Re: Oldbugger
So sorry to hear about Jim Sue. It is very early days and I know quite often a good recovery can be made after a stroke, but it does take time. Keep your spirits up and be positive. My sister had a very dense stroke about 12 weeks ago, but she has recently come home and is making good progress. I hope it will be something similar for your Jim. Best wishes to you and Jim and hopefully your grandchild has arrived safely. My thoughts are with Jim, yourself and your new grandchild and mum.

Re: Oldbugger
Hello all,I am delighted to announce that firstly at 2:15AM on Sunday 19th our granddaughter was born and secondly, this morning Jim came round!
He is still attached to all sorts of machines (although thankfully no longer any breathing aids) but has regained consciousness and was able to speak.
Although it is very early days, there doesn't seem to be any lasting physical effects, however I immediately noticed that Jim's speech was - although delivered correctly - not as fluent as usual and he had trouble placing words etc...
I'm trying not to dwell on that too much at this moment though as both the doctors and I are much relieved that the outcome wasn't more serious considering how long he was unconscious.
There are still many tests to be done and questions answered, but for now I can slightly relax for the first time since this happened on Friday.
Sorry that this is all over the place, but I haven't slept in days
Hopefully by tomorrow we will have more clarity and I will be able to give a more detailed update.
Thank you for all the prayers and well wishes, I am certain that they played a big part in Jim's recovery so far and will continue to do so.
