The DIY mindset is CRUCIAL for Your Stroke Recovery Journey

Too many stroke survivors don’t get the therapy they need. This is why the DIY mindset is ESSENTIAL for your stroke recovery journey, because the majority of your progress will take place outside of traditional therapy. We’ll talk about how to develop this mindset, what things you need to understand to be successful and how to structure your DIY home rehab program for the best outcomes after stroke.

[@jimbrown5552]

Before my stroke I was an artist and fishing guide I now paint with my non dominant hand

[@davidbennett5601]

With mine, i started in DIY very early. I had severe migraine sickness. I was a simple person and did ok. Thank you wife, 34 years together and she saved my life. I woke her up have a stroke at Midnight 11/29/22 and thank you for teach people like me and us. I learned that every stroke is different and my depression is getting very light on my back.

[@terriburbank9748]

THIS info is what I've been asking for for 3 years! It's been 3 years since my stroke & I have never understood why there has been no contact/support from my medical team. If stroke is a leading cause of disbility & death in this country why is there no information like your Post Stroke info distributed to survivors? Thank you so much for your informative videos. Very helpful!

[@Chloe7270]

Because nobody cares. That's this country's motto, practically.

[@MichaelNosek]

One of the things I learned as insurance kicked in was that I had the opportunity to start therapy again. It didn't last long, but it gave me the opportunity to have a "sanity check" and compare my progress and goals with those of a trained professional. It helped me a lot. Thanks again for your valuable assistance, Elise! ❤

[@ryukoli4707]

You CAN get more every year. It's not like immediately following the stroke, BUT, it's consistent.

[@cedricnash7735]

Post Stroke Your content is excellent You are empowering me by all these videos. I'm watching as we all know. Having a stroke is like threatening. It's serious and you can have a lot of injuries because of an afterward. Stroke, a lot of people die too. I take this very seriously. We all have different paces that we go on. We're gonna have know what they're having a stroke. Are we trying to get better? Some people need a lot of motivation to go on. Because you need motivation to go on with something like this and every little bit helps it isn't very. Sometimes you just don't want to deal with it. At all, you know and spare. Hard to come to a really. Was the relevation, but you cannot walk no more. If you can't get in the car no more by yourself at at this point, but looking forward to the future. So everybody on this page. Everybody is making all this possible for us. Thank you so much for having this page because it gives us a lot of hope and I haven't given up. I never will give up, but I know how hard it is. You know, I just wanna go in. You know, go to McDonald's and get me a quarter Meal I just wanna go to the coast And go be bottled water by myself This is just very sucks when you can't get up and just go and do things on your own But like I said, I have not given up.I still do things Everyday and i'm doing it one day or two One step at a time one step at a time Thank you for this video I will use the methods everyday Have a wonderful evening.Have a good wonderful morning.Have a wonderful day My name is cedric nash

I’m trying to do the same things I did in therapy. But I don’t have a therapist there to give me the advice I need

[@joycezaid3909]

I incorporated doing things around the house, like sweeping under the dining room table, or straightening up my living room as exercise because I use my affected right side to hold things, move things(light items) and feel like I accomplished something for the day. The post stroke tiredness is a challenge, but I do what I can. My goal is to be able to drive again, because I live in a city where you have to drive, no buses go where I live. My vision was affected by the stroke, and currently getting used to prism lenses. I love watching your videos, and want to support this channel. How do I do that? I'm in the United States.

[@PostStrokeOrg]

@joycezaid3909 Hi there! that's great to hear! Neurofatigue can be such a bear but I'm glad you've found ways to do what you can ❤️ Keep me posted on how the prism lenses work for you!

[@donaldanderson1092]

What's helped me the most was aneight foot fall onto a concrete pad. That was six months into my stroke recovery . After an xray and cat scan to see what I did or didn't break or tear the next three weeks of sharp pain upon the slightest movement was an incredible teacher. Imagine your stroke therapist with a cattle prod using it to get their message across. And being sadistic. My body quickly gained back perfect balance. Pain taught me in dayswhat I had previous decided was going to take months to years to learn. 😂

[@Rich-can-do]

I have been doing my own therapy thanks to the material I was given and your older videos. Yes it does get better but you need to be patience with yourself. For me safety is always number 1. I am now able to got outside and muck about with my organic fruit plants. I am getting raspberries right now, and next season I want to grow sugar baby watermelon * Yes REAL watermelon* not that red cucumber you get in the shops. I have time to get ready for that. Its a mid range goal for me. Baby steps, little bit by little bit. I breakdown all my tasks into small steps. I plan out what I am going to do. I am a neat freak. I love thins neat and tidy, and things put away in the right places.

[@deliaallen646]

Do you have any suggestions for online stroke support groups? I have an in-person group I attend now, but it's only once per month and not particularly social.

[@cormethakitchen9075]

I'm almost 3 years in can I now😢😢

[@PostStrokeOrg]

@cormethakitchen9075 Yes! You can still make progress even now ❤️ I can't say that you'll get back to 100% but progress is always possible. Check out this video I made that goes a bit more in detail:kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGHVq4eAecRgp7s

[@dontagotti2449]

Thank you so much. You covered all the things I wish a lot of people understood when it comes to the success of your recovery. I'm almost six years in recovery and outside of the two days of therapy I started off getting I realized you have therapy two days but have you everyday. I hit that plateau. But I recently started back PT and OT to fine tune what I've been doing and my brain is firing off and adapting so well. I take the new techniques in learning home practice throughout the week, combine exercises and actually reward myself. Funny enough my reward is two scoops of chocolate cherry ice cream, or I go do something social or play the game. But thank you so much for this information. Your love, care, and being awesome. It's been blessing my life the past few years👊🏿🫡😁 Still going strong!
