STROKE.........advice and help needed

[slappy]

Father in law had one nearly 8 years ago, his speech is now always slurred and he cannot drive anymore, and needs help to get up and down stairs, on level ground is ok with a walking stick. Their house was modified to have a downstairs bathroom to make it easier for him and a carer comes a couple of times a week.
I know this does not sound good but he is 80 years old now.
Make sure you ask hospital and social services for any help you need, thats what they are for.
