numb and tingling. So, off to the hospital we go. After a ton of tests they still didn’t know what was going on. The CT scan and bloodwork all came back mostly normal. I wasn’t presenting like a stroke. My speech wasn’t affected nor my face didn’t droop. It wasn’t until late afternoon when the MRI test came back, that they discovered a very tiny bleed in my brain. So, the diagnosis was a stroke. The doctor says it was probably in the best location possible: in the Thalamus, which that part of the brain heals really fast. I got admitted for observation since another brain bleed could occur with the first 48 hours.

I was discharged yesterday. It felt good to be home again. Nearly all my symptoms have vanished with the exception of the two small fingers on my right hand where it started, are still numb and tingling. Not sure if I’ll get the feeling completely back or not. I guess time will tell.

The biggest part of this message, is to tell you, we all must cherish everyday and to ensure you tell your loved ones how much you love them, because we never know what each day holds for us.

Blessings to all of you. Each and everyone of you mean so much to me.
