Update

FIRST, thank you for all the Thoughts and Prayers.

Yes there is Power in Prayer.

I am having a hard time coming to grasp this situation, I am weak on the left side, I get tired walking any distance, I cannot tie my shoes, I cry alot, I carry tissues because I drool, I type with one hand, my left hand feels like a club, My left leg is weak, my left side of my face is always asleep, I can not drive, my left arm is about 20 pounds heavier than it was. I am not happy BUT I AM LUCKY!! GOD IS GOOD!!!

The area below my right ear is where they placed the stent, I had prior surgery there and in April when this artery was checked it was OK, at the hospital it was over 80% plugged which caused the stroke, it plugged in 2 months time.
.
They went thru the artery into the brain and opened up the arteries that were also restricted of blood flow, found the area of the blood clot on the right side of the brain, It was awful, far worse than the 7 stents they placed in my heart prior to this.

To reach my brain and neck area they went into my artery in the groin area, this was very uncomfortable, dam near killed my I thought but I am still here.

.
I got to watch this placement of the stent in my neck and the cleaning out of the arteries on TV next to my table, I am home, I CAN WALK, SPEAK, SEE, I start Rehab programs Monday the 26, I have to get into this program as I still have to have the surgery to restructure the bowel as soon as I can, my diet is still light soft foods but I don't have to have someone feed me. Surgery will probably not happen for a couple months which is probably September, than rest again for 4 to 6 weeks which makes it Mid November, Than hopefully it will be off to Florida for the winter.
.
Sounds like a lot but I have to be positive as all I am doing now is sitting and thinkin which is no fun at all.
.
So, once again, thank you for your thoughts and prayers, GOD IS GOOD!
.

Also keep our men and women in Uniform in your prayers!
