My father has spent the past 4 weeks in the hospital. First in Madigan, then in Good Sam in Puyallup with a stroke (possibly two). For those of you who are following such things, it was his left posterior cerebral artery. Could’ve been worse, but this was still a major stroke. There are still long lasting effects (namely aphasia, and difficulty counting money), but he has come a long way. He can now walk without a walker. He can go up and down stairs. Even there is aphasia, he can still talk, and his snarkiness is still there.
For safety reasons, he’ll need to be supervised 24/7 so he’ll be staying at my younger sisters for now. When the time is right, he’ll go back home to Grandma.
Things may never be the same again, but they’ll be alright.
