Acute Treatment for stroke needs to be done as quickly as possible.

Thank you Lady RD!
All of your posts are informative and helpful

Strokes are a varied monster.

My Father had visible effects and rushed to the hospital
Whereupon an hour in the Emergency
He was joking with the staff.

Confusing for his case was rare.

Catscans didn't detect 17 strokes.

Usually strokes affect the right or left side
Of the brain. Ultimately that's where
They were looking to see ... Dad was an anamoly!

17 strokes in one months left him bedridden!
MRI finally ascertained they were hitting him
At the base of the brain.

He was given three months to live...

He lived 5 years and I counted 48 strokes
I'm certain he suffered more.

Diagnosis can go wrong.
I was not in the medical profession
I was his main caregiver.

Particularly after he was given three months.
He wanted to die in his home.

Long story ...short.

His strokes opened the eyes of many
Neurologists, Specialists ...the list is extensive.

I could tell when he was about to have one.
His eyes, his speech would be after he was having one.

We were blessed with our furry family member
Who would in his own way, let me know
He had an infection or if he sat above Dads head,
That a stroke was imminent.

I will come back to watch all the videos you kindly
Posted.

Thank you.
I hope everyone takes the time to watch.

Grateful for your input!

Love and light

Thank you so very much for the reply Lady D. Yes strokes can be very hard to detect and the brain is so complicated to begin with. The medical field of neurology is just touching the edges of why, what and how strokes are caused. It is very unfortunate that some has to suffer so much before it is found out. My cousin was 45 when she had a major stroke (brain hemorrhage) when she past away. She only complained of having a really bad headache, laid down and passed away in her sleep. My grandmother on the other hand had 21 mini-strokes before she had a large encompassing stroke that caused her to be bed ridden until she passed away from heart complications. I'm glad that your dad had a companion that helped detect the oncoming strokes and that he had you to care for him. It's very sad to see a loved one affected by this debilitating condition and we can do nothing about it except try and make them as comfortable and independent as possible. I know doctors make is sound complicated with all their fancy words, but basically a stroke is the rupture of blood vessels in the brain, which can be caused by a variety of reasons. Usually the main one is plaque build up in the vessels which causes blockage and then rupture. I glad to know he was well cared for until the end. My deepest heart felt condolence for your loss even if it was recent it's will always be hard to take. Much love to you Lady D!
