Mom may have had a stroke. Haven't had sleep for close to 24 hours. Can't think straight right now.

Walk. Get something to eat. If you can talk to someone or be around someone it might help. Hope everything turns out alright

MRI results aren't out yet so can't rule stroke out but doc says that mom's current state might be low electrolytes and very low sodium. Ain't much but better than a stroke.

Okay, okay. So far. Ps. No sleep and fan on mobile is black on black so no even gonna bother with spell check ing because when typing on my phone it's black on black.
MRI results aren't official yet gotta wait whole day for official results so far no no sign s if stroke so it's definitely very low sodium levels.
Not that horrible but still pretty bad. She gotta be slowly be given sodium to get her to normal.
One other snag, she tested positive for covid. Only one person will be with her so I'll be locked in. As an aside, it's gonna be withdrawal time for me. No mug of Bran brandy for a day and no pack of cigarettes per day

24 hour mark hit. Now I'm really seeing weird. There was a cat who was walking past stopped and from my eyes I see it sit still and slowly slide back in my field of vision

Sorry for being late. So, thankfully it's not a stroke. It was due to low sodium, very low sodium levels in my mom that led to stroke like symptoms.
That's the gist of it. She also has covid so she's in an isolated section. I'm here with her, and due to hospital rules I'm not taking a step out of said room until she's cured.
Not so bad, really. Air conditioning, got to experience a hot shower, and still got my phone.
Mom got into the room around 6pm yesterday. She's doing much better. Speaks coherent now... Compared to when we brought her in when she was half paralyzed and barely babbling.
So, after making sure she was well spent some time sleeping. Lots of sleep. Sleep and periods of checking in.

Good to hear that she's on the mend and you're finally able to get some rest yourself.

Apparently my dog is sad. I walk him daily and he'd sit next to me when I use the laptop, and I think this is the first time he hasn't seen me for this long.

I have a cat that always sleeps in my bed and he will start yelling when it’s bedtime and I’m not in bed. When I’m out of town one of my kids has to sleep in my bed just to ensure he does not have a panic attack over spending the night alone. His brother has also taken to sleeping in my bed every night too. |

If she's hungry on some mornings she'd either whack me on the head or kinda chew on my hair to tug it. |

Like, holy hell. Just being able to move around feels nice.
Hospital room, despite being considered the luxury isolation room (no choice but that as rooms were full, and we went to four hospitals already where there was no room)... basically room was small. All I could sleep on was a small sofa that ain't fitting my hunched body.
I stuck to that sofa to keep some social distancing as small as it was. Mask on all times. Unless I had to go to the bathroom, or my mom needed something I lied down on that sofa for most of the day. Again, social distancing, when I ate I huddled on next to the door that led outside... plus I didn't wanna eat in front of my mother who had to eat through a tube. No room at all.
Back here, I'm leaning back on my chair and just letting my neck unwind. Best feeling in the world.
Not really a neighbor, but from a distance from my room there's this house with several lights in their roof that I can see when I stand up. Obnoxiously bright, really. Sitting down, I can slightly see a vaguely red outline in the sky and those are those lights. It's actually a nice comfort right now, reminding me of normalcy.
