Unfortunately, Fetterman seems to have some sort of impairment, perhaps neurological sequelae from the stroke and/or a psychiatric illness in addition to the post-stroke depression he suffered. And his cognition could be affected by psych meds.

That stroke affected his critical thinking skills...or is the Stephen Miller wearing a Fetterman mask?

I had a (minor) stroke in September and that's affected my vision and RA has affected my hands and fingers. Lotsa other stuff but I can't sit for long either so the PC is my best option!

Cw Death

My mom's friend passed away on thursday after suffering a sudden brain stroke, today was the funeral mass and we of course attended.

I wasn't expecting to be affected by her passing since I didn't talk to her much, but she was always so nice to me and complimented me whenever she visited

I don’t think he runs in 2028, he hates being a senator and being so hated by his constituents

I don’t think he becomes a lobbyist though either; the stroke affected him too much for him to be effective at it

New paper! 📄 In a 14-day diary study with 86 couples affected by stroke, daily stress was linked between partners, while more mindful awareness went along with less stress – especially for people living with stroke whose partners were more mindful. 🫂

As I have noted before, depending on the type of stroke and what part of the brain it affected, McConnell is an empty husk most of the time at this point; either dylantin or damage has made him unable to communicate.

Elder abuse, and it’s also a slap in the voter’s face.
This is just elder abuse at this point.
Here’s Mitch McConnell answering a few questions from a reporter.

Did I say “answer” I meant to say unable to speak or communicate with on any level.

Where’s this man’s wife or his family? Doesn’t he have any friends in the Senate? Clearly, this man belongs in an assisted living facility.

Murphy had a TIA. My mom had one in her 50s, she's 78 and (knock on wood) fine and brilliant. My dad had a stroke-stroke that affected his right eye and balance that he fully recovered from in 2 months.

Yes. A stroke is an interruption of blood flow in the cerebral circulation. It is usually from a blood clot (like a heart attack). Sometimes it's from a bleed. The signs are related to the area of the brain that is affected. It can be motor issues, paralysis, difficulty/inability to speak, etc.

I have just finished a round of PT to help me recover from a stroke that affected my sense of balance. My very wonderful PT person told me that people often report more difficulty at the change of seasons. I know I do also.

After suffering a devastating stroke in 2013 that nearly claimed his life and severely affected his ability to speak, country music legend Randy Travis faced an uncertain future. Many feared his iconic baritone voice would never be heard onstage again.

Years […]

I still think the stroke affected Fetterman. I believe he was genuine about who he was before that.

And I'd still rather have Fetterman as my senator than Dr. Oz. I don't regret my vote for him for a second.

I’ve had a stroke. They affect people differently, depending on the type. the area of the brain that was affected, and severity. I didn’t have any cognitive deficits, but did need to learn how to walk unassisted again. If it changes his capacity and judgment of course, but we don’t know that yet.

My father's first was so small that they couldn't find it at the hospital. Did after the next one, which was definitely a stroke. Hemorrhagic, brain stem, affected mostly cranial nerves (vision, balance). The last one killed him, five years later.

People with certain medical conditions can have sensory issues that make wearing "normal" clothes unbearably uncomfortable. The stroke might have caused something like that. From what I've heard his hearing was also affected and he uses a mobile teleprompter to help him understand people speaking.

Even the blackberries were slower than usual this year, we put out bee watering stations but I think the water was evaporating more than being drank in summer even in the shade, also the human with epilepsy was affected badly, the heat caused more seizures than usual and a&e were full of heat stroke
