 Helpful Handbook May 8, 2008
Ms. Pantz (Western MA United States)

The whole "...for Dummies" series is great reference material, and this book is no exception. If you find yourself in the unfortunate circumstance of having to learn "ALL" about the subject of stroke, then buy this book! The information in it not only addressed many of my family's concerns, but also anticipated the struggles we fumbled towards. The chapters on what happens when the patient must leave the hospital were especially helpful.
At such an uncertain and overwhelming time, one needs reliable information which is easy to grasp. Reading Stroke for Dummies was like listening to a wise friend dispense trusted advice.

My 82 year old mother had a stroke and I ordered this book for my dad to help him understand the process of what she is going through. He has raved repeatedly about the book. It is written in terms that anyone can understand. It's a great book! Thank you to the writers.

I got this book late in the game. I wish I would of gotten this book when my husband's stroke first happened. it explains things pretty good. from when a stroke 1st happens to all the stuff afterwards. another good book is High Blood Pressure for Dummies. A site to go to for support is strokeboard.net - lots of great people to talk to.
