GUEST

Both my aunt and my mom (sisters) had strokes. My mom didn't 'fight' it during the recovery. She became very dependent. My aunt did 'fight' it. She is lively, with it, plays bridge, drives, etc., and sh is 72. My mom died seven years after her stroke. My aunt's was more severe.

I wish I had an answer for you. I think open mike has given you excellent advice. I am going to look tomorrow for some internet sites that can offer support from other people who are living with/caring for folks who have had strokes. I will post what I find here. I don't doubt you will be hearing from other 'catters, too.

RAPTOR,

I do apologize to you. I had not seen this thread before today. Although I don't have much in the way of info to share, I would have offered whatever support I could. Sorry. I hope your mom's doing lots better, and I pray you are doing well, too.
