Before his stroke, John walked several miles each day and was very
active. Since the stroke, his activity level has decreased significantly. His
right leg was amputated due to a blood clot and infection, a complication
from the stroke. He is confined to a wheelchair now. His right hand is
paralyzed so moving around in the wheelchair is difficult. He uses his
left foot to guide the chair throughout the house, with some assistance
from his wife when needed. He is able to sit up in bed on his own, and
get out of bed with the use of a bar next to the bed. He needs his wife's
help to use the toilet. He cannot stay at home by himself longer than 3-4
hours. - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ 4
Before her stroke Linda was a taxi driver and did everything well for
herself. After the stroke she was left with limited left hand function and
unable to walk from room to room without assistance. She needs
assistance with bathing and doesn't think she can be left alone for more
than 24 hours. She remains in a rehabilitation center, and visits her home
on the weekends. She needs a commode at home and assistance getting
to the commode. She can sit up in bed by herself, though. - ACCURATE

Rachel, 67, had a stroke 3 months ago. For 3 weeks following her stroke,
she was nearly bedridden and unable to walk without the help. She also
had severe word finding problems for a few weeks. Following intensive
rehabilitation, Rachel is now walking with only a cane and carrying out
nearly all activities she did prior to the stroke. She still has minor word
finding problems, however, so she is uncomfortable with talking on the
phone with family and friends, an activity she used to enjoy nearly daily.
