[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 680406, member: 11791"] It will come. One of my relatives lost his right side to stroke. So, not the speech impact. But other impacts. This was decades ago, before current rehab approaches. He was sent home in a wheelchair. Family advised to just put him in a nursing home. His wife was "mean" (not - but for a few years people thought she was). Wouldn't do things for him until he had exhausted himself trying. It took a few years. He got so he could: walk, drive, write with his left hand (he had been right handed), carry things with his right arm (like a briefcase or suitcase), dress himself, personal care including shaving... [I]and every one of these things "they" said he would "never" be able to do[/I]. Remember... this is without modern rehab. DIY approach. And it was amazing. Patience. [/QUOTE]
