Got through she is at home resting after spending the entire time with her husband. She could not receive e-mails or calls. She is in a lot of pain from the accident. maybe next week her husband will come home. Please keep up the energy, Love and prayer sent both their ways. they are the sweetest people and need all our good thoughts . For now she needs lots of rest. Thank you All
 

Thank you for letting us know about Ina! Hope your pain will go away...far, far away, Ina! It will!! So glad your husband will be able to come soon, too!
 
Good morning to everyone of you, and thank you for all the positive prayers and energy.
The doctors said that if Michael keeps improving, he can leave ICU on Monday or Tuesday, to go to the neurology department, and start physical therapy. His speech has almost totally returned to normal, and his left side is still a bit weak.

I got some sleep last night, and I am headed back up to the hospital in a few minutes.
One of my step daughters was taking me home from the VA hospital last Thursday night at about 8:00 pm, when we were rear ended on the freeway doing about 55 mph. My spine is pretty sore, and maybe I bruised my kidneys.

If they let Michael come home nexted week, I am scheduled to see my doctor. So until then I'll be drinking lots of water.
HappyFlowerLady and Chrise have been kindness itself in trying to keep up with me. I admit that I should have written to all of you myself, But I was just so frightened about Michael that I guess I've been in a bit of shock. This has been one the hardest years for us, but as has been said, 'this too shall pass'.

So many of you have helped me through this year, that all I can say is thank you, and I love all of you.
This forum might bicker, and go ballistic very once in a while, but it has been the best support teams I've ever had.

Warri, please thank those on your side of this globe for me and Michael. I don't know what I would have done without my Michael.
I will try to post more tonight or tomorrow.
Again, I know your good prayers and energy have help Michael, and he wants to thank you as well.

Hi Ina..I glad you are both ok..or thereabouts..

The same thing happened to my partner about 2 years ago...he got up, I made him a coffee and when he started talking to me he sounded drunk..10 minutes later we had an emergency ambulance outside my house, and he was admitted to the serious stroke unit at the local hospital.

He stayed for a week, came home, and his speech was still affected, as was the left side of his body..he tried to make me a cup of tea...dropped the cup..and got very upset..

I think it took about 6 weeks for his speech to return to normal..

He is still very forgetful..but at least he's here and I love him..
 
Thanks for this pchrise, I was wondering so started going through threads/posts to see if there was an update. Ina is very special to me as well. I think her and Michael are both amazing people and we need more like them.

Thanks again, if you get the chance please tell her Denise said hello and I am hoping for a speedy recovery for both her and Michael

Thanks for the update, pchrise, and Wonderful to see your post, Ina! :) Keeping you and your husband in my prayers......Lot's of Love and A Hug :love_heart:
 
Ina, I'm so glad to hear some positive news.
Don't neglect yourself in all of this.
If you need to, consult a doctor for your own injury.

I've passed your message on to the Aussies.
They have also been concerned about you.
 
Hi friends, I just got home, and I'm so tired, I feel like I'm punch drunk. Up at the VA they took my BP to pacify Michael. It was 182/118, but it will just have to hold for a few more days. When Michael comes home, then I a can sleep, and rest.
One of my grandsons, who is 24, and almost a big as is papaw, will be staying with us to help. Michael out weighs me by well over a hundred pounds.
It looks like they are going to let him out of ICU Monday, and then he will be in neurology for physical therapy for I don't know how long. At least I can picture that day now.
I came home and took my evening meds, as well as my pain meds, and that should bring my BP down.
Like I mention, I feel punch drunk, so I think I'll just hang around the forum until I can go to sleep.
I can't thank all of you enough, for all your encouragement, It has help me to keep on going.
I'm going to read bit of y'all's postings until I can fall asleep. :bighug:
 
Glad you have some help there Ina, I was afraid you'd have to handle everything on your own. Hugs, and sleep tight tonight...glad Michael will be home soon.

So glad things are looking good Ina, just don't overdue girlfriend;) big hugs, denise:love_heart:
 
I am glad that things are going along good, and praying for both of you. Hopefully, more good news today when they move Michael out of ICU, and into the neuropathy ward for treatment.
Any idea yet when he might be coming home ?
I wish there was some way that you could connect to wi-fi when you are at the hospital, and then you could be on the forum, and let us know how things are going. I hesitate to call you because I don't know when you might be getting some much-needed rest; so I am kind of leaving contact up to you, but call or IM me anytime, if you just need someone to talk to, Ina.
I am still looking for an iPhone for you. Then, you could be online while you are at the hospital, at least, and also make and recieve calls.
 
Hi Ina, just seeing you posted. So glad you will have some help when Michael returns home, that's is so great. Hoping by now you were able to get some sleep and are feeling better this morning.

Best wishes for both you and Michael to have better days and much improved health ahead.
