God look around his garden
He found an empty space
-He then look down upon, this earth
And saw your tired 'face
He put' his arms around you
He lifted you to rest
God's Garden must be beautiful
For He only takes the best
He saw the road getting rough
The hills were hard to climb
So he closed your weary eyes
And whispered Peace be thine
Always, be remembered and sadly
missed by his wife, Sons, Daughters
in •law and Grandchildren. —49b
by David Woods
The 19th century bacteriologist
Louis Pasteur, continued his work
while convalescing from a stroke.
More recently, Canada's Governor-
General Jules Leger was up and
about a few weeks after suffering
a stroke this summer.
The secret of combatting the
effects of a stroke the bursting or
blocking of an artery to the brain
— is to start rehabilitation as soon
as possible. As Ann Winter, senior
consultant in rehabilitation for the
Ministry of Health's Allied Health
Disciplines Branch, puts it. "`the
patient shouldn't be allowed to hang
around; rehab should start as soon
as vital signs have stabilized." This,
she says, may be within hours of
the stroke occurring.
Miss Winter, who is both a phy-
siotherapist and an occupational
therapist, says that getting the stroke
patient hack to recovery is a co-
operative venture; it's not, just a
matter of doing things m the patient
— but getting him to eo things for
himself.
What this means is that the health
team, the patient, tied the patient's
family must v•otk together. In Some
daset it may be appropriate to start
home care services very soon after
a stroke. These services, covered by
OH1P, could include nursing,
physiotherapy, speech and occupa-
tional therapy.
kehabilitatiOn departments *Of
hospitals provide intensive in-patient
and out-patient therapy programs
to assist the Patient M recovering
optimal functions.
For the. stroke victim, the adjust-
hiettt process is vital, 'the principal
goal of refiabilitidion, says Mist

Winter, is to teach the patient how
to adapt and regain independence
and self-sufficiency. As well as the'
patient's own co-operation, this re-
quires strong support and positive
motivation,
Depending on the severity of the
attack, the recovery rate for sur-
vivors of strokes is encouraging,
particularly when rehabilitation is
started curly enough to prevent or
offset deformity, and to get the
patient functioning again. I.egs
usually return to normal more
quickly than arms, because less fine
movement is involved, Sonic strokes
produce only a slight weakness in
the limbs; more severe ones con
lead to loss of speech and paralysis
of one side of the body.
Since some strokes are caused by
thrombosis (or blocking) of cere-
bral blood vessels, the rehabilitation
process includes administratioh of
anti-coagulant drugs,
Statistics on strokes are still fairly
sketchy: while any age group can
be affected, strokes are 10 times
more common in the over-65s than
in the population as a whole. People
with high blood pressure run a
greater risk of stroke than these
with normal pressure.
While strokes aren't nearly as
tonimon as heart attacks, the fatal-
ity rate for the first 'incidence is
almost the same * about 40 per
cent, Unlike heart attacks, strokes.
has very little to do with heredity
or lifestyle,
At one time, the future was-
pretty bleak for those who survived
a stroke, Today, with early encour-
agement, support and motivation,
the stroke victim can usually he
returned to a useful, productive life.
