A stroke can have lasting affects on a patient, and one of the hardest things for them can be getting back into a daily routine. That includes returning to work.
Medical experts say it can be a process, one that needs a strong partnership between the patient, their employer and the patient's doctor.
Another big step is for the patient to understand their restrictions and be allowed to slowly get back into the swing of things.
Meanwhile, medical experts say surgeons now have a promising new tool to help stop strokes from killing people.
It's a tiny device called a "trevo" and was just approved by the FDA. Doctors say it helps with blood clots by using a delicate mesh that expands through a clot immediately at a time when minutes can mean the difference between life and death.
