...Read MoreNo, not really. She still has short term memory problems, so there is a lot she doesn't recall. There were times when she was in the hospital, that she would become beligerent and that is something totally out of character for her. However, she now knows when she has not said the right word and thinks it is comical. Bless her heart, all of the therapists just love her.
You mention that your mom hit previously hit her head. Has she had any falls where she hit her head? My mom had two falls where she hit her head towards the end of last year. I took her for CT Scans and it did not show anything. Then, when she had the speech problems and I took her to the hospital, they did the CT Scan and it showed the stroke. They followed up with an MRI and it showed that she had had several mini-strokes prior to this larger one.
