So some of y’all had seen my stories about this- but I thought I would share on here as it was kinda a big thing in my life.
About 7 weeks ago I woke in the middle of the night feeling very weird. I tried to go back to sleep but woke my sweets telling him I needed help. I could barely talk and when I could it was very weird, He convinced me, then rushed me over to the emergency. I got a CTscan which showed that I had a blood clot in my brain and was currently having a stroke. I was then airlifted me to a different hospital where I immediately underwent surgery to remove the clot from my brain.
The stroke and clot was caused by a pseudoaneurysm from some sort of past trauma, so the following day I went into surgery to put a stent in where the Pseudoaneurysm is. I spent the better part of the week recovering at the hospital- where I would get neurological checks every hour to make sure I wasn’t loosing functions. I had an MRI and Cardiogram that showed that I didn’t have any damage other than the surgery spots , and a few days later I went home.
I am so very lucky that Kevin was here and super decisive, that there was a team of neurosurgeons close by and that they caught it super fast, that nothing else was went wrong in either surgery, and that there wasn’t much damage (I can still talk and eat and move) and I most likely don’t need any PT.
Kevin took great care of me, and didn’t leave my side in the hospital 🥰 My parents were able to make it here quickly, and one of my sisters. In the few weeks of recovery downtime my little community came about and I had daily visits and meals from friends. I truly cannot tell yall how grateful I am. Grateful for Kevin, for my family, for my sweet friends, for the health that I have, and that just a mere 7 weeks have transpired and I am gearing up for an Open Studio this weekend!
I am still reeling for the experience a bit, but I am doing really good, we are moving forward! Not dead yet kids 😉
I am not doing a gofund me or anything like that, I just ask that in the next couple open studios that you would come by, say hi, bring your friends and if you see something you like take it home with ya!
