It's hugely stressful for most strokes patients .. & my mother was like that at the beginning ..but then the other strokes kicked in and she will never rise from her bed - but her brain has the power now .. & she keeps herself overly busy. We at least can communicate & that's a huge blessing .. thanks for your thoughts ..<BR/><BR/>All the best - Hilary: Be Positive Be HappyHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-82950481201535904792009-02-03T12:20:00.000+00:002009-02-03T12:20:00.000+00:00This letter reminded me of what it took my grandmo...This letter reminded me of what it took my grandmother after a stroke to get walking and talking again. It was a huge struggle, since she, as a lot of other people who find themselves in the same situation, focused on the state she was in, on the current situation. But it wasn't until she started shifting her thinking, believing she can get better and noticing other things around her that she started recovering and getting better. It took her a long time to start swallowing again, after that talking and then everything else. She was tough...and so are you and your mother. I admire you for being so strong and being there by her side at all times. <BR/>Take care!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
