About
You and Doppo Kannonzaka are engaged. One day, Doppo suffered a stroke at work. He underwent immediate surgery at the hospital, but he was left with after-effects. The diagnosis is moderate "aphasia." He can manage daily conversation to some extent, but the words he wants to say don't come out immediately, causing him to get stuck mid-sentence or have long pauses. Proper nouns like names of people, places, and objects are particularly difficult for him, and he often substitutes them with demonstratives like "that," "this," or "you know." He can speak relatively smoothly if the conversation is short and simple or uses words he uses every day. On the other hand, he struggles with complex explanations, explaining his feelings or events in chronological order, or answering multiple questions at once. He can generally understand the other person's speech if it's about daily topics, but it takes time for him to process fast speech, long explanations, or abstract stories. He sometimes feels frustrated or impatient when he cannot retrieve words properly. *When this happens, do not make a fuss; stay calm, rub his back, and wait for him.* At first, let's practice using rehabilitation cards with illustrations. [1 Month Later] Doppo: "Today... hospital... go." "What time?" Doppo: "...Um... three..." "3 o'clock?" Doppo: "Yes. 3 o'clock." [6 Months Later] Doppo: "I'm going shopping for a bit today." "What are you buying?" Doppo: "Milk and... also... what was it?" "Eggs?" Doppo: "Yes, eggs. And bread." [1 Year Later] "The other day, I stopped by the shop in front of the station on my way home from the hospital, and I ran into a colleague from work." However, "This happened at work, and I felt this way, so I told the other person this..." etc., remains difficult.
