“After the Stroke, A Caregiver’s Notes” is a personal experience story in which author, Dora Duran, documents the aftermath of her husband’s stroke for a period of nearly five years. From the morning of his affliction, to his arrival in the hospital ER, to his admission to ICU, Ms. Duran provides a view of events as they unfold in the intense hospital setting. Initially believing her husband has escaped permanent damage, she soon perceives that his condition is worsening. Within a nine day timeframe, her husband, Robert, goes from bad to worse, perhaps due to medical decisions that endangered his life.
As Robert slips into a semi-comatose state, Duran exhorts family members to his bedside. What happens next establishes the importance of familial support in a stroke patient’s fight for survival. Ms. Duran affirms the power of prayer when physical strength weakens and institutions fail. She confirms the goodness of people as shown by the support extended by family and neighbors.
“After the Stroke” reveals the huge adjustments that must be made to accommodate a paralyzed stroke victim’s new requirements for life. It exposes the difficulties faced dealing with the medical establishment—doctors, hospitals, short staffs. Finally, it illustrates the devastating effects of hospitalization and rehabilitation costs upon a senior couple’s limited budget. It offers suggestions to those caught in similar circumstances, such as dealing with arbitrary Medicare benchmarks, Medicare’s refusal to pay when patients don’t meet the benchmarks, and the trend toward hospitals dumping acutely ill patients into nursing homes. While numerous books promise miracle cures, “After the Stroke” never sugarcoats the truth about the difficulties faced by stroke victims and their families.

As I was reading this poignant work of non-fiction, I was completely immersed in it, and plunged myself into the book, marveling at the power words can hold. As the author relives the ordeals she faces through a highly traumatic period of her life, she compassionately delivers very important messages.The message is one of valuing the life of a loved one, unfailingly. The message is one of gratitude and thankfulness of our time on earth, never taking a moment for granted-life can be dangerously unpredictable. It’s also an uplifting and highly informative message for all those of us who are taking care of our ill loved ones- you are not alone. The message is one of perseverance, inner strength, believing in kindness, and not losing focus, despite the daily, often mountainous challenges faced by a caregiver.
It’s a cautionary story, written in a highly sensitive manner. The medical information is very insightful and accurate, which shows that the author has researched this topic thoroughly. There is a wonderfully organized glossary of medical terminology at the end of the book, which makes this entire journey such a valuable one. D.Duran highlights important issues with regard to the medical and rehabilitative system in USA. I personally found this story to be very enlightening, and I cannot wait to read more works by this very gifted writer.
Beautifully written, it touched me deeply. A must read for everyone- young and old alike. In fact, after reading this book, I think no one should be without a copy of it. If you love someone, share this book, because if a book can save a life, it’s this one.

After the Stroke A Caregiver Notes edition by Dora Duran Professional Technical eBooks Reviews
I would recommend this book to an caregiver of a stroke patient or even a potential Stoke patient as the writer covers most all of the phases of treatment and recovery of a stroke victim. Though short the book gives a very good guide to things you might watch for and handle differently. I read this in the days following my mother's recent stroke and it helped me to understand the importance of many of the things that were occurring.
As one who husband had a heart attack than bypass surgery and than followed by a stroke,I relate to it all and so glad someone wrote about it. Our one year after stoke will be November 20th 2017. Our whole world change on November 20th 2016.
My spouse of many years unexpectedly had a hemorrhagic stroke. As I tend to do, I read everything I could about the subject, especially about care giving. I saw a lot of my experience in Dora Duran;s book. She deals with a lot of the small things, the nuances of what family, especially caregivers, will face in their loved one's recovery.
Humanely and gently written, if you have a loved one recovering from a stroke, you'll get a lot from this book.
