@@HowIConqueredStroke I love ❤️ you thank you ! My mother had and is very dear and not motivated it’s very hard .. you are encouraging Rick, i will show her tomorrow. 👍🏽🙏🏽
I am weeping. I'm 72. i had several mini strokes in 2019 that i dealt with and put behind me fairly easily. Then in Oct. of 2022 i had the big one. On top of that the following June i fell out the door of my van and landeod on top of my head breaking my neck in 3 places and 4 ribs. This past year has been an absolute nightmare. All alone with no one to call or any help from anyone, i have barely managed to keep myself fed and alive. My home is a disgusting place. It makes me think of Jackie Kennedy's aunt and cousin ,, Big and Little Edie, and how they lived at Grey Garden. I'm typing this using my right index finger only. My left hand is useless. I can't speak or walk. But this man has given me the hope I need to start fighting back. I WILL NOT give in to stroke! i want my life back.
I am so sorry you are dealing with so much! On every level.... Stories like yours give the motivation to give these messages of hope. I wish you all the best!
@@DFWAuto_Hack Thank you so very much. It's the kindness from people such as you that helps to promote the determination to survive and to thrive. AND I AM!
I nearly lost my dad to a massive stroke a week ago, and I'm watching everything I can to educate myself and encourage him. He is sad and his journey is just beginning, but I will tell you the same thing I told him. When everyone thought all was lost, he found the strength in himself to pull through in his absolute darkest hour, whether he knew it or not. That strength and will is in there. Use it for recovery and hope. I'm so sorry you're facing this hardship alone ❤ Live you best life, have faith and find joy in the little things. Know I'm cheering for you x
Thank you so very much for sharing. My dear sister, 48, just woke up on day 10 yesterday from an aneurysm. Thank you for giving me hope that she can recover 🙏🏻
Like most things in life, nothing is guaranteed either way. I made this series of videos to show all is not necessarily lost either. I wish for her the best recovery possible!
Never give up, they don't know shit, my father in law got his leg back and arm after 2 years of no movement,I just had a stroke 2 months ago after heart surgery I'm 44 left arm and leg affected while having a bowel movement a few days ago my first one without suppositories I noticed hand closing with each contraction then I tried moving my toes and got movement their too it's like everything woke up together never give up push yourself the extra 10% you can do it and g😢 movement
It made me cry seeing you playing the guitar. I had a massive crippling stroke in 2021. Despite intensive rehabilitation, I still have many deficits. I couldnt eat, talk, walk or use my left arm and hand. I was told I will have thise lifrlong disabilities. I can properly eat now? Talk and walk with a brace and cane but no left function still. It is difficult but I let my faith lead me to slow but at least moving forward ecovery. Some days I feel hopeless like nothing is happening, but I refuse to remain broken. I am teying to write a book about my experience to motivate myself that Im not totally useless. I playvmusical instruments and really miss doing so. I love cooking too and quite creative with my hands, painting, crochet, sewing. I want to exercise my hand but it can't do anything, just closed all the time. I am excited to learn exercises you made to recover. Im glad to find this channel. Thank you for osting
I truly hope you get some functionality with your hand. For some of us it takes years and I realize you sometimes fall into the depths of despair. Keep at it and set your goals to small, easily digestible bits.
I'm glad i came across your blog..My 26 yr old son suffered a hemorrhagic brain stroke 9 months ago. He is fighting with all he has, he cannot speak yet but is getting speech therapy..he started to move his right hand & arm a little in rt. Leg & foot. With a lot of faith, hard work & testimonies like yours, HE WILL RECOVER HIS LIFE 🙏❤ ,
I am glad to have come across your video. It has been 14 years since my stroke that caused paralysis of my left side. With physical therapy, I was able to relearn basic movements, but after a few months my insurance stopped paying for therapy because they determined I had reached my plateau and will no longer have progress. Thankfully my family has been encouraging me to keep moving. Your video has inspired me to not give up. Thank you for giving me hope.
First of all, thank you for your first hand experience about stroke. I'm quite fortunate to have viewed your vlog because it inspires me a great deal. Like you, as a hemorrhagic stroke victim barely 3 years ago, I can't help but share my struggle how I was able to overcome it gradually. Only one thing I am most grateful of is my faith in the Lord.

As long as there is hope, there is life. Keep safe and may God bless you.
Thank you for your video. I listen to the hope in your voice. I had my stroke two and a half years ago. I am improving but it's 3 steps forward , 2 steps back but I am improving. God bless you sir 😂
Good advice Gumba! Im 5 months after my stroke Im 71. I had to speed up your pod cast due to my impatience.Keep up the fight. I have found my trust in the Lord Jesus Christ has been my anchor. Capeesh. CIAO ,mike Viscome
I have not had a stroke, however my sister-in-law did in June just last month & I have been researching to learn to help her & show her these video's to keep going. Thank you for sharing your experiences & God Bless you.
Thank you so much. I had a stroke two years ago. I still cannot walk without a Rollator, but you have given me motivation to keep going at it. I suffer e enormous fatigue but each day I try and do a little more. I am sick to death of having to sleep, you are a great inspiration thank you once more!
Thank you so much brother. You are definitely an inspiration in this moment. Blessings and motivation to anyone and their families going through this situation. I love you guys!!!
I'm 71 and just two weeks ago had a stroke. I arrived soon enough to receive a clot busting drug and have suffered very little after three days in ICU and two more in recovery. I have very small, insignificant side effects compared to most stroke patients, although I am now concerned about having another stroke as the first showed me how quickly and easily a stroke can happen. Thank you for telling your story and your positive words.
This is awesome!!! I had my stroke the same place as yours 2 years ago at 55. I could not move the whole right side either. I’m still numb. I went from a wheelchair to walker to cane. I now walk with a limp. I get brain fog when I even get home from church I’m exhausted. I’m like you I try to use my right hand. I’m right handed. I even had to get up off the ground in rehab with my right leg. No feeling but I can move the whole side now. I have strange sensations on this side. I wonder if the feeling will ever return. Thanks for the hope. God bless you

Hi, thanks for this video. You’re being watched in Germany by me right now. I had my stroke one year ago and my arm is still not moving and it’s getting more difficult to get doctors prescription for therapie removed so it’s tough but thanks for this positive message.
Thank you so much for the kind words. It is difficult to relive my stroke through these videos but when I think back and remember how lost I was, I realized I could not leave my message without giving some measure of hope to others. You are my inspiration. I truly hope that you have the best recovery possible!
You are a very brave man. I commend you on your attitude and progress. I had a serious stroke 2 yrs ago. I am struggling. Today is a bad day I must admit. Been in bed most of the day. I can’t walk unaided. I love your story about the lady in Italy. Thank-you.
Love this video- I had my " mild" stoke the DAY OF MY QUINTUPLE BYPASS and it took me a couple of months to stop being pissed off and depressed am doing better but the work never stops.I still get easily confused 6 months later
I’m 59 had a stroke 6 months ago, I’m recovering pretty well,therapy 3 times a week was in wheelchair was on walker now with cane it was a long hard battle and still is but I’m not giving up
Im gonna keep watching but after 4yrs of suffering, my only hope is to have the end to this misery, i have been in phys therapy all these years, still no use of left arm, no walk, no driving, independence is gone, i just want the end to this suffwring
You have had it pretty rough. I truly hope you see some relief. For some things it took years. I didn't start to feel major improvement for ten years. Some things I will never get back but I learned to accept that. I can only wish you the warmest encouragement.
I am sorry you are suffering. I have some comments from people who started to improve after 10 years. Unfortunately, every stroke is different in some way. Here is hoping.
Good to hear the story of someone many years past their stroke. I’m coming up on a year (age 55) and feel very lucky in some ways but also impatient for more progress. My left side was wiped out but no speech or cognitive impacts. I’m also a guitar player and was fortunate to get full recovery in the arm within a few months. The leg is taking much longer. I can walk but pretty badly, especially in public. Six months ago I could already walk pretty badly, so it’s easy to feel like I’m not making much progress. I really miss being able to move stuff around the house or take care of the yard. But I’ve never gotten really down, and generally feel pretty lucky. I quit golf a long time ago but have thought about hitting balls again just to challenge my body.
My right side was so devastated that I didn't have the courage to look at my guitar for years. I would cry to think of how much I had lost That you were able to soon play again is so wonderful!
@@robertowalla6718 It’s not much of a story. I spent seven weeks in rehab hospitals working on my left arm and leg, which were both paralyzed after my stroke. I started getting some leg motion in the second week. The arm started moving in about week four, and I began trying to play piano and guitar shortly after that. My technique was rough at first but I think it was good therapy, both physically and mentally. My therapists were using some e-stim (electrical) devices on my arm, plus various exercises and challenges like grasping and moving objects. Did any of that matter? No idea. Possibly my arm was just going to heal on its own and my leg wasn’t. It has definitely made my post-stroke life more tolerable, since I practice a lot and am always checking out new guitar gear. Good luck to you.
I had my brainstem stroke in feb. 2017 and i was then 49 years old. I couldt not believe, what had happened to my. I am paralyzed on my right side also. Thank you of posting your experience.
Hopefully you will show some improvement of some sort. I had an uncle who had a stroke before mine and he was more affected in areas than I and vice versa. Don't loose heart. Don't write yourself off. We are rooting for you!
I had stroke too at about 71. Doesn't affect me too much, just weak right foot and can't walk great distances nor drive. Probably could drive but expensive test. I have CHF too. The lady might have been an angel. I read a story about a pilot who was shot down in Vietnam war and spent 12 months in hospital with many operations. He went on to become a test pilot. I don't think I have any intellectual disability; I put this down to good genes viz an uncle had an honorary doctorate of law. I could only type 20 wpm in the past, at my best. Milla gracias Ricardo.
I I I have a stroke last November 2023 s turning 3 months this coming February but now I'm dealing anxiety everyday I'm worried everything about my health
PSE treatment is the best treatment to get to the best possible outcome. People are being helped immensely by the treatment. Watch any video of the inventor’s healing people and be amazed ❤
The doctor told me I "probably had a TIA" two weeks ago. I am almost able to stand without holding on, but my doctor isn't doing anything for me. I'm scared of dying because no one is talking to me. I am an active 70 year old who has lost 56 pounds and got off all meds in the past 8 months so I'm not ready to curl up yet. Thank you.
You have a tough situation... It is difficult for a stroke survivor to think straight and clearly. Hit every avenue seeking help and advice from therapists at the hospital who can put you in contact with social services to family and friends. I hope this bad period in your life passes. Best wishes!
In 2004, I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. In 2020 I suffered a stroke while taking Eliquis, a blood thinner, morning and night. My stroke affected my left side. I continue my recovery every day. Initially, I was wheelchair bound, now I walk with a cane. My fight continues every minute of every day. Someone told me that they would rather have a stroke than Parkinson's. Let me tell you, having experienced both, I will take Parkinson's any day.
My brother had a double stroke late November last year, followed by two strokes in April. His balance is badly affected. Please can you tell me whether your balance was affected and if so, how long did it take for you to regain your sense of balance? My brother had no physiotherapy until recently as his case was badly managed where he lived before and then when he moved he was on a 12 week waiting list. Even then, the physiotherapist only looked at his balance, ignoring everything else, now he has subluxation of the shoulder and I had to call her back because of this.
I give my full story in the videos but I was ambulatory in six months. My balance was affected for about a year severely but 20 years later it is less and less but it is still affected. I tell the story of my balance and exercises in the video about golf. Please subscribe if you have not already. I wish him well.
🎉I had surgery to clamp a brain anyerism and had a stroke affected my left side I am left handed. I can't write anymore and everything is difficult. I can walk but wobbly.

I address the spasticity issue in Episode 6. But the short answer for typing was from not being able to move the limb at all to starting to try typing at 5 words per minute at roughly 3 or so months to 30 words after a year. th-cam.com/video/J2oSppEitXc/w-d-xo.html&si=2HJzfXRFdZTF964-
I had my stroke in 2011, I couldn't talk or use fingers in my right hand I couldn't count change. Now can talk but have aphasia. I can paint and play the piano but I cannot do trills my fingers are nimble enough. I am 81 in March. I found that when you ejaculate the brain puts dopamine? in your blood that keeps you from having suicidal thoughts.
Hi Rick, could you tell me what area of the brain your stroke effected? And also how much of your brain was impacted? According to doctors, what was your initial diagnosis? Thanks for any info you can pass along.
My bff had his l1 days ago. No speech and only moves hands and feet. We r in seperate continents and I dont know his family. I'm not next of kin and I dont get told much. He has lost his ability to communicate with me and I am devastated. I have no passport nor means to see him. Thank u so my bad h for giving me hope. I will send this into his messenger so so eone can show him. I have no idea where his phone is. Bless you.
I'm 56, I'm crying. I'm ok had my stroke 11 29 22. My left side blood clot 5 hours. I'm really bad in my mind, I can walk . But my brain is almost gone

I came back from being unable to speak to putting out stroke videos. I wish you the best recovery possible! Be patient...th-cam.com/video/-QHg5zmT9-s/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CLc6PK7eiWM2cG-R
Every stroke, unfortunately, is different to some degree. I don't know the circumstances but I can only hope you see, with work, improvement. It took me 20 years to get to the stage at which I made the videos. Here is wishing him all the best possible recovery.
I had a stroke 3 months ago. It came out of nowhere. I have trouble with language. The most troubling thing is they don't know why I had the stroke and I'm scared to death I'll have another one.
I can understand.. Even though they did enough tests to find out why, there will always be the fear of having another.. at least I have such a fear. Best wishes to you!
1 yr post echeamic stroke..what if you lost all,no med insurance no means to physio.still paralyzed on left side....... zin S A no help.... Advice pls..... 75 yr old widow....😢
You certainly are in a difficult situation. I know nothing about your personal situation and it seems more complicated than is usual but I would start with a social worker to see what government programs exist to help people in your situation? I can only wish you the best.
@@richardmweene1345 I have regained everything but I worked at it for years and in is not the same level as before... Maybe 80 percent on the affected side?
I had a bad stroke in 2022 stem was also affected, had a brain infection and corona i want to try eternacept but dont have the money to fly to florida iam trying to get this here in Germany check out the treatment with eternacept. all the best awfull the pain and suufering. i wish everone well its a menace to humanity and those who want was should all go to prison all of them, anyway i hope eternacept is the key

Hi Rick
Thank you for sharing you experience
It gives me hop and inspiration to carry on
While I was looking for information I was amazed of the number of strokes per year
We are not alone
IAfter 2 years I live alone in my appartment withe some household-help
I use a foot-brace to lift my foot and use a nordic walking stick to keep my balance
My hoarse voice is sometimes anoying
This is caused by the intubation during coma
Now I have a small space between my vocal cords
I have to check if a surgeon can put them back together
to everyone reading this:
Keep practicing until you regain your mobilityagain
and then give hope to the people who need it

thank you my friend, I had been thinking how I could ever type again, and you are an inspiration!
It is hard but at least you see it is possible! Best wishes of luck to you.
You are a very brave man. I commend you on your attitude and progress. I had a serious stroke 2 yrs ago. I am struggling. Today is a bad day I must admit. Been in bed most of the day. I can’t walk unaided. I love your story about the lady in Italy. Thank-you.
I wish you all the best in your recovery... Don't give in to stroke!
thanks, you made my day.
You're welcome
Love this video- I had my " mild" stoke the DAY OF MY QUINTUPLE BYPASS and it took me a couple of months to stop being pissed off and depressed am doing better but the work never stops.I still get easily confused 6 months later
I’m 59 had a stroke 6 months ago, I’m recovering pretty well,therapy 3 times a week was in wheelchair was on walker now with cane it was a long hard battle and still is but I’m not giving up
Thanks, Keep it up.
Im gonna keep watching but after 4yrs of suffering, my only hope is to have the end to this misery, i have been in phys therapy all these years, still no use of left arm, no walk, no driving, independence is gone, i just want the end to this suffwring
You have had it pretty rough. I truly hope you see some relief. For some things it took years. I didn't start to feel major improvement for ten years. Some things I will never get back but I learned to accept that. I can only wish you the warmest encouragement.
👍Jan 2020. 70 yrs. Old
Sorry to hear that. I can only wish you the best!
@@HowIConqueredStrokez
I am sorry you are suffering. I have some comments from people who started to improve after 10 years. Unfortunately, every stroke is different in some way. Here is hoping.
Youre so testimony inspired me so much...
Your comment pleases me greatly. I wish you all the best.
Powerful
Good to hear the story of someone many years past their stroke. I’m coming up on a year (age 55) and feel very lucky in some ways but also impatient for more progress. My left side was wiped out but no speech or cognitive impacts. I’m also a guitar player and was fortunate to get full recovery in the arm within a few months. The leg is taking much longer. I can walk but pretty badly, especially in public. Six months ago I could already walk pretty badly, so it’s easy to feel like I’m not making much progress. I really miss being able to move stuff around the house or take care of the yard. But I’ve never gotten really down, and generally feel pretty lucky. I quit golf a long time ago but have thought about hitting balls again just to challenge my body.
My right side was so devastated that I didn't have the courage to look at my guitar for years. I would cry to think of how much I had lost
That you were able to soon play again is so wonderful!
To have the full use of both hands is what I miss the most.
I too had a stroke, and am a classical guitar player. Please tell me your experience.
@@robertowalla6718 It’s not much of a story. I spent seven weeks in rehab hospitals working on my left arm and leg, which were both paralyzed after my stroke. I started getting some leg motion in the second week. The arm started moving in about week four, and I began trying to play piano and guitar shortly after that. My technique was rough at first but I think it was good therapy, both physically and mentally. My therapists were using some e-stim (electrical) devices on my arm, plus various exercises and challenges like grasping and moving objects. Did any of that matter? No idea. Possibly my arm was just going to heal on its own and my leg wasn’t. It has definitely made my post-stroke life more tolerable, since I practice a lot and am always checking out new guitar gear. Good luck to you.
@@robertowalla6718 My classical guitar story is covered in an episode of my vlog. I believe number six
I had my brainstem stroke in feb. 2017 and i was then 49 years old. I couldt not believe, what had happened to my. I am paralyzed on my right side also. Thank you of posting your experience.
I truly hope you have the best recovery possible!
So you're able to talk and write but paralyzed . My brother is also 49. He had a left sided stroke. His right side was effected.
Hopefully you will show some improvement of some sort. I had an uncle who had a stroke before mine and he was more affected in areas than I and vice versa. Don't loose heart. Don't write yourself off. We are rooting for you!
Liked and subscribed im one year post and fighting every day
Thank you very inspiring
I hope for your continual improvement!
hoping I will be healed
Hoping for you too! Best wishes!
I had stroke too at about 71. Doesn't affect me too much, just weak right foot and can't walk great distances nor drive. Probably could drive but expensive test. I have CHF too. The lady might have been an angel. I read a story about a pilot who was shot down in Vietnam war and spent 12 months in hospital with many operations. He went on to become a test pilot. I don't think I have any intellectual disability; I put this down to good genes viz an uncle had an honorary doctorate of law. I could only type 20 wpm in the past, at my best. Milla gracias Ricardo.
I truly hope you continue to improve! Best wishes, Rick
I I I have a stroke last November 2023 s turning 3 months this coming February but now I'm dealing anxiety everyday I'm worried everything about my health
Thank you.. It is a scary time in your life. It takes a couple of years for that fear to lessen! All the best hopes for your recovery!
Thank you had two strokes last summer..
I hope that these videos help. Best wishes!
@@Mikegees Don't give up... I am rooting for you!
PSE treatment is the best treatment to get to the best possible outcome. People are being helped immensely by the treatment. Watch any video of the inventor’s healing people and be amazed ❤
❤️
The doctor told me I "probably had a TIA" two weeks ago. I am almost able to stand without holding on, but my doctor isn't doing anything for me. I'm scared of dying because no one is talking to me. I am an active 70 year old who has lost 56 pounds and got off all meds in the past 8 months so I'm not ready to curl up yet. Thank you.
I was 39 when I doctor screwed up causing 4 strokes in 90 seconds. I turned 52 today and my 13th Strokeversary is coming up in December.
That is really unfortunate. All the best to you for a speedy recovery.
Omg! IM 56 at this time also and I am afraid. I am not financially ok for this at this time.
You have a tough situation... It is difficult for a stroke survivor to think straight and clearly. Hit every avenue seeking help and advice from therapists at the hospital who can put you in contact with social services to family and friends. I hope this bad period in your life passes. Best wishes!
I was the same, i had my stroke lying on my back and i felt like i was in a completely dark and helpless nightmare, hopeless and degenerate.
😢 i’m sure this is my worst nightmare 😮
May you get through the worst!
In 2004, I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. In 2020 I suffered a stroke while taking Eliquis, a blood thinner, morning and night. My stroke affected my left side. I continue my recovery every day. Initially, I was wheelchair bound, now I walk with a cane. My fight continues every minute of every day. Someone told me that they would rather have a stroke than Parkinson's. Let me tell you, having experienced both, I will take Parkinson's any day.
What a story! I wish you the best recovery possible.
My brother had a double stroke late November last year, followed by two strokes in April. His balance is badly affected. Please can you tell me whether your balance was affected and if so, how long did it take for you to regain your sense of balance? My brother had no physiotherapy until recently as his case was badly managed where he lived before and then when he moved he was on a 12 week waiting list. Even then, the physiotherapist only looked at his balance, ignoring everything else, now he has subluxation of the shoulder and I had to call her back because of this.
I give my full story in the videos but I was ambulatory in six months. My balance was affected for about a year severely but 20 years later it is less and less but it is still affected. I tell the story of my balance and exercises in the video about golf. Please subscribe if you have not already. I wish him well.
@@HowIConqueredStroke Thank you. Your videos give a lot of hope. :)

Hello
I’m curious if you had spasticity …and about how long it was until you started to use your right hand to type?
I address the spasticity issue in Episode 6. But the short answer for typing was from not being able to move the limb at all to starting to try typing at 5 words per minute at roughly 3 or so months to 30 words after a year. th-cam.com/video/J2oSppEitXc/w-d-xo.html&si=2HJzfXRFdZTF964-
I had my stroke in 2011, I couldn't talk or use fingers in my right hand I couldn't count change.
Now can talk but have aphasia. I can paint and play the piano but I cannot do trills my fingers are nimble enough. I am 81 in March. I found that when you ejaculate the brain puts dopamine? in your blood that keeps you from having suicidal thoughts.
Yes, after years of practice I am able to do an arpeggio but it is painfully slow!
Hi Rick, could you tell me what area of the brain your stroke effected? And also how much of your brain was impacted? According to doctors, what was your initial diagnosis? Thanks for any info you can pass along.
A doctor estimated I lost 1/3rd of my brain. The areas of muscle coordination, speech and memory were impacted. Hearing and eyesight were spared. .
Episode 3 explains how the stroke happened etc
My bff had his l1 days ago. No speech and only moves hands and feet. We r in seperate continents and I dont know his family. I'm not next of kin and I dont get told much. He has lost his ability to communicate with me and I am devastated. I have no passport nor means to see him. Thank u so my bad h for giving me hope. I will send this into his messenger so so eone can show him. I have no idea where his phone is. Bless you.
My message is there is hope if you work at recovery. I hope that he recovers.
I'm 56, I'm crying. I'm ok had my stroke 11 29 22. My left side blood clot 5 hours. I'm really bad in my mind, I can walk . But my brain is almost gone
I have been there. I was at first at mess. I wish you the best recovery possible!
Also check out the second episode... Stroke definitely messes with the brain
But you can write ?
i always get depressed when i watch videos where people get excellent rehab - i had abysmal rehab and setbacks broke hip and had fever this week so not exercising this week will be 2 yrs in oct freaking out.
I truly hope that you get better!
@@HowIConqueredStroke thx such a worry
@@fifthavenuegirl I am rooting for you!
@@HowIConqueredStroke thx
I would like to know what medications, if any, you are on since or before the stroke?
Blood pressure and the smallest dose of Crestor, also Vitamin C and 100mg to 200 mg tocotrienols
Almost forgot, Baby Aspirin

@@ranillobulanon8872 th-cam.com/video/4fz2zRrfldQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JKrRqdE3DEX6BUD7. . I walk in this video
How long was your speech effected ? Could you write ? Or type ?
I could not speak fat all for the first 2 or so weeks. Progressively it has taken 20 years to speak at all like I used to,
My brother had a stroke almost 6 months ago. My brother can't walk or talk very well. He's 49.
Every stroke, unfortunately, is different to some degree. I don't know the circumstances but I can only hope you see, with work, improvement. It took me 20 years to get to the stage at which I made the videos. Here is wishing him all the best possible recovery.
I had a stroke 3 months ago. It came out of nowhere. I have trouble with language. The most troubling thing is they don't know why I had the stroke and I'm scared to death I'll have another one.
I can understand.. Even though they did enough tests to find out why, there will always be the fear of having another.. at least I have such a fear. Best wishes to you!
Stroke 1 month ago …
Don't lose faith. It is difficult not to at first. I hope you have the best recovery possible!
I had a stroke 10th April 2024
I wish you the best recovery possible!
@@HowIConqueredStroke Thankyou

You certainly are in a difficult situation. I know nothing about your personal situation and it seems more complicated than is usual but I would start with a social worker to see what government programs exist to help people in your situation? I can only wish you the best.
Exercise is the answer to paralysis when you eat too much like chicken, pork, beef
