Yes. I know from experience, (not personally). But my Mom just recently had a heart attack, and a stroke at the same time. What I can't figure out is why after 17 days, and 2 trips to the Er, my Sister and I can't get an explanation the the treating of, or to even why it happened. This is so very frustrating Mom a vibrant very outgoing woman, has been to the Er , then a 6 day stay in the hospital, then to rehab, only for a day and a half. Then back to the Er. Another 4 day stay at the hospital. Then back to rehab. She's having ,what I think are small seizure's . She becomes non-responsive. Then after about 3-4 hr. She's talking and laughing. But not normal, due to the stroke. I just need an answer.....
