Even though I don't remember all the "40 things" I remember enough that it was my biggest take away from the book - if I ever needed it, I know where to go to get that information. So I am glad I was able to pass on that information. <br /><br />Now I wonder when you read Left Neglected if you'd be able to read it from a different perspective...christa @ mental foodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06272799752169958460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787660033880172725.post-23586568556638642582011-03-20T19:04:41.241-03:002011-03-20T19:04:41.241-03:00I am so glad to hear that your brother has started...I am so glad to hear that your brother has started moving his right side. Hang in there - he will get through this.<br /><br />I totally appreciate the Appendix items that you shared. That is so important. I hate it when people over-coddle victims of any nature, and also when they try to pretend nothing happened, which is even worse.Athirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03366654538383603004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787660033880172725.post-86451064375268386112011-03-20T18:40:29.502-03:002011-03-20T18:40:29.502-03:00Kathy, some parts were very hard to read and made ...Kathy, some parts were very hard to read and made me emotional.Marcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10136238772526246675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787660033880172725.post-37664070499351040612011-03-20T16:59:11.577-03:002011-03-20T16:59:11.577-03:00Wow, that made me teary eyed.

My brother may get the breathing tube taking out next week and I am hoping for him to be able to speak.<br /><br />My thoughts are with you and your dad, it is a forever new journey of life isn't it.<br /><br />I also have Left Neglected, I loved Still Alice and had this one before my brothers stroke, I definitely will read soon.Marcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10136238772526246675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787660033880172725.post-73913634143798672072011-03-20T16:11:04.930-03:002011-03-20T16:11:04.930-03:00my stepdad (at 55) had a stroke two years ago. he ...my stepdad (at 55) had a stroke two years ago. he had a hemicraniectomy and was put in a medically induced coma for awhile. these days he is doing much better but is he is still paraylzed (almost completely, has slight ability to move his hip) and needs somebody around almost all the time. another book I found very helpful was Left Neglected by Lisa Genova, although it is a brain injury due to a car accident and not a stroke, the implications for a person who has lost "sight" of one side of their world as often happens in a stroke (for my stepdad it was also the left side) was very true to life and helpful to read about. everything I discussed with him he said she got perfectly. also when he was recovering he read both this book and "the brain that changes itself" so that may be another one for you to look into if you are interesting. <br /><br />when my stepfather was first taken out of his coma he didn't talk either and we were worried. however the breathing machine really irritates the throat and a few days later he began to speak softly so that may be the case with your brother as well. I hope you continue to see improvement in him.Zoëhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05485997747361791052noreply@blogger.com
