What I really would like to know if any any can tell me is what are the signs of returning leg function. My husband had a stage 4 bleed that he was pretty much given up on. They wanted me to let him go whatever that meant but I refused. Today 6 months later he has a bad bed sore due to hospital neglect but is is extremely aware talking and is coming back now very quickly all in the course of about 2 months.
He will have a swallow test tomorrow and is considered medically sound as he has no other medical problems. in addition he has had no speech problems , his senses all in tact and very witty and with it. he is writing reading and speaking very well but he is not walking. Or eating, though he can wiggle toes on command and today after a week can now rotate foot. Does anyone know is this a sign of returning leg function. It has been a long road and far from over but he has developed a sense of calmness, and tells me he is prepared to work hard to come home.any comments about legs. thanks
