Stop in for a cup of coffee

Well here is daughter update. Tuff day in rehab yesterday but just great progress. She is at an inpatient rehab clinic for stroke and blood clot (aneurisms) patients. It is very specific and focused. It is amazing, she literally gets one hour off for lunch then right back to serious PT. Six hard core hours a day. She can barely hold her head up when she is done she is exhausted. She is walking around the gym with no assistance and now also pushing a sled. She has regained full mobility of arm and hand but is very weak. She can speak and think at just almost normal pace. Her team is meeting on Monday to decide when to kick her out. Woo Hoo! Being so young and fit has really helped her. She was/is a yoga fiend and eats very healthy non drink non smoker. The thing that is really spooky to me is when I was mid thirties I literally did not know a single person my age that had experienced a stroke, that was reserved for the sixty plus crowd. At the rehab center it is easily 3:1 or maybe 4:1 - 35 and under patients vs older patients. It is super weird. The gym is filled with young people and very few older? What has changed physically in our society to create such a reversal of victims? It freaked me out. Again sincere thanks to all y’all for the prayers and PMs of support. From life flighting her fighting for her life two weeks ago to yesterday has been a roller coaster of emotions for our entire family.

That's strange how the stroke victim age has shifted. Stress??
I don't know if the numbers have changed at all by age group. I think what you are seeing is that the younger ones are in a recovery program. Many older folks are not that lucky. If they survive it's not to the degree where they can do a program like that.
