I'm not sure how much help this will be but I've had a few people in my life suffer strokes. My best pal just had a stroke at the beginning of November - he was 30yrs old when it happened.

He's been pretty lucky as he's pretty much back to normal already and managed to have an enjoyable Xmas with his family. He still says he's tired a lot and he sometimes gets pain in his left side but other than that, he's fine.

The Docs did say it would be best part of a year before he's 100% again tho.

If you're Dad is on the mend then that's great news but be patient as it will take time and listen to what the Specialists say.

Sounds like he's over the worst of it now and I'm glad to here he's on the mend and still around as they can be very severe - a guy I worked with was 26 when he had a stroke in May 2008 and died.

My Aunt has had 3 strokes in her time and you would never know so that shows there's plenty light at the end of the tunnel. She was 50 when suffered her 1st one and is now 66 and still going strong.
