Sorry, I never meant to imply that one diagnosis is easier than another. Yes, I agree with you, wholeheartedly, that everything is relative. I simply did not realize that at my mother's age which was 80 at the time of her bleeding stroke, she had limited chance of recovery than a younger person might have.
I pressured the doctor to attempt therapies that were unreasonable and he was annoyed by my requests to try therapies. I did not mean to imply that certain therapies would provide improvement because I did not realize at the time the magnitude of the damage and the problems with rehabilitation. I soon learned that I could not safely care for my mother and that I was expecting the therapists to attempt miracles. I never declared any rehab easier than another.
Thanks for bringing it to my attention. My mother remained in a nursing home for over six years and never improved despite much trial and error. I had to learn much about caring for someone so brain damaged, yet alive. It was difficult to give up trying rehabilitation methods for such a dear person. Dorisena
