I am truly fed up with the after-effects of my stroke. Most of the time on my feet I am exhausted and giddy. My voice is still very poor. Nobody, and I mean nobody, seems to comprehend the hell I am living through. Outwardly I look "normal" and healthy. Inside is a different matter.
All I want is for things not to totally exhaust me and not to feel so wobbly. I feel so useless inside. Sitting down on the PC is fine, but the moment I try to do anything physical or mental I am soon "done in".
It seems a long time since I was my old self.
Roger,
ReplyDeleteI have been following your blog(s) for quite some time and have read your comments regarding the after effects of your stroke. I wish I could do something to make everything right in the world for you but alas I cannot.
I have not suffered anything like that which you have but I can sympathize. As I grow older my knees get wobbly, my stamina wains, and my eye sight grows weak, my spirit still wants me to able to climb and run and jump like as I did when much younger but the aches and creaks and what not tell me otherwise. It is indeed very frustrating to try and do some of those simple things I used to take for granted but now struggle with. As frustrated as this makes me feel, I know there are others worse off.
Getting old sucks but I just have to keep reminding myself to make the best of it.
May every day in some way be a bit better than the last or least no worse.
Kindest regards, and best wishes.
cheers, Graham ve3gtc
Graham, heartfelt thanks and best wishes.
