Hello all, 10:54pm on a warm october night, 16th of october to be exact.

 

And she talked, we could say technically that my grandma had spoken today, I've heard her voice, just like old times...it was totally an amazing time in my life that I will never forget, exactly 75 days after her stroke, she did count from 1 to 10..not so properly but she did it...it was the PT who discovered that she was repeating after him as he was moving my grandma's paralysed leg up and down and was counting, so did my grandma...

 

Today morning, I spent 2 hrs with her, nearly, alone...and I asked her if she'd like to count for me, she nodded and said yes, and there she went...1-2 very blurry, then with very clean turkish 3-4-5-6-7-8 then a 10-9...although a little confused, I was shocked, and did hug her slowly...told her how nice it was to hear her voice again...I will never forget today...it was truly magical...

 

We spent the rest of our time with her, trying to tell me that she was hungry, pointed her finger in a circular path and showed the kitchen in the end...but I couldnt get it for 20mins, then we did laugh...big time...I told her not to give up, to try again and again and again...

 

That's all from our turkish side of stroke for now...

 

Healthy and happy days to all of you out there.

 

Cheers,

 

Cagin

Every improvement is a good thing,  And I agree about hearing a voice, my husband Ray struggled to get a reasonable speaking voice back after his 1999 strokes and it was lovely to hear him sounding natural.
