I read the comments & thought I'm not alone, but the fact is, I am. I was 58,single, mostly living alone. when I had a "massive" stroke according to the ER staff. It's not easy during 2020 or 2021 but I'm still trying. You can do it,recover. Use the Three F's. Faith,Family & Friends.

Thank you Sir, for your story. I’m so happy you have recovered to the degree that you have. My DIL had a stroke and brain surgery at 35, with 3 year old twins to care for. She had aphasia and other deficits. Today, 6 years later, she is so much better. Some issues with finding the right words, but we’re so grateful the grandkids still have their mom and my son still has his wife. Thanks for your story!

Thanks for sharing. My best friend had a stoke a couple of weeks ago, it was worrying because his Wife came home and found him on the Kitchen floor so nobody knows how long he was down for or how much damage has been done. He's out of ICU and slowly coming out of his coma, today he was able to give thumbs up to his Wife, even though his eyes are still closed, he's trying to come back to us. This video helped give me hope for his recovery. I'm stage 4 cancer, he has been my strength, calling me every few weeks (we now live on opposite sides of the pond), now I have to be strong for him.

Im a survivor of three strokes and I also have two stents in my heart..Im 37 years old by the grace of God I'm still here, But I feel if I would have had better insurance instead of medicated, then I would be so much further along in my recovery. The reason I say this is, with medicated your limited to so much physical therapy at least I am. Not complaining, but I just need more physical therapy, a better foot brace, not repair it just replace the brace. It's been a year and two months since my last stroke and people think that I have broken my leg because the way that walk no, I have the wrong brace someone please lead me in the right direction...

I’m months away from celebrating my 4 years of being a Massive Stoke Survivor. It’s been a challenging journey that I’m still currently on. Even though all my physical therapist say they are beyond pleased with my progression, I still feel like I’m still trying to figure things out. My walk is different, balance still off at times, I withdraw from being around large groups of people when before I was very outgoing the stroke left me with a movement disorder called Chorea in my left arm. My arm/hand moves continuously uncontrollably it only stops when I’m sleeping. Yet I’m still I am so very thankful that I survived such a traumatic experience for brain injuries are very delicate. I’m know I’m blessed & will continue to progress I’m determined to. 🦾
