My mother-in-law seems to have had a mild stroke.  She has dementia and the physical therapist believes she may have had a stroke.  She has an appointment with the doctor tomorrow.  Do you think she will be hospitalized?  If so, what is the usual hospital stay for mild stroke patients?
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your mothers-in-law symptoms. Symptoms of a mild stroke include speech disturbances, facial weakness, weakness or arm or leg, severe headache or imbalance while walking. The diagnosis of stroke can be confirmed by doing an MRI scan of brain. Aspirin tablets would be helpful in preventing recurrence of stroke. Hospitalisation for a mild stroke would be for 2-3 days. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/
