Thank you all for your kind words and hugs
We are still adjusting to our new life, finding new ways to cope.
DH is doing good and slowly getting better, but the doctors revealed that he already had several other strokes prior to the latest one.
Which in hindsight explains quite a lot of behavioural changes during the last 2 years.
He is now able to eat without choking, walk and talk (in the afternoon it becomes more blurry) and read and hear again (selectively, of course!

) and even the handwriting becomes almost readable, still improving.
The physical and other rehab therapy plus the medications help a lot as does his new mindset, and we look to the future with confidence and optimism.
We are grateful and happy as it is, as it could have been much worse.
