Dealing with a Family Crisis

[pafjlh]

I won't go into grave detail but right now I am dealing with a great deal in my family unit. A close family member of mine has had a stroke. This is usually not a good thing to here. When it comes to a stroke anything can happen to the body including paralysis or even death. So far she seems to be doing all right but you never know one day to the next.

When someone has a stroke they are prone to having another one. I had a close family friend who had a stroke and while recovering he had another one that killed him, so knowing that this has now happen to a close family member has me a bit on edge. Anyway, I just wanted to come here and let all this out. This hasn't been an easy time in my family, we have been dealing with a great deal and now this has happened as well. I guess all we can do right now is hope and pray that she will be all right.

Depends why they had the stroke pafjlh. There are several things that can cause a stroke, and there is some truth that in SOME INSTANCES there is a chance for another stroke but not in ALL INSTANCES. Any idea the cause? Blood clots are the most common reason, but you can have a stroke from things like narrowing of the blood vessels to the brain and a whole host of other things that are treatable. Think positive thoughts modern medicine has come a long way. I will be thinking of you and your family Good luck!

I'm sorry everything is so stressful right now hun. My cousin is just a few years older than myself and had a random stroke at work last year. He is completely fine now and they are not worried about future strokes. It turned out they had him on the wrong heart medication and he had a very bad reaction. If they can find the cause of the stroke, they can treat that cause and your family member should be able to avoid future complications. I hope everything goes well in their recover.

For me I would say this, family crisis is very sensitive and of not handled carefully it can lead to constant wrangles.
