I highly suggest contacting the Stroke Recovery Center. I know there is one in Palm Springs because I've referred clients (patients) there. They may have other locations. It's worth being in contact with them. Strokerecoverycenter.org and here is the number (760) 323-7676 - KissDclown

Hi. Might I suggest the rehab unit at Los Robles? Been working with them for a few months now and their Care Coordination staff is amazing. I'm sorry this has happened. There is someone besides poppa that you have to take care of......remember to take a little time or yourself. I realize how odd that concept is, but with the tough times ahead you will need your strength and wits to know what to do. Please be well. - Butterlina 1313.7 #63 12:05AM
Great suggestion Butter! It's very important to take care of yourself. If you're not well you can't take care of your father. If you're offered respite care please use it. Also, if you will be the one taking care of him and he is receiving Medi-Cal I also suggest lookin into In Home Support Services. He may qualify - KissDclown 1088.4 #77 12:12AM
If you need help after he is discharged, I am administrator for two home health care agencies. OT, PT, ST, MSW.....RN, LVN.....let me know if you need help or just need an ear to listen. - Butterlina 1313.7 #63 12:16AM
Thank you butterlina and kiss for your resources you have no idea how much it means me.I'm trying to take care of myself I just dont know how im numb and in shock I guess - Tinky76 309.6 #581 12:22AM
Oh hey.......if you would like, I can send you some things designed for the caregiver. I sometimes do a caring for the caregiver seminar. Get some rest. Be strong. We're here if you need us. - Butterlina 1313.7 #63 12:23AM
You came to the right place đ like butter said...we are here if you need us. - KissDclown 1088.4 #77 12:25AM
Yes I would loves some more info and im keeping myself from webmd to process what the Dr told me - Tinky76 309.6 #581 12:31AM
Tinkly.........I'd you can before you go to bed.....I want you to try something. Go the fridge and take out three or four eggs. Go get a sharpie. Right on each egg what's bugging you. Now go throw those eggs and watch and hear them go splooooooooooosh. Fo hose 'em down. Watch as it washes away. It will help you clear your mind. - Butterlina 1313.7 #63 12:31AM
Why did the MD tell you? And yes stay away from webmd - KissDclown 1088.4 #77 12:35AM
Tinky......if you have time, DM your address to me and I'll get some literature to you.. - Butterlina 1313.7 #63 12:37AM
Dr said that due too his age and health factors hes shocked he didn't have one sooned and that is less than 50/50 - Tinky76 309.6 #581 12:41AM
That he could recover and has a higher rate for another one - Tinky76 309.6 #581 12:44AM

309.6 #581 12:26AM
Oops cut me off, staying positive is so hard cuz two tears ago this the time my mom started getting sick.sry I'm just rambling - Tinky76 309.6 #581 12:28AM
It's ok to ramble. It's ok to cry. It's ok to not be in a good mood. You have a lot on your plate. Give yourself permission to grieve and also give yourself permission to rest. It will be a tough road ahead but God doesn't give you more than you can handle. - KissDclown 1088.4 #77 12:32AM
You're doing fine. Bottling it up will make you loonie. Let it out. Go scream if you have to. - Butterlina 1313.7 #63 12:34AM
its a hard time for me too its been 3 years since my mom passed in a week or so so I can relate. you and your family are in my prayers *huge hugs* - SammyJo 348.7 #430 12:34AM
You know what I use to do when I needed to let things out? I would beat up my bed. Sounds funny but it works. You can't hurt anything yet you can punch and kick as hard as you want đ - KissDclown 1088.4 #77 12:38AM
Its true I will try the eggs and beat my bed.its just werid one moment I'm blab next I have tears and then I'm mad cuz I cant make it go away.its like hes not dying why am I acting like it - Tinky76 309.6 #581 12:49AM
Already I know that you will get through this. Recognize that it's ok to be sad. Acknowledge the Anger also. Be mad t what happened. Be mad at the MD. It's also ok to bad at Apopa for getting sick. Be mad. Scream. Go break a plate. Do something. You want to release all this what if and what's gonna happen tuff that's eating you up. It will help you to be more clear as to what to take action on. This most likely will make no sense at all, but when you look back on it you'll understand why I'm telling you this. - Butterlina 1313.7 #63 12:55AM
Sorry to hear this. I will keep a prayer with me tonight. May God bless your family and continue to be strong!! ⨠- MagicalLand

And have to see what I have. I may have to wait until sometime next week as I have more resources at the office. Try and get some rest. It's your time to be strong for him. Be we'll sweet lady. - Butterlina 1313.7 #63 1:08AM
Throughout the night if you need to.....keep posting in here what's buggin ya. Do what you have to do. - Butterlina 1313.7 #63 1:11AM
thanks butterlina for ur advice and everything in between and no worries when i get the resources by then i should hopefully be more sane. - Tinky76 309.6 #581 1:15AM
And Tinky I apologize o you as I am faint. The 65 hour week has taken its toll. Another thing I suggest you look into are support groups. Either where he is or nearer to you. There are others dealing with what you are. Sit and listen. Participate if you can. Somebody just might say exactly what you needed to hear. You may even have the answer for somebody else. I'll try to get the literature to you as I can. Sorry I have to hit the hay. Nighty night. - Butterlina 1313.7 #63 1:17AM
do you know of a site or where i could go to find out about strokes because i have no idea still and half of what the dr told me was like greek to me - Tinky76 309.6 #581 1:18AM
Off the top of my head I don't. Maybe look at The Heart Association. Oh......do a search of resources for caregivers of stroke victims. That should give you things for you. You may want to just read up on what it is. I don't know what kind occurred, but you may want a little understanding of the mechanism of what happened. Don't try to read about any medications yet. That will just be way too much. Read up on possible causes, treatment, and recovery info. That will give you a huge background on what you and he are facing. - Butterlina 1313.7 #63 1:23AM
thanks again and have a great nights sleep butterlina - Tinky76 309.6 #581 1:26AM
I'd like to thank you for reaching out and seeking the help. It shows me that you will do what needs to be done, rather than ignoring it nd just trying to be tough. Thank you. Try and rest. Thank you for the sweet thoughts. Nighty night. Sorry I can't sty up with you. - Butterlina 1313.7 #63 1:30AM
Contact the Stroke Recovery Center. They can connect you with resources in your area. Make the drive out there is you can. I also DM'd you some websites that are reputable - KissDclown 1088.4 #77 7:59AM

When I think back to how bad my dad looked after his stroke compared to now. He was in good shape and he battled back with a slight slur in his speech. We were told think of it as a bridge that fell down so now the brain has to find another way to get there without the bridge. Praying for you and your family. - Dizkid
284.3 #725 6:53AM
Prayers for your dad and you to get through this stronger and closer. My mom has had 4 mini strokes in the past 8 months that's left her numb in spots on both sides and that's scary enough for me, the human body is an amazing thing and is always trying to heal itself. Hope all turns out great for both of you and your dad...a little extra pixie dust couldn't hurt so I'm sending that your way as well as lots of prayers and good vibes - cdeley

absolutely! my uncle had four large strokes over a twenty year period and still drove and everything. I have had a mini stroke during a bad bicycle accident, I only have a couple of small issues from it. with rehab and exercise he can regain everything, just rely on the Lord right now while you are going through all this. - secretagentangel 710.8 #143 1:05PM
Tink...I'm incredibly impressed with how proactive you're being. You are an amazingly strong woman and you're dad is lucky to have you there for him. I'm very glad I read you've contacted the stroke recovery center. I hope they are able to give you what you need. - KissDclown
