  • Bad news, good news

    Bad - my Mum had a stroke on Tuesday
    Good - by great good fortune I had the day off work to get my car MOT'd so I was there when it happened.

    Bad - she's on warfarin so the paramedics could give her no treatment till bloods were done at hospital
    Good - we got to the hospital within an hour of the stroke happening.

    Bad - if the INR was above 1.8, no treatment
    Good - after being above 2 for 6 weeks she'd had it tested the day before and it was 1.7.

    Good - the mega dose of blood thinners dispersed the blood clot
    Bad - it also means the slightest touch brings up a bruise.

    Bad - huge bruise and very swollen left leg where she was manhandled onto the CT scanner
    Good - apart from that she's just about back to normal in speech, arm and hand movement, and I'm sure if it wasn't so bruised, leg movement too.

    She's making a good recovery, and I hope that once her tablets are all sorted out, she will be able to come home with home physio. They are taking her off warfarin onto a newer drug, and changing some of her other pills too.

    So sorry to hear about your mother, dear Mothhawk.

    Hope she is soon on the mend.

    Love and best wishes to you both.

                        If it had to happen at all, then there were a lot of positives in the way it did happen.

                        Hope Mum (and you!) get over this as soon as possible and she's back home feeling better quick smart. x
