LowLow got a stroke
Lowlow, an old woman who just pasted her 70th birthday, got a minor stroke 2 days ago. She tried to cook something on the stove, right in the middle of cooking, she went inside her room to change PJ into daily clothing, when she try to pull up her long pants, she fell, and the pants stayed under the knees, her mouth has little blood, but she was leaning against a soft chair instead of hard floor.
Her roommate came home and see her door was closed and lucked, but the phone keep on ringing, so the roommate knocked the door, no response, phone ring again, no one answers the phone, so the roommate knocks the door again, no response. The roommate goes out knocked neighbor's door, so the guy come in knock the door louder, Lowlow stands up and open the bedroom door, and she come out and sit on the kitchen chair, feeling totally confused, can not recognize any faces.... she got stroke.. send to Kaiser by ambulance with Mike.
I was in a great shock when Steve called me about this, and I did not get good night sleep that night... I thought, no, she can not die like this shocking way...
I went to see her on 13th, she is much better, she's not dying... she can move her arms, legs, and talk one word once a while, and can understand what we talking about.. but she got a stroke for sure, this is the worst thing she ever wanted to happen to her..
I did not feel well about all this... I had flu-like feeling, so I went to sleep early and slept by myself in one room.. feel much better now.
Now, she's not dying at all, what do we do with her after she kicked out of Kaiser? A nursing home for sure, but that will cost a lot, 4-5k a month easily.. solution, let's use all her bank money for medical reason first, then, go for SSI since the condition is bank saving is less than 2k, a house is ok, low income..this will do, no out of pocket $$ for any medical or nursing home related..
This is sad, but whatever comes, we deal with it, that's what our daily life is all about..............
Tomorrow will be a better day, that's what we all hoping for..

So so sad. But if you die you die, it happens, we shouldn't fear death, it's part of the life cycle.
