Overcoming or being challenged by are two of my go-to’s

‘Baby Steps’ is certainly one I dislike!
Four years on I still find recovery extremely difficult.
Everyone is different and perhaps try and find words that you can relate to. Then if a situation arises where you are uncomfortable with words, speak up and kindly let them know ‘Actually would you mind saying this instead’ My confidence took an absolute dive, however if it makes us feel better that’s a small win!
Wishing you all the very best.

Agreed this is where the transformation and acceptance begins. I was like a hamster on a wheel trying to get back to my old self in rehab, then one day, over a year after my strokes, I was sitting in rehab and I just thought, what am I doing, you are never going to be that person again, I cried until I was done. In that moment I felt peaceful and then hopeful, like well that’s ok, let’s focus on what I can do and what I want out of life. Haven’t looked back since, like they say, only look back to see how far you have come

I try to be grateful every day and rarely say the word can’t, there is always a way. Love to all fellow stroke survivors.

I’ve learned that it’s a journey…forward movement never trying to go back to something but living each day in the best way I possibly can.

Live life - I always say I survived - not suffered a stroke . We are survivors . My mantra is live todays life to its fullest . You can’t change nor relive the past , embrace the new you & look forward cos that’s where the future lies .

I consider I had 'a stroke of luck' Life has changed considerably, both personally and professionally But both for the better, much better

Capacity is one of my favs. Especially when my power dies. People just don’t get the fatigue & nerve pain. I keep hoping one day I’ll be back to the old me but I know I never will be. It is so frustrating, but I keep making plans & goals & trying my best. It’s all we can do

My neurologist saying you are just depressed ....it infuriates me the absolute and total dismissal of trying to wrap, accept or coming to terms about your life changing in minutes to something that is incredibly devastating. Mental health is totally neglected in stroke rehabilitation which is.....
