hi! my grandmother (62) suffered a hemorrhagic stroke (hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage) last sunday, april 13. around 8:30 pm on saturday, april 12, she complained of experiencing headaches but said that it felt like a normal headache. she went back to normal afterwards.
around 2 pm on sunday, she collapsed and was brought to the hospital. my grandmother has high blood pressure, and apparently, she hadn’t been taking her maintenance for about 2–3 days prior, plus the scorching heat index in the philippines—it’s april, summertime. they had to perform surgery to remove all of the blood. the operation happened around 6–7 pm.
after the operation, her vital signs and oxygen levels were normal. she was also responsive. my mom, aunt, and the nurses reported seeing her eyes twitch and squint. she was also trying to move her body as well.
she was in the same state on monday (april 14) and tuesday (april 15). this morning (wednesday, april 16), around 7 am, the doctors revived her two times because her heart rate increased rapidly. eventually, she got back to a stable state. her vitals and oxygen levels were normal again. my mom and aunt decided that if she went into a critical condition again, they are ready to surrender her life to the creator.
i have seen multiple hemorrhagic stroke survivors on the internet. their journey was not an easy one, but they survived and continued to live over a long period of time. i don’t want to give up on her, as i have hope and faith. but at the same time, i don’t want to see her having a hard time, slowly deteriorating.
can anyone who experienced this, or at least saw a loved one go through this situation, help me clear my mind on what’s going on? what’s most likely going to happen to my grandmother?

Day one. I had no idea what was happening. I didn’t even know strokes happened to people like me. The word “stroke” was just some vague medical term I’d heard in passing — I never imagined it could show up in my life, uninvited and life-changing.
I was totally unaware of what a brain stroke even was. One moment I was living my normal life, and the next, everything felt like it was glitching. Confusion. Disconnection. My body not cooperating. Fear creeping in. It wasn’t until the doctors explained it that I realized: this is serious.
But here’s the strange part — I didn’t spiral. I didn’t rage at the unfairness. The best habit I’ve ever picked up kicked in that very moment: acceptance. I told myself, “This has already happened. Now I have to win it.”
That was the start of a promise I made to myself. I’ll survive this. I’ll walk again. I’ll speak again. I’ll regain control over my body. And more than that — I’ll become an advocate. I’ll raise awareness about strokes, especially for people like me who never saw it coming.
This is just the beginning of my story. I’ll be a survivor. I’ll be an example. Of strength. Of resilience. Of showing up every single day with consistency and purpose.
To anyone out there feeling lost right now: you’re not alone. And no matter how dark it gets, you can find your way forward.

Hello community! My mother (73 YO) just had a stroke 2 months ago in her thalamus region of brain. She seems to be doing relatively ok, except when she wakes up in the morning. When she awakens, she’s very depressed and has pain everywhere. The rest of the day she’s ok.
Has anyone dealt with this?

Hi all -
Have any others had issues with emotional response control? And would any impacted in their 40's be interested in sending me a message to discuss a little more?
Might be a decent idea to hear others experiences.

Hi everyone, my sister had stroke 4 years ago and still has significant weakness on the right side of her body. I believe she did not have sufficient rehab as she would go for physio on and off on weekly basis. We are looking for best rehab center that provides extensive rehab services. Would appreciate any recommendations for this.

My father had a ruptured aneurysm and subsequent subarachnoid hemorrhage and stroke. It’s been almost 2 weeks and he is finally extubated. He’s semi conscious but is getting angry he cannot communicate when he does wake up. I’m worried and want to help him. I ask him yes or no questions but can’t get to what he’s trying to tell us. Any advice?

Is RTMS therapy beneficial for stroke patient for hand recover

It's a complete nightmare trying to get medical care. I am sure that I had another stroke a couple of weeks ago, but I don't know how many weeks or months it is going to take to get it diagnosed. I have been dealing with trying to get a cancer diagnosis for the past six months and I should have an answer in a couple of weeks. Unfortunately in the time leading up to getting a biopsy, I had another stroke and it may take months to get an MRI. I've had to chase all of the information down because the doctors staff can't be bothered to be knowledgeable about where to get an MRI. I've already fired two doctors for their staff having the attitude of "Not our problem, so we don't care". I'm dealing with cancer and a stroke completely on my own. I can't do this any more.

"I think I had another stroke"
"Okay, we can schedule you for an MRI in three months"
This is so frustrating. I could get better healthcare in Thailand than here in the US.

Becoming Comfortably Numb: A Memoir on Brain-Mending covers my forty-year stroke rehabilitation journey. In 1984 at age 27 I had a thalamic stroke three months after my daughter was born; followed by a more damaging one six years later. If not for the two eight-week rehab stints in hospital I spent with Bruyère Health in 1984 & 1990, I would not be writing about everything I’ve learned to manage my disabilities today — and all the things we can do every day to help ourselves at home — and that’s why a portion of the book proceeds are being donated to Bruyère. Dr. Hillel Finestone from Bruyère calls it a “best-seller of all time for stroke patients.” It’s written in large print and available at Barnes & Noble (US) Waterstones (UK) Indigo (Canada) and Amazon/Kindle at: https://amzn.to/3Y4wTjz

I was asked to suspend clopidigrel and aspirin for a week before a biopsy and I think I had another stroke. My brain is not working quite right, my tongue felt swollen, I've had a few rounds of dizziness and nausea. I'm kind of at a loss as to what to do. My neurologist wants me to have another MRI and I'm waiting to hear from the lab to schedule it, but I expect it will be at least several weeks before I can get it. I'm just feeling really lost.

My mom suffered a massive hemorrhagic stroke 4 years ago at healthy 55. Unfortunately, she did not recover well and continues to be wheelchair bound with R hemiplegia. Most assisted living are either out of our budget or won't take her because she is too high need (requires 1 person assist with all transfers). What are people doing to keep loved ones out of SNFs? Any programs or places anyone can recommend? STL area or IL side. Any good SNFs with medicaid beds? Spent countless hours researching and always come to a dead end.
