My dad has also been struggling with his health. Unfortunately for him, he was ambushed by some sort of virus during his visit to us. Their normal one-week visit has turned into three-weeks, much of which he has spent in bed, trying to recover.
We have been worried that it was another stroke because he was showing similar symptoms, but in the end it has been decided that it was not. Apparently, after a stroke, some of the recovery is actual, but some of it is simply compensation by one’s brain and body to cover up the lasting effects. To make matters worth, my father is notoriously susceptible to strange and harsh maladies and manages to contract illnesses that, in several cases, have never been properly diagnosed. Sometimes a run-in-the-mill virus can lay him out for a long time. In this case, while his body was fighting the virus, it stopped some of its normal compensation for the lasting effects of the stroke.
We have all been very worried about him over the last several weeks, but fortunately he seems to be slowing getting better now.
