Thank you all. I was unable to get on yesterday so am sorry for my late response. The shock of a stroke is phenomenal, not only to the survivor, but also to the caretakers. Unfortunately, the prime caretaker, my Dad is now having trouble and is refusing all assistance. I am hoping that this situation will resolve and I can contact you back in a couple of days. He needs help but won’t accept.
Stubborness runs in our family. The nurses said that they thought my mother’s stubborness will be what saves her. (i.e., I will not let this beat me...). I am worried about my Dad’s stubborness affecting both of their health.
I hope that I can get back to you Cal and Kathie, and thanks Cassie and Gracie for your posts and encouragement. It may take a few days to get my Dad to accept the help he needs.
