I could not believe the amount of support I received from list members, many
thanks to you all for the kind words. My Dad is home from hospital as of
tonight, although his speech and balance are very badly affected. He is
very upset as he was a very active and proud man, maybe one day he will
overcome everything... I have not had much contact with stroke victims on
the past so cannot tell how things will go.
Daz, as a resource you may want to check with a local visiting nurse service
and find out some tips and skills for caring for your dad while he's at home.
My church has a visiting home health care nurse and part of what she does is
to train families how to care for somebody in their home. I'm sure there is
an agency in your community that could help you out.
It sounds to me like your Dad is doing much better! Good for you, I'm glad
that he is making progress.
George
