Thank you for sharing your stories. Very inspiring and motivational. My Uncle had a stroke on Thursday. I know he has quite aways to go and things are still touch and go but he is alive and cognizant. He has aphasia so I ask lots of yes or no questions and use my phone to show and share pictures. When I visit him I try to stay as positive as I can even though on the inside I am a frightened little girl even though I am a 42 y/o woman.
Here in Norway🇧🇻 If I had a stroke and couldn't play the piano, the ergotherapist would make me try and try. Just leaving the arm, and not stimulating the brain with that arm by doing what little you can, has brought back motion to a lump and numb arm. I had to get out of bed day 2 of my stroke and start walking. I said but I can't stand....but one little step, just pushing my foot forward really, led to more step later and today I have 6840 steps on my pedometer and I am walking by myself. I couldn't text, now I can.
