โPlease be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everythig harder. Someone told me to do one small thing a day so some days it's just a shower. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.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
โIf you've just found this place, I was where you are in 2022. Back then it was relearning to walk with a frame. Last month I had people round for dinner. The bad days get further apart. From someone who gets it.โ
โI 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.โ
