My wife had a massive stroke on March 20, and spent the next 28 days in the hospital (7 days in NICU, nearly 3 weeks in Neurological Rehabilitation. She is doing ok, but still has a left leg and arm with little to no feeling, no left peripheral vision and some other brain issues. She is walking, but not well. She has left her job as a social worker with adults with DD, is on full disability, and can't currently drive.
I am her sole transportation, therapy-partner, etc, and I love it. Being Bipolar, however, has me a little worried. She is easily irritated and upset and, when that happens, she thinks she is having another stroke. It takes everything I have to calm her down, and so far, so good. However, my pendulum can swing at any time, and this scares me. Of course she is fully aware of this situation, and she wants to get better to help me.
I pray to God that I can be the provider and caregiver that she needs. Has anyone had an experience like this? Please let me know what you did, and how it worked.
God Bless, and thanks ahead of time.
