On the left side, deep in the basal ganglia... mostly just lost speech and writing...everyone's cva is different.
I also have low blood pressure, and everyone in my family is basically a cholesterol factory.

I'm glad you are still with us!
Did your left side come back? It is important to work on any deficits asap.
There are a lot of books out there...
My guy was a real angel through that first year. It was so frustrating!
But I did get better, because it does get better, or we learn to adapt better.
I learned to type better, because I still have trouble writing.
My heart goes out to you.. good luck!!
