My husband had a cerebellar stroke ( left side) 25 days ago . After 23 days in the hospital he was released.
The stroke affected the equilibrium part of his brain.
I am thankful that he has all of his senses, and is able to walk with the help of a walker.
The stroke symptoms are; headaches, dizziness, nausea and vomiting. He almost completed (one day left) the inpatient rehabilitation, he will continue next week the outpatient physical therapy.
He is eating, as we figure out what foods will stay in his stomach.
He has constipation due to so many medications. He is taking 9 medications including a medical patch, as these give him side effects too.
Thank you for reading.

Our experience is very similar- cerebellar stoke (right side) six months ago. We spent 22 days in ICU, then 14 days of inpatient rehabilitation, followed by outpatient physical therapy for a couple months. Little by little he was taken off the medications. The first few months were extremely hard for both of us but he kept working at getting better, going to therapy, exercising at home and he's improved tremendously; I didn't understand how I could help him at first and I still struggle. Don't give up hope, which is hard under our circumstances. With time your husband will continue to improve and be sure to take care of yourself while on this journey. Best of luck to both of you.
