So my husband has arrived at a specialist rehab unit yesterday, I was allowed an hour with him today and the unit seems very nice,he has a nice room overlooking the gardens and it is very peaceful there compared to the hospital ward he has been in previously.
He is 5 months post aneurysm surgery that caused a stroke and he has had 2 craniotomies and a shunt fitted after developing hydrocephalus. He has gotten very thin in the arms and legs,has no feeling or movement in his left side and can only tolerate 1/2 hour in a chair.
Does anyone have any experience of starting rehab this long after the brain injury or give me any idea what to expect, i know we probably have a long road ahead of us but the not knowing what is ahead of us is torturing me.
thanks for your time and i hope everyone is keeping as well as they can in these scary times x
