Understanding the capabilities of my mother and adjusting to those each day and being aware of those things a stroked patient can tolerate ... I wonder if carers – both professional and personal – know what these are?
My mother cannot take too much noise at any time; nor does she like tv – perhaps that’s indicative of our upbringing .. it simply wasn’t on much; the radio is a definite no no = she can only absorb small amounts of information at any one time.
My next post will highlight how she can stay engaged and not switch off – ie the approaches that best serve her interests ... something that most of us will need at some stage in our life: mine came late ... but I believe will help me with other aspects of my life.
