Thank you but I am nothing amazing, just a stroke survivor focussing on my ongoing improvement. Tomorrow is always a better day :(

Don't be pissed off -focus on what is in front of you. Rehab is hard and repetitive, progress can be alow but focus and celebrate ongoing improvement, no matter how small. Over a period of time, these small improvements will ;lead to more noticeable improvement. Where are you from. All the best, John

@strokerecovery-rehabjourne1368 .Hello ! I'm from Southern California..I do isolated strength exercises for my left side leg and arm,,and take nightly walks w cane,,,The small hand coordination exercises is what I should have been doing..instead I was told to use the colored putty and to always use affected hand for improvement,,but now I realize that's not enough..My pinky and index fingers are starting to curl up or straighten out too much...lol..these post stroke body parts require more maintenance than ford taurus😉...thank you for the response 👍👍

Congratulations on your achievement so far. It is a long REPETITIVE journey. Keep up the great work.

Hi Kevin, normally I try and do 3 sets of 15.

@@strokerecovery-rehabjourne1368 hey I went to the pool this morning as your video motivated me to

@@KevinRedman-qf7el How did you go with the pool session?

@@strokerecovery-rehabjourne1368 it went well I watched your video before getting in the pool I'm lacking a lot of coordination in the upper limb so the punches and chest extensions are more challenging ill go again tomorrow and do it.

Hi, what country are you from? What type of rehab have yoi been undertaking?

@@strokerecovery-rehabjourne1368 I'm from the US. I had OT and PT a few times. I think I reached my ceiling for my type of stroke which was caused by an AVM rupture in the frontal lobe.

Great to hear that I can help. How is you recovery going?

​@@strokerecovery-rehabjourne1368 Thanks for responding, from your journey I see the hardwork u hv put in and support from your family n doctors. Am from Bangalore,India.around 50 years ,I had a thalamic bleed on the right brain which affected my left limbs. Current state able to walk short distance without stick but have difficult in balance,I cannot put force or pressure on left leg n lift right leg up in air, this am practising staircase to get this balance ,am able to climb up and down with little support. Gait velocity is 1.7km/hr and the doc says it shd be minimum of 4-5km/hr to cross road ...how to achieve this speed? Left hand having lot of stiffness trying hard to keep small food boxes in kitchen shelf washing small cups to get finger grip. It pains a lot when I lift near 180 degrees

Hi, No, my foot did not have those issues.

my toes curled got better yoga toes helps and just exposing ur feet to different surfaces over time my left foot supinates. i refuse the brace. wear kuru shoes seems to help a bit

Sensational! Congratulations on your wonderful achievement.

Hi Lori, What movement do you currently have on the left side of the body? Where are you located?

You are progressing extremely well. YOU ARE CORRECT - patience & resilience. The journey is very repetitive but , in the long run, all worthwhile - all the best, John

Hi Mark, I was planning on having botox for my hand but decided against it - no particular reason

Thank you sir God bless youcan you give me some advice how to regain the mobility on my left side was affected too

@@markargeldeguzman6360 Hi Mark, it is a long journey requiring countless of hours completing repetitive activities. We have to teach our body how to behave once again. Don't judge you progress in comparison to others - each stroke recovery is different. Of I was to offer advice, it would be : 1. Celebrate even the smallest progression. This will create a positive emotions; response resulting in the ongoing yndertaking of the repetitive physical exercises. 2. If you can, film your sessions and compare the progress you are making. In many cases. you will noticwe that your progression is greater than you give yourself credit for. Best wishes, John

Hi Melanie, it took approximately 2 years before I attempted to run (badly) but it slowly gets better.

Hi Russ, what are the issues?

​@@strokerecovery-rehabjourne1368m

Eliza, the emotional upheaval continues although I am now more equiped to cope with the ups & downs.The journey, as you very well know, is very challenging, and there is no rule book to follow. Keep on exercising and if you fall down, get up again and keep on fighting on what is important to you (i have fallen many times). Rehab is built on repetition-never give up regardless of how frustrating it is - the hard work will eventually lead to improvement. Where are you located? All the best. John

i am in california. the medical care for stroke where i live has been atrocious. you are very lucky to haveyour therapy/gym company helping rehab. i had to retire lost my horses dogs chickens . i want my lifestyle back. john did u have dropfoot? it is amazing u ditched the cane so soon. @@strokerecovery-rehabjourne1368

Hi, NO foot drop. How is your progress going?

Hey guys two years out is this level of recovery possible

@@strokerecovery-rehabjourne1368 i was walking wo cane mowing 2 acres w push mower got up 2am in May to use bathroom fell broke hip. had to have emergency hip replacement. semi-starting over very frustrating.

Hi, Every stroke is different and there is no specific time period allocated to recovery. People respond differently to rehab.Just keep on doing the rehab that professional are asking you to do- this will give you the best opportunity to recover. All the best.

😃

Christopher, What assistance are you currently receiving ?

@@strokerecovery-rehabjourne1368 my left side apected bery havebi wieght

Hi don't be depressed. People progress at difference rates. Keep on focussing on your daily rehab. I used to get disappointed when I compared my rate of improvement with others. NOW I just focus on myself and follow a Japanese saying : KAIZEN - small, seemingly ongoing improvement. Celebrate even the smallest of improvements. This will give you a tota;;y different outlook on your rehab. Where are you located? Best Wishes, John

@@strokerecovery-rehabjourne1368 thank you.
