Hi folks, I'm 65 and new to internet groups and technology in general, butwould like to get to know you and how youdeal with your megaproblems. I had a cerebral hemorrhage from vessell in pons in 2007 and am lucky to be able to live at home with no caretaker. But family med doc and neurolgist say there is little they can do for sequellae of brain stem injury, so one never knows who to talk to about subtle deterioration.I fear if I go to hospital i'll get trapped by the system and tossed back into a nursing home. BEEN THERE- DONE THAT.
