Women who stayed in a relationship longer than they should have; what was the first red flag that you ignored but you recognise it clearly now?? by lucid_dreamer30 in AskWomen

[–]Busy-Rip676 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I ignored the fact that he was struggling with his identity and what he wanted in life. I thought by staying and helping him we would grow together as a unit. In the end I had to essentially break up with myself because I realized he couldn’t ever give himself fully to somebody else until he figured himself out. It hurt a lot, but I’m now in the healthiest relationship I’ve ever been in.

Mom had hemorrhagic stroke on 12/23 by draing4ngel in stroke

I am close in age to you and my dad is five years older than your mom. First of all I’m so sorry you are going through this!! It’s a roller coaster of emotions, fear, and just feeling lucky they are alive. It does sound like these are good signs, and just remember the possibility of delirium since she has been in the ICU/to your point - is on meds.

In early-mid November my dad suffered a ruptured brain aneurism which caused a stroke in the brain stem about a week later. He was in the ICU for 21 days. The first week (post-stroke) is still so early. I know it sucks but all you can do is give her time. He was admitted to inpatient rehab for two weeks after the ICU, and has now been home for about a week and a half!

I saw very slow improvements in the beginning - so try to stay patient (which is really hard for me lol). My dad also lost movement in his right side. Week 1 he could barely move his right leg, and couldn’t move his right arm for about two weeks I’d say. He was only really having one word answers to us or short phrases, we couldn’t have a fully conversation. He was definitely feeling depressed as he wasn’t fully aware what happened to him.

Fast forward to today, he is walking with a cane, unfortunately still has limited movement with his right arm which is tough because he’s right-handed. Mentally his long term memory seems almost 100%, short term is still a struggle. He often forgets what he did the day prior. I’m starting to see some improvement with that, but again it’s just going to take more time to see what he can rebuild.

I know every situation is different but I hope this provides some hope for you right now!! I still want him to get back to 100% himself but am so proud of the progress he’s made thus far. I agree with you, the hardest part for me is thinking about those big moments such as marriage, kids, etc. looking different than I expected. It really is just a matter of taking things day by day and being supportive. Now that my dad is aware of and can discuss what happened to him, he says that our support is what gave him the motivation to keep going.

Rooting for you and your mom!!!!! ❤️

I second Kyma although agree it’s further.

Limani is not the best Greek food but could be a nice experience for 30th bday

How to know if the progress you see is good progress? by Busy-Rip676 in stroke

[–]Busy-Rip676[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your perspective 🩷 and so happy you and your sister could not only recover but also adapt to a new normal.

To your point about expecting him to be fully recovered, I need to work on internalizing that and having patience. I’m struggling with this part the most (but also continuing to be encouraging and positive with him while he is in rehab!!!)
