Stroke

[Aphos]

My mother (95) had a stroke this morning about 5 AM local.  The doctor reported this morning that she was unconscious and non-responsive on the left side.  I just talked to the nurse's station and she has improved a bit.  Semi-conscious and can move her left side, though she favors the right.

  I hope she keeps improving!

Best of luck with a successful recovery, and a few more good years.

Quick recovery and good vibes for her and you.

I hope she does well.

She sounds like one tough cookie to have come through all this at age 95. More power to her!

Not much change this afternoon.

My thoughts are with you and your mother.

Not much change this afternoon.

Sometimes "no change" is the best we can hope for.

Sorry to hear about this, mate.

Things are not looking good.  I talked to her doctor today.  He referred to the stroke as "massive", and thinks there is little chance of recovery.

Right now, we are doing pain management and letting nature take its course.  Tough decision, but I don't see a realistic alternative.
