Recovering from a brain stem strokes?

Strokes that occur in the brain stem are especially devastating. The brain stem is the area of the brain that controls all of our involuntary "life-support" functions, such as breathing rate, blood pressure and heartbeat. The brain stem also controls abilities such as eye movements, hearing, speech and swallowing. Since impulses generated in the brain's hemispheres must travel through the brain stem on their way to the arms and legs, patients with a brain stem stroke may also develop paralysis in one or both sides of the body.

I read the pages on the link below and as someone who is at great risk for this, I was devistated. I want you to read this site so you know you are not alone and I wish only the best for you. Personally, right now I am going to add something to my will. I won't live like that, I believe in the spirit moving from the vessel to find another path so if my vessel is that damaged, I want to be unplugged so to speak.

Please, go with my good wishes and best thoughts for what ever you decide and do. Source(s): http://www.joeandjackie.homestead.com/...
