So sad
My mother had several strokes just last year, She only had ill effects on the last one (amazing how science can tell someone afterwards that they'd already had so many (blows ones mind)) anyways the last stroke she suffered made her paralised down one side and especially from her waist down, She lived on her own then and lay on the living room floor until my bro went to visit so she had been lying there for around 14hrs or so, When i went up right away she was sure she had what we call over here in the uk a dead-leg, But knowing how she couldn't move etc i called the doctors and within an hour she was in hospital, After a day of tests and not knowing what was what we were told it was a series of strokes she had had
Luckily it was the less severe short lasting type (all latin mumbo jumbo over here so i don't remember the correct term) in essence with medicine she is back to a slower version of herself but all functions have returned but she does get tired easily and maybe sometimes wobbles on her legs
We are praying here that maybe dave could be blessed (how rotten a way to describe it but i can't think of a better way) with the lesser type of stroke that can pass with minimal effects
Just glad someone was there
Really our thoughts go out for you dave
Ahh dang so sad, But hang in there and fight
