My mom had a full stroke 12 years ago I think, had amnesia and had to learn everything all over again. Then she had 6 or 7 mini strokes in the past 2 months in and out of the hospital, she had to take blood thinners and they finally put her on a drug called Cumadin, she has to take it for the rest of her life. A cause of this is she had a hole in her heart...they said 25% of all babies have holes in their hearts and they close by the age of 12 or less but hers didnt close...the left side of the heart is never suppose to go into the right side but hers was being mixed so the blood flow fucked up causing the strokes. She still has the hole and they havent figured out if she needs surgery or not to close it.

As for your dad the hole thing could possibly be the problem, the blood is too thick, or the veins are just being clogged up fucking up the blood flow, im not an expert but thats what i've learned from whats happenin to my mom.

And it depends on the magnitude of the stroke to realize if hes paralyzed forever or not...hes gonna have to take a shitload of tests, theres 2 or 3 tests that they take so many times too.

peace
