I don't look at the Message Boards often but my mum had a stroke when she was 55. We were all devastated, it was a total shock. She lost the use of her right side and speech initially. She did not know who any of us were for a couple of days but gradually it all came back. When the Occupational Therapists visited her home they told my dad she could only come home with a bed downstairs and all kinds of aids and adaptations. I don't know how bad your mum has been or how old she is but the day my mum came home she said she only agreed to everything so she could come home - then dragged herself off upstairs to bed!!! She has never slept downstairs, can walk short distances unaccompanied and takes herself off to the local shop every Friday(very short distance from home). She is now 73 and she and my dad go on holiday, in England, three times a year!! I hope this helps you as a stroke affects the whole family.

mum is doing fine.on wedsnesday we had a meeting with the stroke specialist and the ocupational therapist.they have agreed that mum can come home!! but before she does we have to get a hoist,a hospital bed and a wheelchair. she had her wheelchair fitting today,so that is on the move lol. on tuesday next week the ocupational therapist is visiting dads house to see what we have to do to make life easier for mum. we will have to get a downstairs toilet built as they dont have one at the moment,but that is a minor thing lol. she is so happy that she will be home soon. love you all susiexx
