There is a short time after a stroke where Dr can counter the effects. After that all bets are off. Your husband was lucky.
On another note. My son approach to work is 180 from me. He does not have the same devotion to duty that I did. Does that bother me? No.
Why…his devotion is to his family and children. He is a much better father than I ever was. He has no problem sacrificing career over taking care of his children. Me, I was always gone, taking care of business. I am lucky he even talks to me.
Very lucky…like your husband.
