Ever since my mother had an hemorrhagic stroke, she’s been really short. She never asks me any questions, or speaks full sentences. If I ask her, “How are you?”, she’ll respond “good” and she’ll stay silent the entire call unless you ask her a question or say something. She always says the same 3 phrases too, “just like that,” “I’ll let you go”( when she wants to hang up) or “yes” what may be causing this? Can this be fixed?
As far as 'fixing' the issue, you'd need to speak to her doctor but I wouldn't hold out much hope for that. Consider that your mom is now working with what she has, post stroke, and doing the best she can. Has she had any therapy afterward?
Best of luck
edit: Neuroplasticity there is hope. Look it up.
Are you talking to her only on the phone? Are you talking to her in person?
"Fixed" is relative, against the person's own physical problems-if any.
I would discuss your concerns with her care team.
