[PGR88]

sounds like an embolic stroke with global aphasia. My mom had the same thing.

Prayers for one of Hockey’s greats!

In a stroke, it depends on which side is effected. Speech resides on a specific area of the brain...if that side is the stroke side, speech is lost but much can be regained through speech therapy....I worked on a rehab unit in the hospital several decades ago. Can't remember which side speech is on....that was back in the 80’s...
