moie,Motivation is an important part of recovery-good for you! Make sure you listen to your body. Rest is very important as fatigue is an integral part of stroke. If you can arrange for a couple of hours in the middle of the day it would be very beneficial. You go girl!. I think you're going to do very well Best wishes for a complete recovery. Moie.

Trish Peterson,Lester is right. You need to take a rest period in the middle of the day and don't push yourself to hard. Motivation is an important part of the equation, but so is being equipped to handle the ups and downs as you continue your parth to recovery. Let the people you are close to help you; espically from church. James 1:2-4 has become "my verse" and it was the first post I made on FB after my stoke.

Chuck3e,There is so. much hope for you. You have the right motivation and attitude. And improvement is definetly possible. A part of your brain has been damaged and needs to be re-routed. That can only be done through therapy and persistance. Like a new born, do we expect them to mature just by lying there? No, they and you must exercise your brain power to to develop those new brain paths. You can do it. I have seen it done. -
Vwaltenbaugh,Good luck and continue to persevere. My stroke came after receiving my masters degree and affected my cognitive ability and not my balance or motor sells. Felt like I lost the person I aS but we are all truly blessed to even be able to participate in a forum like this and encourage one another.

amcmanigal,I have heard from many what several of you are telling me about resting. I am finding time each morning for a little nap and I also take a long afternoon nap. I have found that if I don't laying down a rest I really don't feel good. I am learning to listen to my body. Thanks for the words of wisdom and advice.

weinere58,Remember, as you recover that moving forward need not be done in huge leaps, as long as you having momentum even an inch should be seen as a victory.

Marguerite,Anyone who has suffered a stroke needs to visit this website: www.NRImed.com Dr. Edward Tobinick in Boca Raton, FL, has discovered a treatment using the drug, Etanercept, to help stroke patients. Some have complete recovery, but instead of making lots of comments, check this out for yourself. I was blown away at the results, because as you know there is not a whole lot of post stroke treatment being offered except for the usual PT, OT, exercises, etc. My best to everyone, Carol
