I'm currently 58, white male, currently 5 years post hemorrhagic stroke deep in the thalamus. Right side of body paralyzed (left side of brain). PT, OT and speech therapy until last month. Currently personal trainer 3x a week as well as home exercize program. Have had acupuncture and chiropractic treatment as needed. Still no feeling on right side, but 85% function. I continue to see small improvments daily. I have no plans of stopping. Never give up!

@K-Fred:Thank you for sharing, I am currently in my 26 yr old's hospital room. 7 months ago he had hemorrhagic brain bleed Rt side of brain (AVM) best guess. He has movement only on right hand, recently moving rt arm also after starting PT at a rehab facility. Hospital In house PT & OT was next to nothing. Luckily my husband & I have not left his side a single day & have been doing ROM so his hands, arms, legs & feet are in very good shape except left had a little stiff sometimes. We will keep encouraging him..& hope he can speak soon & tell us what he feels. He will go craniplasty in a few days🙏 Best of luck to you & keep up the good work. Again thank you for sharing ❤

I had a pontine hemorrhagic stroke March 18th 2020 at 2am the day that COVID shut everything down. It was so hard dealing with the stroke but doing it without my husband by my side through the majority of it was so hard The rules about visitors kept changing minute by minute. I'm 4 years into recovery and stuck in spasticity phase. I have no sensation on the left side I was wondering how to combat sensation issues and bring it back

Thank you for sharing, it gives me hope for my 26yr old son who had severe brain bleed 7 months ago...even though it was not during pandemic I have to say he got very little PT. Therapist always "busy" or my son was recovering from yet another "bump on the road". He has gotten more consistent PT at his rehab facility. He will have craniplasty surgery soon.

I had a massive stroke and returned home right before the holidays and I got the same phone calls, asking If I was going to holiday parties and got attitude for saying no. I couldn't even stand up during that time. It's now 2 years later, I can stand walk, bath myself, get up and down the stairs, ride a bike, get up and down off the floor and still have a long way to go. I still have no ankle foot and hand function. I go to OT and have a personal trainer. I will keep fighting. 2 years ago, I never thought I would get this far, so just imagine the possibilities, that's what keeps me going.

The best thing you can do is not compare yourself to others. I compare myself to my earlier stages and see how far I've come. I can do things today that I couldn't do a year ago. I can now walk outside without a crutch. I can now switch legs walking up and downstairs. My arm/hand is still nonfunctional, but I can move it a lot more compared to a year ago. I had 2 brain surgeries over this past year, so my brain is still recovering. I won't stop until I get my body back. I work out and do repetitions daily.

@@PostStrokeOrg Thank you! That's exactly what keeps me going. In the beginning I needed help eating, bathing and standing. Now I can walk and do those things on my own now. So compared to those days, I'm doing pretty good and still making progress a year later. I go out walking on a rocky dirt trail with hills with my wife and son. The first day was tough, but I got used to it and can walk longer distances. Now I'm working on my arm/hand. I had a stroke due to an AVM, and they removed the AVM 5 months after my stroke, so I'm still recovering, mentally, emotionally and physically. AVMs are extremely rare, so I was in shock for months.

Keep it going! I dont remember my first year at all, yet now I can remember 40% up to 4 days ago. Yet oddly, things get pushed into 4 - 5 month long term memory. Just focus on tomorrow, and then a month, then months, then a year from now. Make your goals and do your best. Snack frequently, every hour to 2 depending on size of snacks. Sugars & protiens 😀 and rest frequently as well 20 min at least every couple hours. It Just let's the brain rest and proccess.

Finally home this past March, but later had a major psychotic break the day after the eclipse; wasn't doing well due to still not having home health care, the financial emotional and physical effects, and increasingly frustrated that the people in my life who should KNOW better saying that I wasn't trying hard enough to get better, I should have been back at work since I didn't "sound like" I had a stroke. I came home almost 3 weeks ago, and I told the psych team I wasn't leaving the hospital until my home health care was set up. I couldn't endure any more delays (not having insurance OR income). The next week, I have in home PT OT, Dietary, and Mental Health/Social Work. Speech therapy is coming soon. I agreed to participate in a partial hospitalization program, and my disability claim was approved, and it's going back to the day I had my stroke. Tonight I am crocheting a hat, because I lost interest in EVERYTHING when I came home 2 months ago. I had to put the KZbin channel on transcripts, and wrote the instructions in a way I could understand them(my concentration/comprehension took a beating). Not finished, but the point is that I DID it, and I had FUN. My social worker is gonna be proud of me taking up her challenge!!! I needed to hear the truth (though I already knew it) and you are on point. I WILL be contributing to your channel because you changed my life, and even told my stroke recovery group about you.

Excellent video as a 76 yo male who had a cavernous venous malformation in the left cerebellum. I recovered most skills by 6 months but plateaued however the next year had 7mm thalamic stoke. Another plateau. 5 years out had the oozes from the cavnoma hence more ataxia and left side numbness and balance so back in my rehab mode. Fortunately I’ve operated on the rehab and die attitude most of my life since early 20s. 5 years later, so far so good. Thanks

Here is my report, maybe it will help someone. A little over three years ago I suffered a stroke (right thalamus). I was immediately taken to the hospital in Passau, but apart from a CT scan and an MRI scan, nothing else was done. I then stayed in the hospital for a week for observation, but the various neurologists couldn't help me either. I had problems coordinating the left side of my body, problems walking, and gripping with my left hand was a bit difficult. All of this happened during the Corona period and a therapy place was simply not available. I then looked for instructions on how to deal with this impairment and found your website. For three years now, I have been doing your seven exercises every day, I also train my left arm with light weights and walk 10,000 steps every day. My dear wife is Italian and we eat a Mediterranean, low-salt diet. I try to coordinate my daily routine as normally as possible and have actually regained all of my abilities. I could actually be happy, but I still have a very weather-dependent nausea that is very disturbing. I have trouble concentrating and unfortunately I can't continue with the two book projects that I've left behind. I work every day to improve my situation and hope for further recovery.

I am 6 weeks into recovery, with very good overall progress. There is a lesson that I have learned the hard way during recovery: one has to be reasonable. There were two occasions when I asked to much from my body: one was a visit at a thermal spa with the kids and the other one a training routine at the physio gym for 90 minutes effective training. I felt fit enough, but had a few hours later a body reaction, that reminded me at the moment when I experienced the stroke. Horror. All, be cautious.

My timeline is totally broken I'm actually going backwards its slowly going but it is. July 31,2023 was a major stroke. I was on my jobsite and dropped in the driveway while talking to my client. My employee noticed the signs right away and drove me to the fire station down the street. They took me by helicopter to the hospital. I only remember being in the drivewzy. I was told the rest. After waking up I kinda remember the doctor showing me a picture of the clot they removed and it was in 3 pieces. Here's where my brain fog comes in and the timelines aren't matching up. Maybe 2 weeks after that major.stroke I had a minor stroke. Then.about 3 weeks after that was a pulmonary embolism. I believe the cause of all this was from having surgery on my left kidney from chronic kidney stones. This stone was the worst I ever had and it was large enough to completely block my uriter inside my kidney. So I had a nefrostomy tube sticking out my left side for urine to.drain. I had complications with that and had to have it changed out to a larger one while they left the original one in place.( a piece of it.anyway) But I was making progress initially after the stroke. Went to my therapy at all times that I didn't have.a Dr appointment etc... They said I didn't need more therapy so I didn't go.any more. With all the drugs they had me on none for.pain but.all other things I just found out yesterday on just how bad.stating drugs.are for the body and.I stopped.taking those. I'm no longer on blood thinners. Because.my imsurance.dropped me last bill I saw.from the hospital was 667,000.00 that.was.for the month of november. So now.... My right hand wants to keep.a.fist.and.wrist wants to.curl up most of the time. My memories from the past are still there up.to the time of the.stroke... But not really after. They.pretty much come and go on an hourly basis. Depression.and.anxiety have set in. Its very difficult to understand. My speech.really isnt.effected. but my understanding is very much so. I'm independent but relying on my girlfriend for a ton of things mainly.mentally. I've since been not.really.able to work because at times I cant.remember what things.are.called.and it.takes me.5 minutes to remember what something is called... Like.a.sheet of plywood.. I can point.at it but.can't remember what it is called. Its been going.downhill for.about.6 months now and have.an appointment with my neurologist next month to.see what's happening.and hopefully.get some answers. I drive myself around but never alone just in case something happens. So my recovery seems to be in reverse now.

I know people will not agree after 2nd stroke on September of 2024 will not to hospital again. I can not wait to see wife in heaven. You have great ideas but tired of pain and lonely. I stopped all doctors visits no more kidney disease, heart doctor only pain doctor. I am done. My life my choice. God bless you and your family. God bless Texas. And very poor. I don't care
