talking to nurse Sally

 My Monday morning began at 5:30 a.m. by taking my new seizure medication. After going for a short walk with my father, we had returned to camp at 6:00. Once inside, I had eaten some fruit while drinking my hot cocoa. At 6:30, I then went into my camp to shave and make my bed. I then returned to the main camp, so as to eat my breakfast. My mother had made me an omelet with bacon and english muffin. I call it a brunch that lasted me until dinner. At 7:08 I then returned to my camp to brush my teeth. I then put in my eye and nose drops. Once I had used my inhaler, I lied down to rest and slept from 7:30-11:45. I was woke by a face time call from Nurse Sally. We talked until 11:16. We spoke about increasing my vimapaat seizure medication. I then went into the main camp to have a salad for lunch at 12:30. At 1:00 I then washed my pill containers. At 1:15 I then watched television in the main camp with my mother until 1:45. I then went to my camp to rest. I had slept until 4:45 before waking. I then filled my dry empty pill containers for the week ahead. At 5:20 I then took a shower before eating dinner. At 6:20 I then returned to my camp and pulled up my blog, so as to type of my day.   

The Stroke

May 2nd it happened. It was told to us that it would happen again, but when we didn't know. The doctors thought it would happen before he was 14. Well they had one number correct...it was at 44 that Troy had a TIA (transient ischemic attack) stroke. The events of the evening are strikingly clear, however the reason's are not. He was transported to Franklin Memorial Hospital by ambulance, where he underwent several test which didn't result in a stroke diagnoses. It wasn't until they transported him to Bangor that they determined that he did have a stroke. The week of events were a whirl wind. The stories on this blog will fill you in on his recovery.
