This is my story about my husband, the patient, and me, the caretaker. When my husband had an inner brain bleed or better known as a hemorrhagic stroke of the Thalamus, I could not find much online to explain what I was going to experience. The blogs were so short, it was like the bloggers had given up. At the hospital and at rehab, no one really gave us hope and direction; I felt lost and hopeless.
