When they admitted my husband to the hospital they diagnosed him with Ischemic stroke, but when they discharged him the diagnosis was Cerebellar Stroke, acute. He has Stage 3 chronic kidney disease, is diabetic and high blood pressure. He came home from the hospital yesterday afternoon and is still suffering from very bad balance issues. Even with the walker.

I am sorry for your husband. Cerebellum is where the stoke occurred which is also called the little brain at the lower back of your head and ischemic means the stroke was cause by a blood clot . I am almost two years since my cerebellum stroke(it was a clot too) . I still have mild balance issues. It takes time, some rehab, Physio too to help. I have spent a lot of time in the pool to strengthen the left side. I can’t believe I am still getting better after this time but it is small amounts. Don’t be discouraged- it takes time.

Insula, when I came home, balance was gone, I still had terrible vertigo, still vomitted, and had to work very hard to get to the point where I could use the walker. But, I was 57, in good health, and progress was made quickly. Well, took a couple months, but progress was made every day. Once he gets better with walker, he will be inspired to keep working harder until he can walk without it. You are, as of now, at the most overwhelming point. That will pass to just a memory as he begins therapy and makes progress. God bless!
