A member asked:
Had basal ganglia stroke, over holiday, sent to nursing home, no pt or therapy over holiday. what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See comments: Holiday weekends include rehab staff, but a few days delay will not destroy your recovery chances. Suggest you communicate with your therapists and doctors regarding any concerns, or needs. Not sure if you are taking an anti-platelet med such as aggrenox, or on a statin drug, to prevent future strokes. Both pt and ot should be part of your team. Maybe a team meeting will reassure you.
