About Me: Male, 30, Ireland, member since Jan 2008
I'm 28 and my Dad (who is 70) got a ischemic stroke on the right side on Jan 24th. Its a truly life changing experience. He's gone from being a fully able bodied, working man to requiring full time nursing care. He has improved somewhat (mainly physically) but his menta ... [More] l faculties are very limited. It's like the "hard drive" got wiped and he has to start all over again. There are times when his recognition comes back briefly but its slow, tough going. He can be very agitated - pulling and dragging at his clothes,the bed or anything within reach. This comes and goes.Physically he's quite strong, can walk, swallow and use his arms etc. It's going to be a long slow recovery but with patience I hope we can get to a point where we can care for him at home.

Thanks for reading this. [Less]
