Without a doubt the number one question by stroke survivors, caregivers, family, and friends is according to my experience and research is...
"How long does it take?" Unfortunately, you probably won't get the answer you're hoping for because that doesn't actually exist! But I do my very best to explain, as a stroke survivor myself all the factors that play a part so that you can make the most informed decision for you and your situation.
"It is going to be a lot of hard work, but it is worth it. Persevere and reassess your life, and you can make progress each day."
In this episode, you will learn the following:
1. What is the biggest question survivors of stroke and brain injury ask when they begin their recovery journey?
2. How can stroke survivors make progress in their recovery journey, even when it takes time?
3. How does age and preexisting health conditions impact the process of recovery after a stroke or brain injury?
In this episode on I talk a little bit about why I started a community because it is not easy to navigate the stroke recovery process and of course. As with any question in life, the answer is it depends.
And I don't say that to sugarcoat things, I just want to give you the realist most true answer to this question, because according to every search engine and my own experience, it is the number one question, and also the hardest question to answer and get information on.
I explain why this is such a difficult question to answer without knowing each individual persons situation. Doctors, medical, staff, nurses, etc. Able to help answer questions, and I think at least here in the states, there is concern, sometimes of giving too much information or too little information without knowing all of the things that go into a particular situation.
Pre-existing conditions and residual effects of the stroke. Play a major part not just age and health.
In this episode, I walk through my first couple years and explain the peaks and valleys and plateaus and how are you address those you might do things differently that's certainly OK I even recommend it because you know yourself better than me I just shared my journey so that you have some indication of what it's really like from an actual stroke survivor!
