I just found out tonight that my mom had a storke today but was on going from Thrusday night .
as she was driving my nephew with her she couldnt find where she was going (no problem for she never knew direction any how ) but when she set thu red light and green light thats bad the she turns from left lane not turning lane then Friday she tried to call me but we had left the house So I tried to call her Sunday when I knew she was home and phone was busy for almost 2 hours then I got answering machine no asnswer from her I tried calling this morning still no answer.
My sis calls me tonight telling me she had a stoke left side of brain is messed up she cant talk cant write but she can still walk.
then I talk to my brother he says they are going to run test tomorrow to find where blood clot might be between heart and brain. I cant do any thing if I go up there and I know for sure they are going to put her in assistant living place . would you go up to her now or wait an go in a month for her birthday? Which is also my daughters birthday?

Hey LKo12
Please,take my advice & go to your Mom-I beat myself up everyday for not going to my Momma when in my heart I knew she was sick (she wouldn't admit to me how bad it was nor did my father tell me)
I'm not saying your Mom is gonna pass away but if anything happened you would have that regret for the rest of your life.

Its really shocking to read the fact. wish your mom come round soon.Your presence need her most at this moment. Try to solace her that you all are beside her and she is not alone. hope she will come to her normal life soon.

Bless you heart! You should go. Never wait because she could be worse later. Do not kick yourself, you are only one person and can not be everywhere at once. I live next door to my Mother who is showing signs of dementia and I am her care taker. Please go see your Mother, they are so precious and do not live forever. I wouldn't be able to wait a month. I would be so stressed by the time I got there I would not be any good. I am glad I made the choice to move back to my hometown to care for my Mother so I can have these wonderful memories of her everyday. I lived 350 miles away when I made this decision and it has been the best one for her and me. Maybe you could bring your Mother to your house and care for her.

Sorry to hear this. I would go and see her without waiting. If she is old, you never know what is next.

I am so sorry to hear about your mother, yes you need to be with her. I survived a stroke couple of years ago and had to learn to write walk hold the fork and all. My prayer goes out to you and your family. I hope they find the problem it took along time to find mine it was a blood clot my right side was paralized I am fine now so maybe she will be ok. Take care.

Lakota sweetheart I am so sorry about your mum and I know you must be upset! You have to follow your own heart on this one honey, I had a discussion on here a week or two about my Gran having a stroke a few years ago (she is now 83, healthy and fit - helping with my housework!) from which she recovered fully with no lasting effects on her health and she still lives very independantly! I know that each one of us reacts and responds differently to medication and Physical therapy but I hope your mum recovers well from the stroke and that her health improves dramatically! When you hear from your brother and sister find out what the results seem to say and make up your mind from there which is best for you to do! Sending you all my thoughts and prayers for you and your family honey!
