โHi, 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.โ
โIf you've just found this place, in 2022 I was exactly where you are. The occupational therapist at home. That was my life. These days I mostly feel like me. You get yourself back in pieces. Hang on.โ
โWhen 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.โ
โReading 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.โ
