Late Bulletin Apologie

~ Apologies to Everyone for the Bulletin being Late! ~

My Circus... and my Monkey(s) have been working overtime lately. Sorry if this is "over sharing" but it might alert you to some medical issues to be looking out for that you did not know existed...  especially our Senior Members.

My Mom had an atypical "small" stroke, approx a week ago (nothing about it is small except the area of her brain where it is located). This type presents differently than a "regular" stroke. Her right side is affected - but she has jerking motions with her arm & leg on that side - that she can't control. It's almost like a tourette's tic. She has more dementia symptoms than before. Of course we noticed the jerking movements, but there weren't any of the typical stroke symptoms. She was talking fine and walking and her face wasn't drooping. Please keep an eye out, or research it further. Any medical professionals feel free to add any experiences that you have had with it.

It's been pretty rough dealing with the hospital trying to get into a nursing home for rehab. She may end up staying permanently, so I don't want to make a rash decision and end up in one of the bad facilities.  

Thank you for your support and of course - your patience! ~:~ Janel ~:~
