As some of you will remember, my daughter was hospitalized with a stroke 4 days ago. I thank you for all your warm thoughts and kind words, and wanted to update that she is back home now. She only had mild covid symptoms but she had a stroke, and is having a hard time talking/communicating. They say this will get better the more she talks, writes, types, etc. Kind of like rebooting the brain. She's only 39, and was in absolute perfect health. Has anyone else heard of this happening to other covid sufferers?

I am sorry to hear the awful details, but happy for both of you that she's home and on the mend. I don't know about strokes linked with Covid, but I've had several family members make full amazing stroke recoveries. Our brains are wonderful creations, and can be rewired after a mild stroke. Practice, practice, practice! She can do it!

I guess like many people, I just thought it hit predominantly older people like my husband and I, or others that had preexisting conditions. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought my daughter would get it. Or that the repercussions of it could be so hard on the young. And again, thank you for being so kind, and I pray that all of you remain healthy!

On the New York news tonight there was mention of four relatively young covid 19 sufferers who had strokes - all were in the low risk category. Apparently in some individuals it causes clotting and potential strokes. Another patient had a leg amputated because of blood clots and remains in a coma. A 5 month old infant also died of covid 19. It appears that this virus has many ways of expressing itself.

I’m so sorry to read this happened to your daughter! Omg! Yes I’ve heard multiple times now about how Covid seems to be causing clots. I hope she recovers ASAP.!

It hits everyone it doesn't just hit certain age groups.

She will definitely make a lot of progress in the next few months. Just keep her brain active and keep trying. She may get frustrated a lot because she was perfectly healthy and now it's like almost like learning everything all over again. Many blessings to her and your family.

I did a poster for a wedding for an older couple that loved dogs. They specifically wanted all elderly dogs in shelters on it with profiles of each dog to encourage their guests to adopt. They had also arranged with the shelter to bring a few of the dogs "as guests" to their wedding....it felt a little heavy handed and I did not enjoy doing it. Especially since they also had me design a box and "ballots" for people to fill out to adopt. It felt like they were guilting their guests into adopting and I wasnt even at the wedding lol. We personally chose not to get a puppy when we adopted...but she's not a senior dog. Honestly when you adopt or buy you are setting yourself up for outliving that animal and heartache. I guess people like to think of it otherwise.

Falling in love ends in heartache of one kind or another, too. That's no reason not to do it!
