EnableMe | enableme - stroke recovery and support

When the nurse told me I had an intracerebral hemorrhage stroke, I didn't understand or process it. I had no idea what had happened to me. When I was finally discharged, it hit me. It's a bitter pill to swallow in many ways.

I definitely have days where I say, "Why me?" and then I think, "Well, why not me? Who else? Who else besides me deserves this? None of us do."

I now treasure all the small moments that most people don’t really see or take for granted. The small things are magnified for me now. We have this endless pit within us, and it’s about continuing to dig in that pit for the strength to face adversity and to see all the beauty.

There’s fear, confusion, and frustration. I felt lost for a moment. I thought, "Now what?" Then I started rehab. Building up my strength involved not only movement but also faith.

Thank you for sharing your heartfelt Voula & profound story and reminding us all of the importance of faith and resilience.

Thank you so very much, for your kind comment Yvonne.

Thanks Voula for sharing your perspective.. Its so easy to ask "Why me?" but on the other hand, you wouldn't wish it on anyone.. Appreciating the small things are magnified and appreciated! :)

Why you , should be why not you , all stroke people ask the same question , just be thankful your stroke was not worse , as their are people who are vegetables after their stroke , just and obstacle to try to over come . Stroke can affect any one at any age .
