mother in law update

she has 4 words now... in addition to yes and bloody she now also has bugger and fuck (wich i shouldnt find as funny as i do as im guessing thats her being plenty fucking frustrated at not having words... but thats my sense of humour for ya)

she seems to understand everyone just fine... just cant find words to reply

asides from a droopy eye all limbs appear to be functioning as intended and fine motor skills are still fine.... sooo... i think things is looking hopeful

they’ll be keeping her at the hospital till the weekend at least so i guess by then we will really know the score

welp.. fingers crossed

I wonder if I had to distill my vocab down to 4 what it’d be. I imagine fuck would be one of them.

Have they tried writing? Sometimes the speech center gets fried but the patient is still able to fully respond in writing or by typing.

Some of my favorite stories involve splitting the brain. The corpus callosum connects the left and right halves and in extreme cases of epilepsy, it may be severed to prevent seizures from spreading between the two halves of the brain.

When split, the two halves no longer communicate properly and a person who observes an object with one eye can see the shape and color but can’t identify the object because the brain can’t activate the speech center properly. Switch eyes and the patient can identify the object but can’t tell you the shape or color.

Bizarre .

We Brits have a weird form of humour many don’t get but it works for us as it gets us through the hard bits better. After all you can either laugh or cry, it’s hard to be afraid of something if you are laughing at it.

My mind went to Father Jack Hackett.

Yes, bloody, fuck and bugger.

Kinja'd!!!

I’m glad she’s okay, the other words she’ll pick up soon enough. It’ll be the keeping calm that’ll be the hardest as she’ll get frustrated with herself and others while she relearns them.

Take care, best wishes to all the family.

She doubled her vocabulary... that’s good!

Seriously though, glad it was caught and glad she’s on the road to recovery. I wish her, and you’re family, all the best.

Now, stupid story time - I was with my dad when he had a TIA (basically a temporary stroke - the clot passes by itself before any serious or permanent damage can occur ). I’d been helping him in a live electric panel, so after I called the medics when his stroke symptoms started, I had to make everything safe before I could leave the job. Once I do, I haul ass to the hospital where I find him in a room, and he’s just sitting on the bed, and I come in and he starts talking to me , totallly normally. I’d been fearing the worst, so I’m like “WTF?” And he’s like “ What? Did you expect to find me dead?” And in that moment all I could come up with was “No, I just thought you turned into a fucking retard. ”

And he just starts laughing his ass off. Then I start laughing. The nurses run in and are freaking out. (apparently strokes can make you do weird stuff and they were really worried). When he finally calms down explains that I just made him laugh, they all want to know what I said that was so funny. I got a lot of disapproving looks in the ER that day.

Honestly, if you can’t laugh at that, how is anybody supposed to cope with life?

My best to your mother-in-law for a continued recovery.

Yeah, at the time I was certainly stressed out but glad we can laugh about it now. I hope you all get to the point where you can have a chuckle with your mother in law, too ... “Hey, remember that time the only words you could say were y es, b loody, bugger, and fuck?”

Just focus on your MIL and don’t worry about his drama. Though tbh he sounds like maybe he’s overdue for a good roof-fall.

Laughter is a legitimate way to process grief and/or when bad things happen.

Hoping your MIL makes a full recovery.
