Have you or anyone you know ever had a hemorrhagic stroke? If so, what was the ultimate outcome? Did this person regain any use of the side that was paralyzed? Or did the person end up not making any progress with physical and occupational therapy, and was bound to a wheel chair for the rest of his or her life? I'm asking because my grandmother had a right-side hemorrhagic stroke, and consequently, a craniotomy. I know all people are different, and a lot of how well the person recovers has to do with the person herself. I'm just very upset about this, and it kills me to see my grandmother in this condition. Up until a month ago, she was cutting her own lawn with a push mower! Always very active, healthy, etc. You'd never know she was 79 years old. And now this. Any advice/statistics are appreciated. I've done some research, and everything I find online is very similar to what the doctors have told us. I'm looking for personal experience. Thanks!
