<P>ohliz, best wishes for you and your father.<P>My family has a history of strokes and I have, because of that, dealt with several over the years. If it was a clot I hope he was able to get the clot buster shot quickly since that can make a big difference in recovery and regaining abilities and minimizing the damage the stroke can do.<BR>From my past experiences the abilities your father gains back in the first 3 to 6 months will determine what will be recovered overall.<BR>If he works hard in the beginning it can make a huge overall difference in his independence going forward.<P>I guess I sound kind of clinical but I have dealt with strokes soooo much family wise.<P>Best wishes, good vibes and remain strong!
