problems starting Tuesday night

Last night my mom had a stroke. It appeared minor with just slurred speach. but this morning she has no feeling in her left side and still is slurring her speach. (she hasn't lost her sense of humor though). She seems to be just sleeping. Jerry and I tried to get her up into the bathroom but she couldn't get her feet working right so it seems that she is bed ridden or will have to be moved in a wheel chair for now.

This could go either way - from one extreme to the other. She could completely recover from it or she could have another one and die. Her dr says that I could take her to the emergency room and they would do and MRI and the way to address it would be to give her blood thinners. But she said the tumor would start to bleed. She said the other option is to do nothing So I guess that is what we are doing.

Hospice comes tomorrow for an evaluation. One thing we all need to remember is that if this is how she goes it is way better than the pain she will experience from the cancer. It is in many ways the easier way out. She is peaceful and sleeping. She seems to realize that her left side isn't working and she is lucid. she isn't in any pain. So in a way, it doesn't seem so bad, does it?
