Hi, @wendykd - Sorry to hear you had a stroke this past spring and your entire right side is numb now. It does not seem at all unusual that you'd have great disappointment leading to crying with having feeling in your right side one day and not the next.

I had a totally different medical situation with a neuroendocrine tumor found in my first ever colonoscopy, followed by a ton of testing for any other appearance of cancer in my GI tract or elsewhere two years ago. I would start crying at what felt like random times when something brought up my abject fear of more cancer being found.

Wondering what medical treatment you have undergone so far since the time of your stroke, wendykd?

Hi, I had a bleeding stroke when my meningioma bled. After the successful surgery to remove the meningioma, I was discharged to a stroke rehab facility and from there, went home. I learned that actually one is likely to recover more completely from a bleeding stroke than a ischemic stroke. That’s the good news. But it took me 18 months to recover as much as possible with OT and minimal speech therapy. Early on, I could tell that my executive functioning wasn’t quite right and my emotions were unstable. I complained and a therapist told me this was normal with stroke survivors. (They gradually improved. ) Physically my left side was affected and although I am naturally left-handed my left hand is not now so good as my right hand. From my experience you are not done with your recovery. And it will continue to get better. Best regards to you
