One day a few years ago something commenced that changed my life. In a way it had nothing to do with me, but at the same time it had everything to do with me. My grandma had started acting strange and my mom took her to the doctor. After they did a lot of tests they looked at her for a while they found out that she had had a stroke that had affected the left side of her brain and the right side of her body. She was in the hospital for months and when she got out there was a lot of work and therapy for her to do to even begin to get some of the normalness back. When all of this happened I was just 7 years old and couldn’t completely decipher everything that was going on but I knew something was wrong and somehow the person that she was before was probably never going to be there again. At first I thought she was just going to have to go through a couple sessions of therapy then she would be the same again and we would go back to playing all the games we used to. I never expected that things would be the way they are now. She lost all movement in her right side, which meant she couldn’t move her right arm or leg. She had to learn how to walk again and has to have a cane and wear special shoes for the brace that she has to put on her leg to keep her foot straight when she walks.
This was a huge challenge for me to learn that most of the things she did before and did with me she couldn’t do anymore. One of the hardest parts of this was when she had to learn how to talk again. In the beginning no one could really understand what she was saying but the more she tried the better she got at it and eventually re-learned how to say things correctly and clearly just like before. Sometimes she can’t get out what she’s trying to say completely on the first try and isn’t that fluent but she still manages to get it through to us what she wants even if that means resorting to her favorite pastime, yelling and fussing. Our entire family has had to make adjustments to what we do and when we do things because of all this but everything has turned out to be okay. We’ve all learned that sometimes things just don’t turn out we way we want them to and we just have to deal with that because this is what we’ve been given and we can’t change it. Even though we have our times when we just want it all to go away, we know that because of this we’ve all had to open up to a lot of different responsibilities that I think have changed us all for the better.
