I don't know why I did not think of this before but this morning I did a wild search just to see what would happen put my symptoms in the search engine and lo and behold figure it out what's wrong with my arm. I probably torn the bicep area away from the muscle or the bone somehow or hopefully it's not a real tear maybe it's just a strain a sprain or something like that. The information I was reading was pretty succinct it's definitely what I've got going. And I've had this before I know and I've always seemed to cure from it I guess it's taking a long time but I think eventually this will cure itself as well but since I supposedly have some interface with some medical folks in the next couple days I want to bring this up to them as well and maybe they can have an assist with some options for me or at least give me some direction how how to take care of myself during this period of time. One of the big challenges I am dealing with is having to go on with my life when I do so much with my left arm. Right now I'm having the closely guard what I do and how I lift and all that kind of stuff particularly like getting up in the morning and transferring into the power chair. And actually this is how the whole thing started was with the power chair or lack thereof when I had to go to my backup chair and put in a lot of stress on my arm trying to keep myself up right in the chair and doing everything else I had to do to maintain myself in the chair that's when I first realized that something was going on in my left side. Came out pretty fast once I damaged that area. For what I can tell the most effective cure is just rest they even talked about putting the arm in a sling and doing the old hot and cold thing which I could do. I am trying to favor the arms as much as I can through the day and what time up I'm okay but I'm still quite Limited what I can do. I can dress myself to limits usually not being able to do up my shorts but hopefully I'll have shirts long enough to hide my undone pants and hopefully have enough tail on them to hide any obesity in the back. One other thing is that Melissa reacted to my face this morning and Mark or one of the kids I can't remember this weekend also remarked about my face. Belinda indicated that she thought that I might be having a mini stroke. How many stroke is all I would need or a major stroke for the rest of my life. My next big challenge now I was going to be going to and from my assignment at assist tomorrow morning. I call Andreas this morning as I usually do on Mondays and he indicated that indeed there would be a meeting in the morning and I would be welcome to come. I hope I'll make it I hope the chair makes it I think it will I don't see why it wouldn't it might be close coming back but once I'm back I'll be inbound for the rest of the week I'm sure. The weather doesn't look that great so that's good as well just hunker down in my apartment and enjoy the heck out of it

If you even suspect a stroke, you should get yourself checked out. Many of the effects of the stroke and can be reversed if it is dealt with quickly enough! Do not wait!
