Good Saturday mornin friends!
Dean here to give an update on what happened over the last week.
First we want let everyone know how grateful we are for outpouring of support, thoughts, prayers, and offers of help.
Eric Haslun , and Todd Del Marter got supers on the bees here in NY and Frankie Pridgen is taking care of the bees in NC. They were my biggest concern, and I guided Elene through a couple phone calls to the right people!
The love and support was felt at every turn and update.
Last Tuesday mornin I was struck by a brain bleed while getting ready for work.
The scariest and most painful thing I've ever had happen to me. Although I don't remember anything till waking Wednesday morning in the Albany Med, Zach came up to talk me into going in the ambulance.
This week has been full of monitoring, testing, and regulating pain. I'm also dealing with a severe case of double vision, which they say can take up to six weeks to fix itself......This doesn't make walking or texting easy, and driving an impossibility.
They kicked me out of the hospital Thursday, that night being one of the most uncomfortable with pain. There was a big improvement last night!
MRI and CTIscans show the bleeding has stopped and is slowly draining as it should. Now its a wait and see till things get back to normal .
As I mentioned, the outpouring of support was felt every minute. There were tears shed every evening in the hospital as the reports came in from of the messages from the day!
Ive got the greatest friends and family!!
