I hadn't realized it had been SO LONG since I came on here to do a few surveys! I went back to work full-time in December 2011 after a wonderful almost 2 years home, one of those pregnant, and the other one with my adorable little son, Kai. Time has flown! Unfortunately, in May 2012 I had a severe stroke (at the age of 23 years old) which left me paralyzed on my entire left side of my body (no motion with my face/tongue, arms, legs, hands/fingers, feet/hands). I learned that I have a hole in my heart and a weak septum that allows blood to pool/clot in one of the chambers then slip through the hole and go to my brain instead of to my lungs where clots are usually filtered. I spent a little under a week in the hospital then a month in outpatient rehabilitation/physical therapy. LUCKILY I was rushed to the hospital and recieved excellent medical care so I am still alive today with NO residual side effects from the stroke. I am back to normal, except I am a little dislexic sometimes, and I'm incredibly emotional. I am looking at options to repair the congential hole in my heart. The only REAL option is open heart surgery and I'm not really looking forward to that... UGH! I was very fortunate that my office/doctor (I'm a dental assistant) kept me employed there even though I had only been there 7 months when my stroke happened. I returned to work one month to the day after my stroke. My most recent health crisis is that I developed MRSA in a knee wound I have. It's being treated but I am on "light duty". I work two jobs... one as a dental assistant, the other is just on Saturdays and I'm doing reception/Admin at my friend's business (a doggy daycare). It's not the best job in the world but Devon & my focus this year is to pay off medical debts and credit card debts and she really needed the help of someone she could trust... so here I am. Devon is my boyfriend of 3 years/the father of my son. I think he's going to propose soon but I can't pinpoint anything to really prove it or not... either way I love the man very much and I am so glad that I have him and had him by my side when I was "disabled."
