It's been awhile, I know, since I posted here.
Well, the "news" is only that my participation in the Study of Modified Stem Cells for Ischemic stroke survivors has ended. I'm relieved because the 6-hour drive every few months was so tiring for both hubby and I.
However, there are a few participants yet to complete their one-year term in the study. I've been told to expect hearing results by January or February, 2019. That is when I will learn whether or not I received the stem cells; though my guess is that I did not, based on the fact that I've seen no improvement in my motor functions.
I've been told also, that, if I was not a recipient in this phase, then I may qualify to receive them for certain in the next phase. Hubby is super excited about that; I'm not yet sure how I feel about it.
I still continue with my fatigue and some depression over my loss of independence, but otherwise, I feel fairly well.
I've no idea when (or if) I will post again but, if I do, it most likely won't be until next year.
Good-bye for now...thanks for stopping by.
Prayers & blessing, I feel your pain as a stroke survivor, myself-I know that I would be crushed...Try to keep strong!
