Lost Sensation On Left Side Of The Body After A Stroke
My mum suffered a stroke on Sunday. She lives in a nursing home & they had trouble waking her at 7am on Sunday so suspected a stroke. She was taken to emergency where stroke was confirmed. Mum could open her eyes (once) yesterday & could understand direction however not able to talk however today she has only slept. Is this normal or do you think she may in the coming days open her eyes & start to make progress. Mum has no feeling on the left side of the body & this was caused by a clot which travelled to her brain. She is 83yo. Thanks.
