All about me

I finally got diagnosed with what caused my stroke on February 29,2012. Lupus anticoagulant syndrome, which basically means my blood clots faster than than most which can cause seizures, vertigo and stroke,All of which I have had and whined about in this blog. I could have kissed the specialist who diagnosed me , but he looked a little scared at the proposal. It just felt amazing to have a name to what has been haunting me since 2007 and my pregnancy that was,wasn't meant to be.So what does this mean? I continue on the same path with physio both at home and the hospital, challenging my brain dailyto help it remember I have 5 fingers on each hand, not 2. Finally to hopefully  put my bra on by myself, instead if Keith having to help me, Our neighbors across the street weould probably appreciate this since I have been coming downstairs half naked or Keith's help for almost a year...Fun times!!!

Spring break swimming and new bike!!!


Okay, I have fallen behind Again!!!!

I am so sorry, I have no good, plausible excuses, so here is one of a few posts I plan to do tonight. The pic above is one Emmy drew at school of me and her,Keith is wondering why he wasn't included LOL Poor Keith - does 90% of the work around here and gets left out!!Emmy is well, she is in gymnastics every Sunday and will be starting swim lessons 3 times a week as of April 30.I want to try to get her into a few summer activities but trying to slowly add them to make sure I am able to cope with the demands.More on that in another post.Keith is good- working 6 days a week. I don't know how he does it, but he does.
