My husband had a stroke that threw him to the floor. He couldn’t speak and was paralyzed. The paralysis went away real soon, his speech came back in a few hours while he was still in the er, and an uneasiness was there until the next day. They said a blood clot passed right through his brain and left no damage, They put him on Plavix to thin his blood but he had another stroke two years later. It was terrible and he should have died. He lost his speech and is paralyzed on his right side, but he stays in a good mood and has accomplished some pretty amazing things. His mind is as good as ever and that was 7 years ago. We have been told that is they had given him cumadin instead of Plavix he may never had this last one. She may end up being just fine. I hope and pray that she will. Good luck, Ed and Karen
God bless
Can you elaborate on the cumadin over plavix please ?
When my dad had a stroke of that type, his greatest frustration was his inability to speak. These days, there are a number of aps, some of them free, that have drawings keyed to a voice. You press the button with the picture of a hand, and the ap says “HI”, etc. Some also have recording ability so you can have somebody put some choice expressions on some of the buttons.
