Day 4: Husband is recovering very quickly. The clot is indeed gone, on its own. All he has taken so far are aspirin, something for nausea and another tablet for high cholesterol. His cholesterol was in the high end of the normal range.
During one of the occupational therapists visits, he was asked to close his eyes and walk straight, on the spot. When finished he saw that he had veered 45 degrees to the right, without realising it at all.
He is now walking on his own without any difficulty. Gait and speed are back to normal. He says he does feel some shakiness while moving, but actively compensates for it.
He is thinking positively and wants to go back to work already.
We were informed he would be able to leave the hospital in another couple of days. We are also waiting to see what his rehab will entail.
