Since three weeks has passed since the stroke, I'm beginning to embrace the headaches that I feel daily. Some hours are good while other hours I have to sleep. The past week, I have visited with some friends and one of them wanted to understand why this happened to me? I had to explain that the doctors do not know why a Perimesencecephalic hemorrhage happens to people and they will not ever know why. Many people have shared many reasons why this happened; however, they simply just do not know why this type of stroke happens. Right now I'm trying to embrace the fact that I did not cause or bring this on so I would kindly appreciate it if others would not speculate with me about the causes of this event, but instead help me focus on a positive recovery. I know when near fatal events happen people want to know and understand why because they are concerned about you, but I'm letting you know that sometimes there are simply no answers. Last night I was listening to women's conference and I read this quote it reads
"No matter how dark your days may seem, no matter how insignificant you may feel, no matter how overshadowed you think you may be, your Heavenly Father has not forgotten you. In fact, He loves you, with an infinite love."—President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
I know that my Heavenly Father has not forgotten me especially during this time in my life. I also know like many of you I would like to have answers to why this happened, but the answers are not there; however, I know my Father in Heaven along with many of you are there with me during my recovery progress. I think one of the trials of this stroke is embracing the fact that there are no answers, but over time the prognosis is good.
every trial in my life has brought me to THIS place.....a place where nothing is perfect but everything is great. i wouldn't change a thing. OK MAYBE A FEW THINGS!!!!
