Hi @Lily3
Welcome to the forum. Very sorry you had cause to join us.
It’s impossible for us to say what will happen in any one specific base but the norm is that with effort and time there is recovery. It’s possible that there will be personality changes, entirely likely there will be emotional changes but if your mum has already been besting other health challenges she may well be equal to the increment.
Queen Square has one of the best replications in the country so 'you’re lucky’ in that respect. Some previously written what posts that might help you are these three : This first one because it plots over some time a journey that will have some similarities for you
the 2nd because it’s written from the point of view of the survivor
40 things to know - General - Stroke Association Online Community and the 3rd because it is our collected thoughts often shared when people join Welcome - what we wish we'd heard at the start - Community - Stroke Association Online Community
The more you read the more you’ll get an understanding
Ciao
Simon
