My son had a massive stroke at the age of 44, caused by a blood clot and had part of his skull removed to relieve pressure on his brain which was swelling rapidly. This was nearly five months ago. He has had a call from the hospital which carried out this procedure with regard to inserting a titanium plate and this has put the fear of God into him regarding the risks. Are there stroke survivors out there who have had this procedure who can discuss their experiences?

@paulette welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear about your son’s stroke. Must be very difficult for you.
There may be someone on here who xan grlp but if not there is a facebook group called Different Strokes which your son may want to join. I know there are some people in that group that have had that operation & they would be able to offer support & advice.
Wishing you both all the best.

Different Strokes is a UK stroke charity providing a unique service to younger stroke survivors. Might be worth a look.
