How a person is affected by their stroke depends on where the stroke occurs in the brain and how much the brain is damaged. For example, someone who had a small stroke may only have minor problems such as temporary weakness of an arm or leg. People who have larger strokes may be permanently paralyzed on one side of their body or lose their ability to speak.
Recovering from stroke varies with each individual because every stroke is different. One of the questions you will keep asking yourself is, “How long will it take for him/her to recover?” The answer is always, “I don’t know.” You might be thinking the doctors, nurses and therapists are trying to hide something from you because they are so evasive. But because we've met many stroke survivors, and although there were some similarities in the way the stroke affected them, there were differences in each one of them, which resulted in variables in their recovery process too
Being extremely tired while recovering from his stroke is quite common in stroke survivors; and you should not be alarmed if your loved one is experiencing the same thing. Their injured brain needs sleep to heal.
The process of healing and rehabilitation depends on the area of the brain affected as well as the extent of the damage. The human brain is an extraordinary organ and continues to mend and renew throughout the weeks, months and years to come. The initial effects can be frightening but it’s important to remember that the recovery is often gradual and with the help of our recovery therapy, patient can achieve full recovery faster. So don’t panic, you are not alone.
The effects of a stroke are greatest immediately after the stroke occurs. From then on, the speed and pace for recovering from stroke depends on the extent of the brain injury, the success of rehabilitation and the determination of the stroke survivor. With good recovery therapy, the most improvement in recovery is made within months after the stroke, so time is of the essence.
