It's starting to run in the family. One of her sons had one several years ago, her father died of one, and now her. And then, of course, there's my epilepsy.

Anyway, it happened two weeks ago and despite it being "severe" nobody knew anything other than she got weak and started acting funny. We didn't even know what actually happened for a week. She's been in the hospital for a week and a half now and will be there for at least three more days.

She's lucid but she's lost most of her sight and she has absolutely no strength. And she also has all the normal problems of your typical 86 year old woman.

Please keep her and our family in your prayers. If anyone has any experience with elder care, it would be extremely helpful. PM or post reply. Thank you.
 
Prayers for you and your family.

LLB,

I am so sorry to learn of this. Of course I will keep your grandmother and all members of your family in my prayers. I wish there was more I could do.
 
Prayers. my grandmother had a severe stoke / major stroke while recovering from a broken hip, sad to sad she died a few days later so I can understand the greif.
 
Thank you, everybody.

Today's update: The stroke has caused her to have a dangerously low sodium level which is what's causing her confusion and vision problems. It comes in and out depending on her level. Last Wednesday she could read the clock on the wall and Saturday she couldn't even tell there was a clock on the wall. The rehab hospital is ready and waiting for her as soon as they can fix her sodium level.

I'll keep you posted. Really, thank you for your concern. It's very helpful to be able to let things out to people who make you feel like part of a family.
 
Not much of an update, but they moved her to the rehab hospital. Her roommate had a stroke a year ago. They told her to expect to be there for a month. She hopes it won't be that long. I'm not sure if that's long enough.
 
That was a subject few weeks ago, but I didn't find posts ;-[
Me and my girlfriend were looking for safest alternative to Breast enhancement pills based on heavy hormons, and after passing
through lots of rip-offs, came to pueraria mirifica, natural phyto-estrogen. Supplied from Thailand, all well
spoken info at Natural Breast Enhancement as well as pretty low prices for pure product.

As I understood, the breast will get bigger and fuller within month and absolutely no side effects. Amazing, right ?
sorry for off-topic. And indeed, it works like a charm. Alison got that "teen" look of her skin, and adorable fluffy boobs.

That what they say:
A Thai biologist claimed that he has proved that a plant stem, known as "pueraria mirifica",
can produce the female sex hormone estrogen in women and increase their bust size.
Professor at Chulalongkorn University who said he spent almost a year conducting
research on Pueraria mirifica, claimed that tests showed one woman's bust grew 2.5 centimeters in five days through using the substance..
More details are here breast enhancement pills Hope it might help some.

cheers!

Most traditions have a recognizable cuisine, a specific set of cooking traditions, preferences, and practices, the study of which is known as gastronomy.
Asian herbs Many plants synthesize substances that are useful to the maintenance of health in humans and other animals. These include aromatic substances, most of which are phenols or their oxygen-substituted derivatives such as tannins. Many are secondary metabolites, of which at least 12,000 have been isolated asian recepies Concerns of cleanliness and freshness often discourage people from eating street food. Lack of refrigeration is often construed as a lack of cleanliness or hygiene; on the other hand, street food often uses particularly fresh ingredients for this very reason.Vegetarian+cooking

Age-old traditional methods are still used extensively to harvest the fruit. Primarily associated with Asian cooking. I can still remember clearly the T-bone barbecue steak I tasted at clean and healthy.
Japanese cuisine as a national cuisine has evolved over the centuries from many political and social changes. Starting from the ancient era when much of the cuisine was influenced by Chinese culture and Korean culture, the cuisine eventually changed with the advent of the Medieval age which ushered in a shedding of elitism with the age of Shogun rule.buy food

The current (14th) Dalai Lama is quoted as having said, I sometimes think that the act of bringing food is one of the basic roots of all relationships. Got a large family great china and not much money to feed them on? Use plenty of rice and imagination along with a tasty stock, plus whatever you can find in the cupboard!
Many cultures study the dietary analysis of food habits. While humans are omnivores, religion and social constructs such as morality often affect which foods they will consume. Food safety is also a concern with foodborne illness claiming many lives each year. In many languages, food is often used metaphorically or figuratively, as in "food for thought".Truly, More stories
