I am so sorry. You don't have to apologize. You are lucky to have not had a terrible reaction to your embolism that was permanent. My spouse went to a Movement Disorder Neurologist. He prescribed a medication that would make him drowsy. Plus the cost was outrageous. He starts PT and Speech Therapy. He has quit every PT that has been ordered. I do not expect anything different.He has a paralyzed vocal cord which makes it difficult to clear mucous. I can't wait to see how he stays for the appointments. I have taught him how to get out of bed, chair..He does pretty well for now. He is not handling some of the things he cannot remember. I just show him again. He is able to still be apart of life. It is the falling and dizziness that makes it rough. He is a trooper and does make me laugh and sometimes he is not nice. But I am fine and I get through it. My point in this is be careful. Make sure you are safe. God bless you and your family.
