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.

Yes it was tough. But I was lucky as well in lots of ways. It is a shame about your spouse, but it sounds like you are doing a great job adapting as best as you can. I have been using an electric wheelchair for a long time now due to a chronic back problem as well as PD. I try to make sure that we think about how we can adapt to do the things we want to do. Most times there is a way. Take care. The hallucinations were the worst thing i have ever experienced. I was scared witless as the alternate world became my reality for a few days. But my family got me through it.
