I had a minor stroke which affected my right side and speech.
Not much aftercare, sent home next day from hospital with a box of baby aspirin.
Only real education was from Stroke trial people who explained all the symptoms
I was having and a great help from the Speech therapist ( I had to request from My GP)
Sheena has reassured me I am not going mad and has shown me patience and understanding Helping with my speech and building my confidence.
