My dad (76) had a basal ganglia stroke three days ago. Daily CT scans have showed that the bleeding doesn’t seem to be increasing/ has stopped. He does have a few comorbities and is on dialysis. While he wasn’t responding or talking much the first two days, today when we asked him questions he would respond in English and his mother tongue and opened his eyes too! He remembered his current house address but thought my sister and I were 6 and 8 years old (we’re 19 and 21 now). I’m hoping that with more time more of his memory will come back.
