New member and looking for support
My husband suffered a massive stroke 3 years ago and still has not gained his speech back yet. It is so exhausting trying to figure out what he is trying to say all day everyday. He has seem to have given up even trying now, and sits watching movies all day and night.
Anyone out there going through a similar issue?
