Thanks everyone, the results of the scan indicate that Allan has had a ischemic(?) stroke, probably from a blood clot. I will find out more today, when I speak to the doctor. He has still not received as much as an asprin, which I thought they would give him to thin his blood, but then I am not a doctor. His spirits continue to be high and we had a good laugh yesterday. I bought him some foot massage cream guaranteed to put a spring in his step! So i'll try that out today and let you know the outcome ;-)
I am also monitoring the positioning of his arms and legs and have become a bit of a nag, but Allan doesn't seem to mind too much..........yet.
Thanks again
love
