Sorry to hear of the complications, but welcome back.

Do you or they feel that the effects of the stroke will recover with time?

I am glad you are doing better now. I hope you will not have any residual effects from your stroke. Give us a full update when you feel up to it.

Lorrie:

Your guardian angel was certainly looking out for you. Praying that your recovery is complete and uneventful from this point on.

Lorrie - glad to hear the surgery is behind you. I pray that you will have a full recovery from the small stroke. I know you must be getting rehab for it. Please take advantage of it. My dear Joe had a stroke and rehab brought him back. Please let us know.

Boy, Lorrie. You have really been through it! I went back and read your old posts and take it your TEE results weren't good. What did they say caused the problem? Did your valve need replacing again?

Regardless, I'm glad you are home and back with us. I know several on this board who also had small strokes and are now doing very well. I hope you are already seeing improvement in your hand and leg.

Hi Lorrie,

Glad to hear the surgery is behind you. What a double whammy! I do believe we have guardian Angels. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers for a complete recovery and no more complications. Rehab will help to get you back on the road to recovery and feeling better and better.

Hey Lorrie,
Sorry to hear of all the problems you had. I hope your recovery goes well for you.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Take Care

I will share with only what I know, having had several small strokes. It takes time but things get better slowly. You be glad for each itty bitty step. For they are the ones that move us forward in life.

For myself I lost a complete part of my memory, and my dyslexia (that I had worked very hard to overcome) came back like with a vengence. That is why I hope everyone will forgive my many errors within my posts. I don't think they have done a particularrly good job of it, no one writes to me any more.
