February 11, 2023: I’m feeling really down today. Looks like this bout with chickenpox is behind me and they’re going to release me from #PeaceArchHospital tomorrow or Monday, but I feel like nothing has been done for why I was admitted to begin with: my stroke.
Overall, I’ve felt zero improvement with the areas that have been bothering me: it feels like my upper right arm has a blood pressure cuff tightened around it constantly, and my lower right arm is tingling. My upper right chest and back is also tight, difficult to move. My right leg is tingling still too with feeling gone to some touch, as is my arm. It’s been twelve days now almost like this, maybe the rest of my life. Why didn’t I come in sooner? Fuck.
Today would have also been my Dad’s 99th birthday had he not passed in 2004. Happy birthday Dad. I miss you so much.
42/365.
