Hospital Visit

Silent stroke that is what the doctor says about the condition of my brother in law. I was not aware of the effects until I saw myself. I thought this only happens in movies I could believe it that the patient is having a hard time recalling things. He knows a bit but struggles remembering details and suffers headache in the process and just gives up. I thought that was only in the movies. I can see the frustration in him. He cries in silence and the way I understand those tears is he knows something when prompted but can't recall and that is where the pain starts.

I did not include his face in the photo just the green tag on his arm. Me and my husband went for a visit but couldn't stay long because of the visiting hours limit. This is the hospital where he was admitted. There were limited photos I took out of respect and privacy so here is a nice view of the building facade.

We went back the following morning which is today. My sister is the only one looking after the patient (her husband) because the room can only accommodate one person to stay overnight. I heard the patient is good to go on Thursday and will require two therapy appointments one of which will be speech therapy.

Thank you
