Product Description
Are You Recovering from a Stroke? If you or someone you love has had a stroke, you are probably frightened and worried. And, you’re filled with questions. What can be expected in recovery? How much rehabilitation will be needed? No health professional can predict the exact outcome of a stroke. Still, research shows that patients tend to do better when they have supportive families and friends. Learning the basics about stroke and rehabilitation can help families provide a stronger support system as well as reduce their fears of the unknown. Author Kip Burkman, M.D., is a rehabilitation physician who has worked with thousands of stroke patients and families. He understands what families go through when a loved one has a stroke, and he offers answers to many of your questions. Among the topics Dr. Burkman covers: • How strokes occur—what happens in the brain • Major types of strokes and effects • Cognitive changes—personality, emotions, intellect, behavior • Speech and language impairments • Weakness in limbs • Swallowing problems • Recover and rehabilitation—what to expect • Stroke prevention—reducing your risk of stroke
A quick reference book to help you cope with the effects of stroke!

While I found this book interesting it would be most disappointing if I were someone looking for real answers. If someone is looking for real recovery then I would recommend a book called Peeling the Onion:
Reversing the Ravages of Stroke. In 2000 my grandmother had a stroke which left her paralyzed, unable to roll over in her bed and unable to speak. Long-short, I took a shot and took her to this clinic where, in less than a week she and I were again having two-way conversations and she could transfer herself from the car to the wheelchair. By the time we went home she was walking 400 feet with a walker. Strokes change families but they don't have to be permanently debilitating. If you are looking for help for the stroke and not just a book to read, you might want to order it. Thank God for Dr. Hammesfahr and his stroke therapy!Peeling the Onion: Reversing the Ravages of StrokePeeling the Onion: Reversing the Ravages of Stroke

Having recently had a loved one who has suffered a devastating stroke, this book was so helpful in every aspect of what to expect on this very long journey to recovery. It was easy to read and to understand and I would highly recommend it to any family or caregiver who is going through this process with a loved one.

Overall, a solid book, but could be a lot more comprehensive. It just doesnt cover all of the issues. (I was still left with questions). I recommend the book by Joel Stein, MD, called Stroke and the Family, which is very understandable, but has more information.

My mother had a stroke recently. Her physician recommended this book, which we found very helpful. I would recommend it to any family who is doing through such a crisis.
A good overview but not a comprehensive guide April 14, 2001

This a book that will give you an overview of the main causes of stroke and what to expect as of "The Day After". A good source of "initial" information after you or a loved one had just had a stroke. This book is for a family member suffering from sleepless nights on the waiting room while the stroke patient is in the Intensive Care Unit or those who have just woke up after a stroke and still lack basic info. The information provided by the book is useful, but most of it is already available in the many stroke reference sites throughout the internet. If you already have some education about the topic, this is not the book for you.
