My Christmas week - Brain bleed - Stroke - Updated Dec 22, 2023

[Ricki Bobby]

I’m glad you’re getting better Ron. Too bad about your bedfellow! Get yourself some ear plugs and a beer and close your eyes and relax. Do this every 10-15 minutes and repeat, you’ll be outta there in no time!

 

[catmando]

[SHREK1]

Yes getting my tube pulled out my neck today then that needs to heal for a day or two then from there I have to try to swallow some special liquids while under X-ray. If my swallow works again I go home to recover. Cross my fingers

One thing I always bring sledding, ear plugs! No way I’d sleep without them. Grab some from the nurses.

Thanks for the updates Ron!

Ps, can’t you pay extra for a private room?

Yes, but they want to make sure he can swallow first!

[Grinder]

Now you can smoke without getting teeth stained

....just about the same size as the neck of a beer bottle, pop it in, good to go... like a rad flush.

I second or third or what ever the ear plugs. Ooor, something like Bose noise cancelling headphones. You could listen to the sweet sounds of Neil Young or Joni Mitchell

My mom brought me the 3M Bluetooth ones. There charging in a few hours good to go. Neck hole must be sealing already not leaking like earlier. Such a strange feeling. Now pretty much doing as much as I can myself so I can l get released by end of the week.

Have they given you any indication as to whether or not you'll be allowed to drive? Or what your freedom level will be like?

 

[meierjn]

Good to hear that things are going well for you!

 

[Ron H]

Well... Good thing that "coughing and hacking guy" isnt into porn, that'd make for a really awkward situation...

 

[nast70]

Been following this thread since posted. Best thing is stay optimistic and patient. There's tons of support from the gang here, draw from their strength and look forward!
Get better soon!

 

[Sledderglen]

Good to hear you getting along. Won't be long now till you head home. Ron you should not be alone at home just incase. I'm sure you and the family have something figured out already.
So glad your getting better.

 

[Ricki Bobby]

Ron, if you need anything when you go home, please let me know. I’m off work and can help you out with whatever you need.

Having some blood pressure issues today, way to low. Was very light headed , face is burning. Taking it easy, too much at once.
Iv back in for a bit. I also have the swallow assessment tomorrow so cross my fingers that I can swallow myself tomorrow
