My family abandoned me in the hospital so ive had to do this all alone and this is after i gave up everything to be the caregiver for my grandmother after her stroke
Listening to this I am realizing how fortunate I am to have had really great outpatient therapy after my stint at the rehab hospital. Although the rehab hospital is a stroke certified facility I feel like most of the therapists (except 2) were just there to put people through the mill and send them home. My outpatient rehab continued at the hospital where I was initially treated and I loved (and miss!!!!) my therapists! When I was discharged from OT a few weeks ago I cried for a few days after. I might go back for more OT in January. For now it’s back to work and continuing to heal. My partner has been my rock. Having that support has been paramount.
Wow, guys, great episode. I fell asleep with my stoke and been almost one year of stoke survival. I agree with this young man! What better way? I can't think of any...Talk to your Creator at all times. Have a relationship with Christ! Our care givers (usually or wives) are God sent. Your wedding vows are to Death do you part. God bless!
OMG your comment about patronizing is absolutely on point. I originally went to a group that had a therapeutic who told me over and over I wasn’t ready for what I thought should be next step, she would tell me you’re not ready , I finally said to her isn’t that what you’re supposed to be doing? Getting me ready?
I had a ischemic stroke 3 years ago that paralyzed my left side and i was not given any therapy so 3 years later im stuck in a nursing home at 53yrs old
i had hemorrhagic stroke 4yrs ago.. lost all independence. left side still paralyzed, cant walk n no use of left arm, im 56 now and my only wish at this point is death, i am a sad existance no independence=no life, its been so long i want the end of this misery so bad, i did phys therapy thru past 4yrs, only to be an existance in this world, its a suffering that im so done with, i want out of this misery so bad
Insurance unfortunately is not regulated like it should be. You pay premiums for decades then when you need it you pay deductibles and they determine while sitting behind a desk how and when and where permitted to receive or not receive what is needed to successfully recover . And further live a productive life

Every survivor needs a Jennifer to support their mental and physical challenges. God bless all caregivers and advocates who support recovery
I work in an inpatient neuro rehab. Wish patients were able to stay longer before going home but I still see a lot of amazing recoveries.

Yes can agree with this . Hearing sensitive. Light. Outpatient therapy was too much. Made me worse.
This is incredible. I would love to get in touch with you. I'm at OT in South Africa where some people have 2 days in hospital prior to discharge and they have no insurance.

Encompass therapy is the best in bakersfield calif.
Came home with no deficits. But developed worse symptoms with therapy. Pt was too much for 75 year old.
Funds. To hire good care giver.
Insurance is not enough.
Never was
