EnableMe | enableme - stroke recovery and support

My rehab focused mainly on three elements - Physio, Occupational therapy (OT) and Speech therapy including lots of re-learning and new things (eg speaking English, writing with left-handed, exercise, cooking, computer use etc) and lots of repetition exercises. I am a task-orientated person and I had a 'monkey see, monkey do' mindset and also I trusted the therapists implicitly.

In the early stages of my rehab, I was struggling... especially with goal setting....

Hi Paul

Such a great post about goal setting and the continuing work involved in recovery. And dream big, I always have with my goals .:-) it's wonderful to read about what is working for you in detail .

Stay well and keep smiling.

Hi Paul,

I really enjoyed your blog and especially your last update about making realistic goals. Although my stroke didn't leave with any physical problems, it did leave me with a couple of cognitive problems: fatigue, stress, and anxiety (most about work). I agree with you that it is important to create a timetable with relevant and realistic goals, and essential feedback. I got through my initial goals - reading, writing, and speaking. Now, my next one is to improve my Japanese and to get back to work after having time off from work due to stress. I will take a page from your book and just set myself realistic goals of work rather than trying to be exactly I used to be.
Again I enjoyed your blog and I look forward to your next page. All the best with your goals and rehab.
