Dreadful for her family too - I hate, loathe and detest everything about strokes.
My dad had several, my lovely fil had a couple and to see such lovely, lovely men reduced to a shadow of their formers selves, I really really hate the blasted things.
My first husband's parents lived with us for a little while - his dad had had several strokes and was very incapacitated by them. I agree, they are dreadful deadful things
