Question: My dad had a mini stroke yesterday, don't know what to do!?
My dad is partially disabled after having a cyst on his spine, that keeps refilling and he has had 3 operations he has always been an active fit person, but he never lost his mind, yesterday he has had a stroke and he is not the same, obviously i guess i want to know what the future possibly holds for him, quality of life and stuff!. He is very determined and strong willed, but he is so confused, he knows who we are but just has this look of confusion on his face the whole and keeps getting his worsd muddled, i am feeling so sad, can he come back from this!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Immediately he is likely to be in a confused state- the stroke is a clot that puts excessive pressure on the brain!.
It can depend on how bad the stroke was and also his strength of mind/character but a recovery can be made!.
Maybe not 100% but it will take time!.

Yes it's possible, but it takes time and hard brain work!. Where the stroke was located, can make a difference too!. It has taken me a few years, but I'm almost back to my old self cognitively!. I have had, due to a clotting autoimmune disease, 2 strokes and 2 TIAs!. Be patient with him and please be careful to not treat him as if he were a child!. Just encourage him and let him know that you love him and will help as you are able!.
Good luck to you both!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

to some degree, yes he can come back from it, with the hospitals and you and your families help!. Its a hell of a thing that he has been through and will go through, but if you are all strong and the hospital does their job then you should all get through it ok!. Good Luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
