I was lucky. Just a blockage that only cost me some eyesight.
Coincidentally, my father had a hemorrhagic stroke 4 years ago that fortunately only cost him some eyesight too. But was still several weeks in rehab to get his coordination back. Persistent therapist who wouldn’t take NO for an answer.
One of them told him that she had been called everything in the book before, so nothing he could say was going to phase her or stop her from doing her job. I give the staff a lot of credit for giving him back to us.
Good luck to your friend. It’s got to rough.
Thanks.
