care of paralysis patient - #18797

Kian

I am really worried about my dad, he had a stroke a couple of months ago, and now he's dealing with paralysis on one side. At first, we thought things would get better quickly, but it feels like we’re kinda lost, honestly. We’ve been trying to figure out the best care of paralysis patient like him, but it’s tough. Some days, he can barely move his left arm and leg, other days he seems a bit better but then gets frustrated really quick. I’ve read a bunch online about other families and their experiences with care of paralysis patient, and it sounds like some people have found success with certain therapies or routine, but we don’t know where to start. The physical therapist comes once a week but I'm feelin' like it’s not enough. We also have to handle the day-to-day stuff, like helping him eat or just get around the house. Any tips for care of paralysis patient? Anything that really worked for others? I just want to make sure we’re doing everything we can for him, y'know? I'm scared this is going to be his new normal, and I need hope or guidance or something.
