From people who came through it
“I was in the same place this time last year. Speech therapy twice a week, every single day. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. Hang on.”
Almaz No · 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.”
Warehouse worker D 90 · 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“I've been there. For me it was a few years back. Fatigue after twenty minutes of anything. That was my life. This morning I sang in the car. It changes. It really does. Sending love.”
