Blood will Flow

It's great that he's sitting up out of bed already! My mum had the clot stroke around 6 years ago now and she wasn't out of bed for nearly a week. Her speech was affected too and it takes time but I'm sure you'll see an improvement every day, especially when the physiotherapists start working with him, he should get a speech therapist too. In the mean time, I hope you can persuade him to make sure someone is around to be his dance partner so he doesn't fall and hit his head again doing the tango!

Mum was in Telford and although we very rarely saw a doctor they had excellent' teams' of stroke specialists all working together who could answer most questions honestly, but time is a huge factor in these things, patients react in such different ways depending on their own health, support and determination.

All the best to you.
