I’m in Seattle at Harborview-my husband had a stroke on Saturday, and got airlifted from Wenatchee since we were at the cabin. He is doing well - great improvement, but neurology is calling the shots right now.

hoping for a full recovery.

Thanks, LisaNWOSU2000 : - he’s been moved out of the icu, where he was probably the only patient who was conscious, and was able to stand AND use the bathroom!

that's a good thing at this point.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear this news. I'm glad he's making progress. How are you doing?

mimi, he is doing very well. He’s on the acute care floor, and one of his nurses told him after my son and I left that he will probably get released tomorrow. Neuro decision, not a nurse decision. I’m a little concerned; will he have another stroke? Can he handle our stairs? I just don’t know. I’m tired and I’m worried

You can argue advisability of release. Advocate for him!!!!!!!!!

I had a stoke during open heart surgery - my wife had to take over and make sure I was taken care of

Oh I do hope he can recover fully!

Sorry to hear this - I'm glad he's recovering. Take care!

Skip Z : I didn't realize you'd had a stroke. So glad you're back with us!

I had a stroke in 2012. Full recovery, and the MRIs from the stroke led to important diagnoses of aneurysms that have since been treated.

Thank you, Ddaisy : CajunSheryl : Skip Z : mimi : LisaNWOSU2000 : first, thank you for your kind words of support. He will be released on Wednesday, and we may stick around for a couple of days before we head home. His stroke was caused by stray plaque. He’s doing very well. I may need to override a few of his future adventure decisions.

glad there is a release plan so soon.

Yes, he is going to have to remember he is not 25 anymore, and there are some limits on what the body can do.

LisaNWOSU2000 : we had that talk today. I told him my 3 Nag Rule was going to be suspended and I will not be ignored or dismissed with my concerns! Live with it, Mr F!!
