Flora was at home when she collapsed. She had an acute onset of left-sided weakness in her upper and lower limbs with some facial weakness. She also appeared to have left-sided visuo-spatial neglect.
She was admitted to hospital where she remains an inpatient. She is beginning to make progress following her stroke and is now mobilising with a quad stick and supervision.
She still has significant impairment including:
- left upper limb weakness
- mild left visual inattention. Unless this recovers to the extent that it is not clinically apparent Flora will not be able to resume driving
- cognitive issues which include executive problems. She has poor insight into the impact her impairments will have on her ability to return to daily activities
