    My mother aged 61 suffered from a left mca stroke 2 months ago .. unfortunately she wasn't given TPA due to risk of internal bleeding. so she was was held for Conservative management. which means she was held in the ICU for two weaks watching her condition. its been two months now. but she lost mobility in right side and also speach .. what is called aphasia. we started physical therapy almost in the 2nd week and speach therapy a month after. i guess what I am looking for if someone had a similar condition and survived and was theri recovery journey?

    I've had 3 cryptogenic strokes and a pulmonary embolism and suffer from migraines with aura. I first found out about my hole in the heart about 30 years ago. I'm now 74 and so far no doctor has ever told me that my PFO was the cause, in fact they have told me I don't have to worry about it with no explanation why I don't have to worry about it. I am on the blood thinner Apixaban. I have had brain scans years ago to find out why I was having so many migraines as well as one migraine that lasted for over a week with numbness, and aura. They had said there was scar tissue on my brain but did not know what was causing it. I had been told that the hole is not that large, but hell I've had these strokes and many blood clots and the pulmonary embolism so something is going on. I have never been referred to a cardiologist. BTW I was in the hospital at the time they noticed the pulmonary embolism and was on my way down for a CT scan when I had a cardiac arrest. If I had not been in the hospital, I would not have survived.
