3 1/2 weeks in after my stroke

Hi Linda,

I am so glad that you have joined the community - they are an amazing group of people. Some of my favourite conversations are about expressing different emotions through photography, you may want to join. Here are some threads: here and here.

These conversation, podcasts and fact sheets may also help:

Cognitive fatigue conversation

Driving resources

Fatigue podcast

Fear after stroke podcast.

Also you may like to connect with our 'den mother' Sue Bowden. Her support, grace and caring nature has already made a difference to the lives of some in our community. Sue is 23 years post stroke so her experience is vast and appreciated.

I hope that you find a place to feel secure here.

Linda you found the right bunch of people to help and support. When I experienced stroke 5years I knew nothing of Stroke Foundation at that time. Two years ago I discovered Enableme community of 

survivors  who impart acceptance , warmth, knowledge and much more. All those qualities have helped me deal with a long road  with ups and downs.

Hi Linda

It's great to see you have come across EnableMe and begun to discover the support  and information which is available for the many things which you are now coming across since your Stroke. The Forums, Pod Casts and all that is on this site is for us to learn about and help as we navigate life after our experiences.

As Di mentioned I had my stroke a long time ago, 1993 when I was 22 years old. I have a more detailed explanation on my blog here. Like Jenny once I came across EnableMe I have discovered a community of people who are 'get it.'

Wishing you all the very best as you recover and heal.

Sue  :-)
