Grandma is back out of the hospital and comfortably watching TV at home. The caregivers are back on their regular schedule. My father and his brother have had a chance to spend some time with her this weekend and have headed or are heading home.
I'm so amazed at the resiliency and the plasticity of her brain, and her amazing ability to right herself. Each time she has one of these strokes, she seems not only to bounce back but to regain function. Grandpa says that her language is coming back, almost to the level it was before Tuesday.
For a glimpse into how strokes work, and what one might feel like, check out My Stroke of Insight, by Jill Bolte Taylor. (The link is for the youtube video, here is the link to the book.)
