However long I have, you shall have my heart/my love, beloveds.

Beloveds,

This is a tough day, a tough week, a tough year.

Still, I rise.

Still, I try.

Again.

And, yet…

These are photos of my brain 🧠. The white areas are where the  stroke happened.

They said my brain was on 🔥 fire. Burning what it could devour. Initially, I was completely paralyzed. I couldn’t speak. I could hear everything.

I found myself yelling ” I’m coming “at the top of my 🫁 lungs. No one could hear my silent, my tortured, my horrifying screams.

More on that later…

Tonight  I stopped by to encourage someone. Starting with me.

I don’t ask why me. I HAVE wondered why the hard must be so damnably hard ALL day.

Yet, I fight on. So, too must you. Recently, I have had a major setback. They say my brain is burning embers causing my body to experience the same symptoms as before. At first, I  freaked out. I hollered ” OH, God not AGAIN “

I couldn’t bear weight on my right leg. My left was fine. I was in excruciating pain.

After. The MRI showed no NEW stroke I was told I may have to live this way for the rest of my days.

Now, when I’m tired I can barely speak due to numb left cheek. Still, I have 📞 calls I have to make. Sis and niece no longer do anything I can do myself.

Now, I can finally get on my potty chair. I call it The Potty Wars.☺️🤠

I have gotten down to an hour. Last week it took three hours. Egads.

My life would have been easier if the stroke affected the other side so I could use my right hand.

Life said HA! DEAL WITH WHATYOU HAVE NOW.

So, I deal. I have to. So, do you!

We got this.

Life is NOT over!

I copied all the images for things I have planned for you. Yet, a stroke interrupted my life, my plans

Don’t know if I’ll get to finish.

However long I have, you shall have my heart/my love, beloveds.

I love you. Be encouraged.

loving you for the rest of my life, with the best of my life,

Cassandra
