I’ve been fed up with the constant negativity from medical staff (us humans also need positivity and hope) since my mum hit the 3-month ‘mark’ at hospital (massive stroke in February). I’ve been searching YouTube for more info about how we as a family can support her ongoing recovery post-discharge.
This video is interesting - it’s about the months of recovery following the first few weeks (I was been told repeatedly it wasn’t looking good for my mum, then she started to rally after repeated set backs).
I appreciate it’s important to manage family members’ expectations but where there’s a chance there’s hope. And we need to pass that on to the patient to bolster their morale. So I was grateful to find this…although I’m not keen on the very YouTubey title of the video (all rather dramatic).
