Hey all,
My Dad had a stroke last night and right now is in the hospital for observation. Hopefully will be released here in a few hours or by the morning. He is also a diabetic and 64 years old. They said it did not 100 percent contribute to it, but he does smoke and is addicted to taking Goody Powder's(They are a pain relief powder and are almost like crushed up aspirin). So he needs to quit those now, but will be hard as been taking them for over 30 years.
His memory is better than it was last night, but still confused over stuff he should know(I.e. his wedding anniversary, pin code to unlock his phone, etc).
For those who have dealt with a stroke themselves before and/or someone in their family has before, what's the best thing I and my brother can do, to help my Dad move forward. My step-mom I am sure will do fine with him, but what can we do to help her?
He is very stubborn and getting him to stop smoking(Which he has been doing for over 40 years) and the GP's will be extremely hard to do.
Thank you!
