"If you or someone you love has had a stroke, dealing with the onslaught of medical information can be confusing and overwhelming. And if you happen to be a stroke survivor with newly impaired language skills, it can be especially hard to comprehend everything your doctors, nurses, and specialists are telling you. This book consists of the top 100 questions that survivors and their families ask, with answers from physicians and therapists. For stroke survivors still struggling with reading comprehension, or for family members who are simply too tired to read long passages, there are Takeaway Points at the end of each chapter to help simplify everything. Includes answers to frequently asked questions such as: What is a stroke, and who is at risk for one? What is the best diet for a stroke survivor? How does group therapy compare to individual therapy? What should a stroke survivor look for in a therapist? How long will it take to recover, and how can stroke survivors maximize their recovery? What can someone do to prevent having another stroke? You'll gain a wealth of information, inspiration, advice, and support as you navigate your journey through stroke recovery. Dr. Mike Dow is a psychotherapist and relationship expert who appears regularly on The Dr. Oz Show. His brother David Dow is a stroke survivor whose life story of healing and recovery has been featured in People magazine. Megan Sutton is a speech-language pathologist who works with adults with acquired communication disorders, specializing in the assessment and treatment of aphasia."--Provided by publisher.
