วีดีโอ

I ve been waiting for a video for months and today I saw I missed two, though notifications are on (cant explain how it happened, but I have a brain damage😄. Glad to see you are okay. I thought something bad happened to you. Welcome. Cant wait to see how you're breaking another 10000 barriers. Meanwhile I'm breaking mine thanks to the courage you gave me once upon a time.

No way that’s so cool. I had a stroke during brain surgery when I was six and now my left hand doesn’t work. You helped me so much.

Hey shaelyn. Even i type with one hand because of some congenital disorder. It was quite insightful to watch your video, and the technique you use. Unlike you, I allow my fingers to flow ariound the keyboard more freely, so i get a larger areas of keys to cover, hence my speed is like 5ish points more than yours on an average. Although i still struggle to not make any typos lol. But i am trying to work on it, lets see.

I also only use my right arm 😅

Forgot to comment …always fun celebrating my babes birthdays !!! Cheers!!! To many more birthday years 🎉🥂🍾

It is hard to move the arm sometimes. I exercised my left arm after I got vaccinated and fully vaccinated and I was brave!! But sometimes I had a little bit of the T-rex arm, but I’m okay and super duper!!

AZ looked amazing :)

Shaelyn you shoould do a video about fatigue and if you had it during your recovery. I also suffered a vertebral artery dissection which caused a ischemic stroke in my cerebellum. Struggling with fatigue right now but the dissection resolved.

Great 😊

I was worrying about how you've been doing! I'm sorry that you've been going through so much. I'm glad that you seem to be doing pretty well. Congratulations on the new job and starting school!

Ummmmm You stole my name

We have the same nameeeeee😊

My dr keeps harrassing me to get a colonoscopy. I hate her..

Use robertic gloves

You’re recovering and getting your life back to a great new normal. I am still totally traumatized by my stroke too. You’re phenomenal and you deserve a great partner. I am jealous you’re working. I am aiming for it but it’s still a ways out. I miss running my business and my employees.. Keep posting I use some of your tips/tricks…

I hope your colonoscopy went great,im 49 and i just got my first one this morning,the prep was terrible but finally i finished it.i got my colonoscopy done awake,it hurt like major gas but i got it over with.i hope youre doing great and continue to take care og yourself❤.

another hemi girlie! it did not turn out as nice as yours but not bad!

Hyper selective neurectomy is a surgery for spasticity. With your affected hand- do you have any movement? Is it functional at all?

I was missing your videos! Welcome back!!

❤

My colonoscopy is tomorrow at 8:30am omg the prep solution it's soo gross! Almost threw up twice had to drink every 20 mins instead of 10 mins I'm done with the first step drinking the remaining 1/4 at 2:30am I'm soo hungry lol

Great to see you back on TH-cam, and sorry to hear about the challenging things youve had to go through in the past half year or so with your personal life. Wishing you all the best with your new job! Congrats and i hope its been going well! I guess ive been lucky in that i dont really hear any verbal attacks with my hemiplegia. I do constantly see ppl staring, but regardless, im not trying to prove anything. I know i had a stroke, and i know i live with this disability. Doesnt really matter to me what other ppl think. Thanks for putting yourself out there and sharing about your life with hemiplegia. I honestly dont know anyone else dealing with this disability, so its really cool to see that someone else gets the things i go through too. Looking forward to your next vid

Welcome back! I'm so sorry to hear about your divorce and congratulations on the new job. To new beginnings 🍾

glad your back :) .. but I've seen you lol ... cheers to the new job ... and a great video on the city :)

It’s so nice to hear from you!! I’m so sorry about your divorce & everything you’ve been going through. I’m here for you if you need support ❤️‍🩹

You fail already, eating subway is garbage.

My daughter is hemiplegic. She is only 4 but I always wonder what the future holds for challenges. Watching your videos has help ease some of my anxiety. Thank you

Kinda seems like you tapped out whenever it got frustrating though? CIT only really works if the working arm is constrained and you have to actually force your weaker side to be functional.

Thanks for sharing. It sounds more like tone/spasticity/weakness in the arm and hand rather than being paralyzed. Your brain seems to have some connection, it seems to need a jump start. I'm going through the same thing and the motor control lab at my rehab is devising a plan specifically for my needs. Heat and putting your hand in hot/freezing cold water may help try to wake up the hand. You can also try also try tying a water bottle or a small weight to your hand to try to build strength. There's also a splint called the stretch that can help straighten your wrist to release some of that tone. Some doctors may also prescribe Baclefon medication or increase it if you are already taking it, to reduce the tone. I'm coming up on 2 years post. I can move my arm a little bit and make a fist. I had a brain bleed in September of 2022, due to an AVM. I hope you make a full recovery.

I just had mine done and really those prep stuff you have to drink omw is no joke.

My problem is i have to do it all alone, all the way up to the time to leave for procedure , I've done it twice before many years in-between but always had support, oh well, im gonna keep plugging away, I'm, at the moment, i have tomorrow for the clear liquid day , and i go on Thursday at 3pm is my procedure, i hope i get through ok I don't remember in the past getting cold, so I'll wear sweats 😂🎉😢

There is a pill. You need prescription. I have no idea why we aren’t given the option. I didn’t find that out until the day before I was starting the prep. I’m drinking now for the procedure tomorrow. It’s absolutely terrible. The way I’m prescribed it is I drink half of it one day and next morning drink rest of it. It taste so bad. I had Gatorade to chase it. I started going 30 min after drinking. When I was done with the half of the jug I have bern going non stop. I’ just sat on toilet for 30 min lol. I used a straw and just chugged it then chased it with Gatorade. I don’t know how I’m going to drink the other half at 6 am and I have to finish it by 8 am. I would suggest taking laxitives the day before and the day of with it. Start your clear liquid two days before ( if you can ) . My jug came with lemon flavor packet. You can mix Gatorade with it. Just remember it can’t be purple , red or blue Gatorade. Use the lemon / lime Gatorade. I thjnk you can even put in yellow crystal light. It just can’t be red , blue or purple colors. I got cold drinking it and I got a headache. Good luck yo those of you about to do this. And ask your dr about the prescription pill instead of drinking !

Did you stop with TH-cam??😢😢😢😢

I have right side hemiplegia. Im in my 30s, but i remember getting botox when i was a teenager. I remember my arm definitely felt a lot less tense, but being a teenager, I dont remember taking full advantage of doing pt and everything. On the other hand though, over the past 2 years, ive been consistently going to the gym and doing cardio and weight training, and that has 100% made my arm less tense and also built muscle. Just wanted to say thanks as well for all the vids you post. I dont know anyone with hemiplegia so its refreshing to hear people who go through similar experiences. And i get the muscle spasm when you got the needle. I dont think it was when i got botox, but just a regular blood draw, when i didnt realize this was a thing, when the needle went inside, my affected arm just started shaking like i was scared or something.

I was born with mild spastic hempaleia cerebral palsy. When I got to the age of 34 I suffered hemiplegia. To both arm and leg. My employer was not tolerant to it, asked to make more of an effort,to keep up. I got medical termination. I am now better off. I try to use my left arm, and leg. I am now 58, and I go to a gym to exercise every muscle I can work. My right side takes over, and I feel very vulnerable, especially if in a bar and a fight may break out, because I rely on my right side to defend me. Keep trying to use the left hand, it's hard I know, but the rewards for the effort is priceless.

your physcio therapist is a fucking idiot who doesnt understand the severity of your hemiplegia.

I have left side hemiplegia from a stroke at birth. I use whey protein to help me retain muscle and yin yoga to help stretch out my muscles

I love you. You're an inspiration to us <3 keeps us motivated to keep living <3

Don't worry about the poop talk S--t happens .😂😂😂 .

lol i suffered a stroke4motnths ago im glad i found you

Just had an endoscope and colonoscope yesterday n believe me the prep is the worst of all! Bleeegghhhh!

❤

Is everything all right (or at least left) with you? You haven't posted for a couple of months. Hope you are good!
