returns that spoke hopefully of actual treatment. My focus now is on finding someone who uses TMS to help repair the brain.
Prognosis depends on traing and philosophy of the providers.
We are waiting for my mom to recover so I can FINALLY leave home but I just don't think she will because the stroke screwed her up permanently
She will probably die soon
He went to rehab and speech therapy. He was never the same after his stroke.
Sadly Whitney's mom passed, Dec 8.
RIP. Mrs. Babs
my hubby had brain stem stroke. Docs said rare type of stroke and he was lucky to be even alive.
I never did like the word “recovery”. My head translates recovery as return to prior of event. Short of God touching hubby recovery not going to happen here.
I think the hand/foot analogy is the best description I have ever heard how the brain compensates from stroke damage. I will use it in the future.
Her mom will never "fully recover" as you can tell if you watch the show and have seen her progress. While she has made great strides in her recovery, she will never be back to the way she was, that much is quite obvious.
My late husband had a massive stroke at the age of 48, and was never the same again, and that was despite lots of PT, OT and speech therapy. He lost his ability to to walk, talk, read and write, and was paralyzed on his right side, but thankfully because of his young age, did learn how to walk again with the help of a leg brace, and regained very limited speech, but never could read or write(other than print his name)and never regained use of his right arm/hand.
He was 72 when he died in Sept. 2020 of vascular dementia.
And that unfortunately is something that "Babs" may have to deal with also in the future, as folks that have had a stroke are at much higher risk of developing dementia.
Whitney is doing today but I couldn't remember her name to google it.
Given that my mom's silent strokes came up to bite her on the azz in the form of dementia I think that even when there appears to be a complete recovery there will be damage left behind.
A: Recovery time after a stroke is different for everyone—it can take weeks, months, or even years. Some people recover fully, but others have long-term or lifelong disabilities.
It also depends on what type of stroke Babs had, a "red" or a "white" stroke.

What percentage of stroke patients make a full recovery?
With the right amount of rehabilitation, a person's speech, cognitive, motor and sensory skills can steadily be recovered. Although just 10% of people fully recover from a stroke, 25% have only minor impairments and 40% have moderate impairments that are manageable with some special care.
Q: Can you survive multiple strokes?
A: After five years, 72.1 percent passed, and at 7 years, 76.5 percent of survivors died. The study found that those who had multiple strokes had a higher mortality rate than those who suffered from other health issues, like cardiovascular disease.
Then the second stroke happened. He’s back to being about a 2.
