mustang1989 Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 Thank you Ray, Kevin & Joe. Joe I'm sorry to hear that. It was close on this end. I had just went to a model show in SA the day prior so she was all by herself that day. I thank God for being right in front of her when it happened. Every time I think about how things could have turned out it scares me down to the core. Again thank you everyone who's voiced support, prayers and concern .

Joe Handley Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Thanks Joe, it was tough for Mom and her Sisters (well at least a couple of them, not sure the next oldest living one), but has gotten better over the years. I hope your wife gets better and as quickly as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang1989 Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 Thanks Dan and Tom. So far she's recovering well. She can speak normally and move all four limbs. Her fine motor skills need some work but she is working real hard to maintain her independence by trying to feed herself and use her hands. She will be in ICU for the remainder of this week and maybe half of next week but will undergo physical and occupational therapy while she's there. I appreciate all the comments, concern and prayers.

mustang1989 Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 Thanks Richard. I found out this evening that the doctor wants to start rehab pretty soon so that is really good news. She's in for a ride but the big picture looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Handley Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 That's good to hear Joe! Be prepared to run the wheels off that Stang and have a few languishing projects too! Mom spent about 1/2 of last year in a couple hospitals and nursing homes, Dad was up bright and early to go to her side every day if he hadn't stayed night, no matter how far then my sister and I drove there every day we could. From the time I put new tires on my 200 in April to this January, I had put 10k miles on that car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 Jeez. I hope it doesn't come to nursing homes for her. She's 46 years old. I guess we'll find out in the weeks to come but I'd just as soon she come home. Thanks for the kind words Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 We almost lost her by May, luckily, things worked out for the better and she is healing up from some of her issues, some won't go away, but she's doing well enough that we're planning a road trip to where she grew up for what will likely be the final reunion for high school as well as to visit her family there. I hope things turn out even better for your wife Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveM Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Glad to hear she is recovering. My Mother spent some time in rehab a couple of years ago after her earlier stroke. She came through that one pretty well. The people in the rehab were great. Even if she is in a nursing home setting for part of the rehab, that is OK. It just gives them more time per day to work with her. Exercise is very important, but so is rest. My Mother did about 4 weeks in the nursing home based rehab, then came home to about 3 more Months of therapy. We'll keep her in our prayers.
