December 15, 2021 This is Us
Hey Caregiver!! We are ending this podcast year with a bang and you’re in for a real treat! Me and Mamaaaa!!
On August 5, 2018 Mama was placed on life support after she suffered a severe subdural hematoma, which resulted in a brainstem stroke. Two months later, the neurosurgeon said that she wouldn't be able to do much of anything and that with a brainstem stroke most patients are "locked-in". Therefore, her baseline was better than most.
Three years later, post rehabs, hospitals, and hospice, she's still here and living life out-loud and not "locked-in". While she's immobile her brain isn't. Listen in as Mama and I travel through this caregiving journey with humor. (her description) Note: She didn't laugh for months.
Parental advisory advised...Explicit Content. Just sayin’. She loves Jesus but she might cuss a little! LOL
Listen in and laugh with us for 15 minutes. Happy Holidays and Be Selfull! Enjoy y'all!
