My mother had a brain bleed stroke like you in 2021 (she died 2 years after her stroke). My mother’s memory was always good, more or less, but she had a horrible time concentrating; in fact, she couldn’t even stay focused on a television show long enough to watch it to completion (forget about anything that required more than 10 minutes of concentration), especially in the 2nd year.
Her intellectual abilities remained intact for the most part over the two-year period, though she became very irrational about certain things about 5-6 months after her brain event (post-stroke regression?). She essentially gave up the will to live. Ironically, she recovered very well physically, but never appreciated it because she became too apathetic.
Out of curiosity, did you recover well physically? And what triggered your stroke? High blood pressure?
My mother’s brain bleed occurred from severely low platelets in her bloodstream from an autoimmune blood condition called aplastic anemia (very, very rare). It was spontaneous, and happened in the early morning hours while she was in bed.
Brain bleed strokes are much less common than ischemic strokes (blood clot strokes).
I’m sorry to hear of your mother, my stroke was caused by high blood pressure, my left side is still numb , i can walk with my pole, left hand doesn’t work. Try to make things as best I can. Take care John
My mum like you suffered a haemorrage at the age of 45 left side numb use a calliper.
Divorced me dad 10yrs later and lived on her own until she passed aged 70
Her memory was lapsing but she could still function without carers, she had a good circle of family and friends
You will have good bad days but like my mum i think its just as we get older are memiry not so good
