- What happened that brought you into the hospital?
Did you develop weakness?
Do you remember what first brought you into the hospital?
- Yes the fact that I have had a stroke.
- But what were the symptoms that you had for that stroke?
- Well, I lost control of my left arm totally.
- Yes.
- It was dragging away.
- How is your left arm now?
- Fine.
- Is it fine?
- Yeah. - It's not weak?
- Not like it was.
- How much are you able to do with your left arm?
- Just about anything I need to do.
- Almost anything you need to do, okay.
Well, okay.
Let's try something here.
I want you to look over here at me
and I want you to tell me,
now look at me, look at my nose.
Do you see my hand wiggling?
- Yes.
- Okay now look at me.
Do you see a hand wiggling now?
- No.
- You do not, tell me when you see it.
- I see it.
- Now look at me,
Tell me when you see a hand wiggle.
You see it now.
Can you tell me again when you see it wiggle.
- Okay.
You're crazier to look at.
- Thank you.
Do you see a wiggling now?
- No.
There it is.
- Alright, now let's just see what you can do with that arm.
Can you lift your arm up off of you?
- Yes.
- Would you do that for me now?
- I gotta concentrate, it's harder to do.
- Turn that down just for a moment
I'm just gonna be a few minutes thank you.
Now, can you repeat a little louder.
You are able to bring your arm up off of you?
- Yes.
- Okay yes.
- I have to concentrate.
Can you do that right now?
Touch me with your right arm.
Good, now touch me with your left arm.
- Possibly I can move it.
- I see, Okay.
Can you show me your teeth.
Great, close your eyes,
and wrinkle up your forehead.
Look way up here at the scene.
Okay, relax.
Now I'm gonna bring your head here
and bring your eyes way up.
Good, very good.
And just let your arm relax on both sides.
There's some increased tone here.
Isn't there some spasticity.
Is that sore when I move that?
I'm sorry.
I'm gonna take a look and see,
if the leg is moving.
Can you straighten this leg out?
- Sure. - The right one.
- Yeah.
(coughing)
It's all right if I uncover your feet?
And I'm going to scratch the bottom of your foot here.
Scratch the bottom of your foot here a little bit.
Are you able to to lift up this right leg
for me a little bit?
Good, can you keep it out straight?
Hold it up, don't let me push it down,
Hold it, hold it way up.
That's it, good.
Bring your toes up toward you.
That's great.
Can you bring your toes up on this side?
On the left side?
Is the left leg working okay?
- Not like the right.
- Lift this leg up here a little bit.
I'm gonna just, relax this leg, just let it flop.
It's got nice loose tone.
- The right one spasms occasionally.
- The right one or the left one?
- The left
- The left one doesn't drag.
Okay, almost done.
I'm just gonna get your head up
and check your reflexes.
(knocking on the door)
- Come in.
- It jumps a little bit more on that left, doesn't it?
- [Nurse] You have everything all packed already?
- [Family Member] -Yes I do
Everything's done? Everything out of the closet?
- [Family Member] I think my daughter took care of it.
- [Doctor] Okay.
