It seems not (after looking it up) - the doctors said it was a stroke with “large bleeding”. They are now talking “days, weeks, months” for rehab - which he’d never want and, I doubt, would ever really recover from to a livable state.

It’s too early to give up. The rehab will frustrate and anger him, but be patient and understanding. People can come a long way back with time and effort.

I have been told that after a stroke, the undamaged parts of the brain can pick up the functions that got lost by the stroke. That is what rehabilitation will work on.

My prayers for a complete healing and recovery for your father.

“which he’d never want”

My mom got to the point where she would have to use a bedpan and at that point she told us she was checking out. She passed 3 hours later.

If we behave we will see them again!

Prayers up.
