Even though her interior carotid artery had collapsed and she had lost control of one side of her body, she made a remarkable recovery given the seriousness of her stroke. She is now back to driving, gardening and horseback ridding, and mentally, she has fully recovered as far as I can tell. Point is: My family has dealt with this recently in the state of Georgia and if you need any help, you have my email. Otherwise, my thoughts are with you. It's a hard thing.

You're a good son to spend so much time there with him. And thanks for the stroke link. Recently my grandma in Louisiana had been having a lot of memory loss, and it came on kind of suddenly. She feared it was the onset of Alzheimers, and got a brain scan, and they realized that she had, indeed, suffered a very mild stroke and didn't even know it. Now she and those around her know the things to look out for in the future. Again, sorry about your Pa. You’re a good son to spend so much time there with him.
