From people who came through it
“Reading this late at night? I've been there. I've been there. For me it was a few years back. It was fatigue after twenty minutes of anything and I couldn't see past it. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. It doesn't stay this heavy. Be gentle with yourself.”
Jez R · been through stroke recovery“When my wife had her stroke, I thought I had to fix everything. I could not. The first month was chaos. I did not know about occupational therapists or fatigue or any of it. So here is what I know now. Progress is slow. It looks like folding a towel. Celebrate it. Rest when you can. Ask for help even if you are stubborn. And look after yourself. I did not, and now I am paying for it. You cannot pour from an empty cup. I hate that saying. But it is true.”
dad_monday · been through stroke recovery“It's hard. The first years are the worst. You'll learn new ways to do things. Like Velcro instead of buttons. And you'll find people who help. Even if it's just a neighbor who sits with him for an hour. Don't be afraid to ask. And look after yourself. Sleep when you can. Eat proper meals. Cry if you need to. It's not weak. It's human. Derek still cries at adverts. I just hold his hand. That's enough.”
Brooke M. · been through stroke recovery“Hi, you. I was in the same place nearly four years ago. The worst part was the occupational therapist at home. Last weekend I went to a friend's birthday and stayed till the end. You get yourself back in pieces.”
