Nial Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 The sister of one of my friend's wife had a serious stroke a few months ago, she's 40. She initially almost completely lost the use of one side of her body, she's learning to walk again but it's a long slow process. You never know what's round the corner, this girl was slim and fit.

rimfire4969 Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Perrmision granted. I good friend of my Dads had a stroke about 6 months ago, first of all no movement down his left sidebut he slowly got better and better. I am very pleased to say he is back to just about how he was before, he is even playing golf again. He may have be a lucky one, but there is always hope.

Spaniel Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Many years ago now my Gran lost her speech and use of her right side, but believe me that never stopped her from making sure my grandad knew what she wanted....funny thing that when she swore you could make those words out perfect..... Not a good thing but life still goes on just give your friend as much support as possible and hopefully he will make a good recovery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Master Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Chap at my shooting club had one this time last year. He's back shooting better than ever. FM :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smig4373 Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Thoughts are with you and prayers for your friend to make a full recovery....Hang in there mate.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malkiserow Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 As said earlier some people can recover quite a lot. Things might pick up well. Not sure if it might make you feel better but it could be worse.... A mate just lost his wife aged 38 leaving him and their 6 year old daughter. To say it has changed their lives is such a massive understatement. From getting of her horse saying " I don't feel quite right" to passing away was 48 hours.

Paddy Galore! Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 i'm really sorry to hear about your friend. there may be some hope, lots of people recover [if not fully] to some degree. its surprising what the brain can cope with and adapt to. i had a stroke last year while having heart surgery, having friends and family around really did help. i'm almost back to normal, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
