    Stroke and Rehabilitation

    “I heard her get up in the middle of the night,” Wayne says, “Then when she was coming back to bed, I noticed that only one arm and one leg were working. The rest was being dragged behind. I knew at that point something was wrong because she’d had two minor strokes before.”
