@christine2 sorry to hear you’re feeling emotional. It’s really common to be like that. I always feel like I can burst into tears over nothing in particular. Hope the tooth isn’t causing you any pain.
Take care & hope you feel better soon xxx

Sorry to hear that @christine2, I think your reaction is totally rational, it’s really tough having other challenges and problems thrown into the mix of post stroke. It’s not something us stroke survivors need as we tackle everything else we must deal with. I hope the dentist can resolve the issue at a reasonable price.

Oh Christine, this does happen I’m afraid. Everything post stroke is very testing and we can get frustrated over the simplest things. Try to relax more and take short rests during the day. Talk to your gp if you feel things are getting out of control. Counselling may help.

Thank you all for your kind words and reassurance . Feeling better now and hubby took me out for a cream tea this afternoon . My tooth isn’t giving me pain atm so I’m grateful for that . Hopefully the dentist will sort me out next week .

I had my stroke in April and thought i was doing so well , i went back to work after being off since my stroke and yesterday went to the supermarket on my lunch as i was getting to my car my right leg lost all feeling resulting on me falling with the worst fall im black and blue all over , i returned to work and didnt mention it as my employer was trying to pay me off saying im not fit to work , sat there in agony came home that night and burst into tears , life is cruel at time but we shake it off and face another day xx

Considering what has happened to you Bonnie was pleased you could end your post on positive note. It’s a tough journey ahead for all of us but things do get better.
