Common to all the people who have had a stroke is that from that moment their lives in some way will always be different than it was before the stroke. For most of the family member must also experience the painful adjustment to this life change. No member of the family and no friends able to escape from this monster paralyzing. Let us remember, however, 'that the degree of recovery is proportional to the amount of support that family and friends can give, so once you have established that the risk of life is gone, beware of statements of persons ( Usually doctors) when they say that there was no recovery after a while 'time. Recovery continues for years and sometimes for life. Usually occurs more rapidly during the early years, but rarely stops. The brain continues to form new nerve pathways as if they heal, and then there will be a time when the recovery is longer and another in which this slows down recovery.
If you are facing a situation where your family was hit by a stroke, it is very important to understand that in most cases nobody (not even the doctor with more experience) can really predict how long it will take to recover from stroke. No matter what you were told, the recovery from stroke is very unpredictable and varies for each individual. Try to take one day at a time. Rejoice for every little progress, and know that there is always room for hope. Often the experts, while knowing very well their job, will tell you about the statistics, but remember that their ability to understand the complexity of the brain does not necessarily extend to the emotional needs of their patients and their family. We are complicated! Moreover, there is no need to scare someone by repeating the statistics of the average recoveries or the possibility of having a second stroke. As previously stated, each stroke is different and certainly do not want to be thrown into the pile called "media".
