Brief Answer:
You've dad has a stroke attack.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to HCM. Thanks for your query.

The MRI brain report of your dad suggest that he suffers from a Stroke attack. This basically means he has clots in the brain blood vessels. This has affected the left side of his body. We call this as hemiplegia.

Now in this situation your father needs to be admitted in hospital under the care of a neuro physician. Beside antiplatelet drugs he will require physiotherapy.

You need to priorities your father's health issues. Blood sugars are under control. But diabetes and stroke management will be treated hand in hand.

Kidney stones can be treated once he recovers from the stroke and fit for surgically intervention.

Hope the answer helps you to make the right decision.

Regards.
