Just been told that my Mum is in Hospital following a stroke . Her front door was kicked in to get to her .
All i know is shes talking but confused and going for scans .
I'm sorry to hear this, but it is a good sign that she is talking already. You've probably already been told that lots of people make very good recoveries from strokes, and so long as she gets into specialist treatment ASAP, I wouldn't be surprised if in a couple of years you are unable to detect any difference in her from how she was before.
My father in law had a stroke a couple or 3 years ago, and the only noticeable long term effect is that he is less of a cantankerous old bastard than he was, and he sleeps more during the day. It was a pretty serious stroke which left him unable to speak, use his left side at all, and he couldn't walk for months.
