Stroke Victims
Okay so our housekepper had a stroke and had to move in with her sister a few weeks ago. How long should I expect for her to be gone. How long are most stroke victims "down"? I dont mean to be insensitive but we really need her back.
Thanks

My grandmother had a stroke about seven years ago. She's still "down", and unless there is some miracle that restores her brain cells, she will never be "up". She can't talk, can't walk, and is entirely dependent on others. No offense, but I think it's time to advertise for a new housekeeper, or learn to pick up after yourself. :D

well my dad had a stroke in october and he has a really high up job, but was not able to return until january, and to be completley honest he is not even close to being the same person even though i love him regardless. you will probley need to get used to cleaning after yourself for a while because there are some things that my dad can not do since his stroke that he used to be able to do.

It all depends on the severity of the stroke. Damage can be permanent.
As for you not meaning to be insensitive... come on! This woman could have died, and all you can think of is how you need her to clean for you.
Try picking up a cleaning rag and helping out in the interim. Maybe send her a card to show you care.

I would say between 1-3 months. Strokes are bad, and are hazardous to health, majorly. It may even be longer. If you need someone else sooner, i would suggest maybe hiring someone else for the time being, because it is going to be a struggle for her.
