First of all I want to thank everyone for their sentiments. Second of all, I want to say I have still managed to blog continuously. :D
Yes I had a stroke.
Yes it was hemmorhagic. Meaning I had a small bleed at the base of my brain. The brain stem.
Yes I dodged a bullet. Call me Neo. I was real lucky.
The neurologist thinks I will make a 100% recovery. He reminded me of House, so I believe him.
I am now in rehab, doing physical, occupational, and speech therapy.
Yes, I have slur. Anyone that remembers how I talked when I got my tongue pierced will remember that.
Yes, I am happy for my survival. I will thank God and my cat everyday.
Yes, I am doing better.
How does this post make you feel?

Yay for the doing better and dodging the bullet.
Boo for the bullet being fired in the first place.
100% recovery and rehab will also help you avoid it in the future?
Dood. Thinking positive thoughts for you. SAHMOOCHES! :)
You are awesome Yoshi. You will totally make a 100% recovery. I for one don't give a shit about your slur – slur or not slur, you are awesome regardless.
:) :) :) :) :)
your stroke sounds like my dad's…he had slurred speech and lost his sense of balance. he's 100% better now…so your doctor is def right!! :)
We love you and your cat, even though we are allergic!
We know you'll get better soon!
You're so cool. Most people wouldn't bother to blog thru a stroke but you… you've got dedication, my friend! LOL
Yay that you will make a 100% recovery! Glad to see you are as dedicated to your blog as always. What would we do without you?
I don't notice your slur through your typing :)
Very glad that you are going to make a full recovery and that you are in good spirits. Prayers for a speedy recovery.
Glad to hear you're okay.
Yoshi, sending you a virtual hug and more wishes for a speedy and complete recovery. A hug for Meesh too.
And, cat? Did the cat let you know?
Wow! You really did dodge a bullet!
It's a relief that you will make a full recovery….and for God's sake, gtfo the computer and REST! Geez!
Hooray!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously, brain stem?!?!? OMG. You are incredibly lucky that you have an excellent prognosis of recovery. I hope you are investing in a medic-alert bracelet, have a list of your meds in your wallet, and take good care of yourself – lemme stress, VERY GOOD CARE of yourself, from this point on. I trust Meesh will look after you well, but if you don't listen, I will go all naggy Korean nurse who works on a stroke floor on you!
Good to hear you are getting better and good to hear your prognosis is looking good.
Stay well! x
I am so happy you are OK! Get lots of rest and take care of you!
*hugs*
um what about your mom? you forgot to thank your mom!! sheesh
Glad you are feeling better! :)
And you're still blogging?!?!
I'm SO glad to hear that the prognosis is good. I know that you'll fully recover. Take good care of yourself!
Talk about a dedicated blogger! Glad to hear you'll make a full recovery. You are truly blessed!
thank you everyone! i just wanna say that i do have my med list in my wallet, as well as a card that says i'm a diabetic and so on. although no medic alert button.
Glad you are doing better. Get well soon!
I'm so sorry to hear that you had a stroke. I wish you a speedy recovery and hope you are feeling better really soon.
