Summary: Stroke Recovery
Review: 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.

Summary: A very helpful resource for stroke recovery!
Review: Stroke is not something you plan for, so if it occurs to you or someone in your family you need all the information you can get. This book does a great job of covering the basics and does so in a very clear, understandable way. The quotes from other stroke survivors is also very encouraging.

Summary: A good overview but not a comprehensive guide
Review: 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.

Summary: Most helpful in a time of crises
Review: This book was very helpful when my mother had a serious stroke. We were so worried and had so many questions. Medical staff is often busy and can't always answer all questions...and they are reluctant to say too much sometimes..since all patients are different. But this book gave us a good basic understanding of how the brain is affected by stroke and how recovery works. I highly recommend it.
