Lorraine Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 (edited) My husband had a major stroke this afternoon while driving. They're not sure how bad. He couldn't talk or walk when he got to the hospital, but they think they got the clot in time. I have no one and I am all alone. I'm sorry to come here again and burden you. Please. Whatever it is you do- prayer, good thoughts - send them my way fast. I can't go through this again. I never recovered from the last time. His truck has to be towed home, but I don't have the keys and the tow company doesn't know if they can do it or not. God help me please. I honestly don't think I can do this again.

JohnnyBlaze Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Sorry to hear all of that, Lorraine. I hope everything will be okay. It’s okay to vent here. Many of us have used TRF as a sounding board. It can help at times. Hang in there. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 Thanks, Johnny. One bright spot - the keys were in his truck and they were able to tow it home. One less thing to worry about. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 Praying hard for you and your husband! I'm so sorry you and he are facing this again, Lorraine. Let me know if there's anything I can do. The first time was a nightmare from which I never emotionally recovered. He was in the hospital for two months and then three at home. The three at home were the worst. It was awful.I can't go through it again. He's a handfulPraying hard this isn't as bad as the first time, but they said he couldn't talk when he got to the hospital and couldn't stand. They'll know more in a few days when they get him stabilized more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fridge Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Very sorry to hear this Lorraine....the only crumb of comfort I can offer is that it sounds very likely they got to him in that all important first "golden hour" and this will improve his prognosis significantly.... Best wishes to you in this trying time. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Carmina Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 That's terrible -- but you've already had some good news; if he was driving, it could have been so much worse. Let's hope there will be more good news to come. We'll be praying for your husband's quick recovery and your strength. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbanezJem Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 So, so sorry to hear this Lorraine. A very difficult thing to go through. I hope it`s okay for me to say this, but I see a lot of stroke survivors in my job and the improvement from the event, to a few months down the line, can be amazing. Best wishes to you and your husband. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
