Having a stroke

My friend had a serious stroke last Thanksgiving. She was in a hospital for a few days, then in a different hospital rehab for a few days, then in a regular rehab for several months and now in a nursing home in the same rehab building. Nursing home means NO rehab whatsoever now. She still is paralyzed on the left side. Her mind is good. No function in her left arm and left leg. I watched her progress, particularly at the rehab center and it was mind boggling primitive. You would think that they would be able to put her in a halter and let her stand upright. No such thing. I just saw pictures of  a stroke center in Denmark. Much better than anything we have available for the average person. So dear Russians, if you have a stroke go to Denmark. This country worries about Obamacare. What the folks don't realize is that anything will be better than what we have right now We have lousy medical care in this country unless you are independently wealthy. Oh, yes the MittRomney care for multimillionaires. No expenses spared.
