Sorry to hear about it, sounds the same as my old man 5 years ago. With stroke patients you do not look for progress day to day but month to month. My old man could not sit up in a bed afterwards without falling over. Previous day he was spreading sand through the yard in the middle of July. Today he walks with a cane. Slipped about 8 weeks ago while getting something out of the fridge at 3:00 in the morning an broke his hip but he is recovering once again slowly. He will get better just give it time.

The important thing for all you old farts is get your caradic arteries checked via ultrasound for $385. Best money you will ever spend, do not trust some doctor with a stethoscope. My old man went to the doctor 2 times a year, a fanatic about eating right and exercising. Never had the arteries checked and pop. One had probably been plugged 20 years.

Note the warning signs if you fall over for no reason, as he did the night before the stroke and thought nothing, warning #1. He sat down in the lazy boy at 9:00am and woke up at 3:00pm after sleeping all night, warning #2. Then bang stroke latter that night.

Do not mean to hijack the thread but I had no idea what a stroke was before my old man, now I am an expert.

We are thinking of you!!
