In reply to the discussion: Vegetative man tells doctors ‘I’m not in pain’ via MRI communication [View all]hollysmom
(5,946 posts)30. Bless you
been there - My mom had a stroke and was lucky enough to have just aphasia as a side effect. before she learned how to speak again, there were moments of pure anger that we could not understand - the anger came from frustration. I had to remind myself she was not mad at me, but the situation.
I hope your mom improves and gets communication back, there have been great strides in recovery.
