@avinashdadi I’m sorry your father is suffering. Strokes are difficult and they are different for everyone and usually there is a loss of something. My father lost half his vision in both eyes divided right down the center from a stroke and prior to this he had a traumatic brain injury and he couldn’t problem solve. He had a short temper. It was easy to distract him with better things to think about rather than being upset about things he couldn’t change. He was also diabetic and with heart disease. He couldn’t manage on his own without help from the family. As hard as that is, it also gives you time to just love them and be with them. Caregiving is tiring, but also rewarding when you find little things that strengthen your bond together. I don’t know much about medications except the heart related drugs my dad took. I’m sure they help, and you just do the best that you can. Do you have other family members or caregivers who can help? This is a lot for one person to do on their own. I did’t get much help from other family members with my parents, but it had it’s own rewards in conversations I had with my dad before he passed.
