stooie1971: It depends on how bad the scarring is to the Brain!
My mother had a stroke 2 years ago.. apparently in the worst possible area of the Brain... she was home after four days, she was able to talk and walk... you would never have known... I drove six hours after my sister called me... we expected the worst..
However my Grandmother is still in a Coma from a stoke after 8 years.... her heart is too strong.... she is not on life support... she just sleeps
Like I mentioned to you earlier... don't make this personal... do the right thing send flowers... and leave it at that...
It goe's to show that you are a very kind and considerate and caring person.
Thats right.. there are a few different types of strokes too..
I've looked after people that had a could of little ones in the morning..
are every so slightly slurred and a TEENY bit confused for a few hours.. and almost back to normal again later that day.
Then others who will have a full on WHAMMY of a stroke... and lose the ability (sometimes temporary) of speech.. the use of one side of their body.. bowel/urine incontinence.. staring into space. No idea who's who. Can't walk.. dress.. feed.. anything.
Some make a slow but gradual recovery.. some never improve much.
But thats minor to extreme.. and everywhere in between..
really.. it just depends on what kind of stroke he had and the severity of it.
