[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So sorry OP. Very similar story as my mother. Total denial also by my father who passed this year in horrible circumstances. There is nothing I could have done better with the information I knew at the time. What do you think would have changed if you theoretically had taken/forced her to a doctor sooner? Sorry to say but most likely she'd still have a stroke anyway. My mother was under several doctor's care and still had (we believe) a stroke but are getting the MRI soon. [/quote] She was completely unaware of high cholesterol (no risk factors, so probably genetic), which led to high BP. A series of bad things happened because of that. Vascular dementia, and then stroke. If she had taken medication to lower her high cholesterol (her lifestyle was very healthy), I don’t think any of this would have happened, at least not so soon.
