I can’t really add much more to what’s already been said but my understanding of these things is that it just takes a little time for the brain to rewire itself. It happens all the time.

My old dear (90) lives alone on a Wicklow hillside, and was 'found', much as your mum, minus the blood, two years ago. Visiting her then, the tree-stump in her yard was more animated.<br />A year later, on a diet of fags and reality TV, I saw her again and, as I walked up the path, heard her abusing the kindly cleaning lady who comes in and 'does' for her and knew, that she was on the mend.mahlermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14469854614938507153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526736757651414061.post-7772630804333454712010-03-11T07:18:08.284+00:002010-03-11T07:18:08.284+00:00Good news!

And I agree with Ghostofelberry: playing music (with lyrics) that your mother knows, especially from her youth, will help her make great strides in recovering memory and language. It definitely helps with my mom.madfollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12283593326146119165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526736757651414061.post-88082037572542562162010-03-10T19:26:14.588+00:002010-03-10T19:26:14.588+00:00People can make surprising recoveries from strokes...People can make surprising recoveries from strokes (i used to write reports for therapists who worked on the Stroke Rehab Unit, so have absorbed 2nd hand a few case histories). <br /><br />They say language and music can do wonders for the brain's recovery.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
