Hey keep going!! I was thinking about stem cells for my brain bleed but now I'm bout to work out harder !! U living proof!!! This all I needed to c!!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉 I'm rooting for you king !!! I'm just getting into this journey

You are a true hero and I feel blessed to have found you to help talk us through this journey. My husband suffered his stroke at 42 2/29/2020 it’s been a long road but you have given him new found faith❤

110% true….❤❤❤…….👍🤙

Thank you for this Kevin. I needed this tonight. It's been slightly over 4 months since my ischemic stroke and I've been having difficulty on a daily basis dealing with the trauma and the emotional pain. My doctor has prescribed anti-depressants but I'm afraid of the side affects and becoming dependent on them. I cry on a daily basis because it's a terribly difficult thing to deal with (feeling isolated, dependent on others, dealing with physical and cognitive / emotional issues). Wishing you well from Toronto Canada.

Great words.... I say to myself I can't do that - YET.... If I can't do it I think about doing it! I agree focusing on what you can do and even if that is going back to stretching your hand out that alone will take the focus in your brain off if the immediate emotions... Distraction, deep breaths anything to re-engage your rational brain and reduce the control the emotion has over you.... That said sometimes a good cry is what's needed. But don't stay there....Don't suppress it either, manage it, talk to it and yourself and say I'm not beaten...

Great topic. Laughter smiling and tears can be uncontrollable.

❤❤🤙

You should make a video on wrist extension and supination 🙂

Did you ever suffer with fatigue...

What an inspiration. I suffered from hemorrhagic stroke due to intracranial bleeding from a rupture caused by a rare condition known as AVM (Arteriovenous Malformation) back in early 2020. I was only 27 years old, now 31. AVM is a rare condition where there's a formation of abnormal tangle of brain blood vessel carried from birth. My neurosurgeon told me it's present in less than 1% of the population and it's sort of like a ticking time bomb just waiting to explode but no one knows when, and can go unnoticed until it's too late. I was on a Sunday morning motorbike ride heading towards a bike meetup in Central Jakarta. Suddenly everything went blank; I was told I crashed into a car at high speeds and then taken to the nearest hospital; but I have no memory of the whole incident and months after that. My bike was totally trashed, it was short of a miracle that I survived with just a broken left clavicle and minor scratches. I got partial paralysis also on the left side, predominantly on the arm, leg, and core muscles that are supposed to stabilize and keep my balance. Before this happened, I was always the healthy, active, athletic, outdoor kind of guy doing all kinds of sports; weight training, martial arts, swimming & diving, hiking, parkour, etc., only two years before this I was standing on the summit of a 4,800m Himalayan mountain. I also ride motorbikes a lot (as you can see in my past videos), and I used to play the guitar. I always maintain good diet, doctors were puzzled to see that I passed all tests on blood pressure, cholesterol, sugar etc. Took them a while before they figured out how I could possibly get a rupture. Everything was gone in an instant, like none of that mattered and I became just a piece of meat, unable to do basic everyday stuff; and with that goes my job as IT project manager, a lot of my savings, my hobbies, my relationship, basically the life that I've struggled to create all went down the dump. 2 years of grueling physical therapy later, I was finally able to walk and then found a new job. Motor functions started recovering further, though I am still unable to do a lot of the things I used to do, even some basic finger and ankle movements. At times I feel like giving up and accepting that this is how I'll be for the rest of my life and no further progress is possible, but seeing how you kept fighting after 13.5 years and still see improvements, really put things into perspective and make me realize, I still got a long way to go. Cheers man.

I am glad I am not the only one that had a stroke when I was young. I was in my 30s at work.

You're so right about the rabbit hole, sometimes it's just an hour away.... keeping going is one way to keep going. The emotional impact never leaves us either, but I'm so grateful for the recovery stage I'm at just now. I'm considering the audio book but may try the paperback - training/exercise for the hand and fingers!! 😊

Awesome Kevin! Everything you share is helpful ❤

Hello Kevin it's almost a year that i suffered a stroke like yours that gives me initially paralized right arm and leg. Now i'm able to walk again, not always alone but with my son on my side and i still have the right leg and arm injured. I'm happy for my recover, i always train myself even before stroke, but it's a very long journey and in some days it's very tough because i still suffer diziness that doesn't allow me to do everything i want to. I want to ask you if this instrument can be useful for me even if don't have so much strenght in the right arm and how long took you to free your head from diziness. I'll thank you so much to give me the strenght to keep it fighting to fully recover, i'll work everyday for that! God bless you!

can you do a video on how you handled everything emotionally im having such a hard time im a year out and i cant stop wanting to cry all the time

I had my stroke in February of 2024, I was just wondering if you still have any deficiencies that hold you back, you really seem able to do this workout really well! You are a great encouragement to everyone who has had a stroke! Thanks

Very nice!

My stroke happened February 2024, one day I was out cutting firewood and the next day in the hospital unable to move anything on my right side! What I didn’t like was that they were teaching me to stay that way! I know everybody stroke is different!

Do you drink alcohol at all?

I was 65 when I had a stroke. I was told that what didn't come back after 1 year probably would not come back. I'm now 73 and most of what I was told would not come back did come back. I joined a gym, got a personal trainer, and I'm not back to where I was, and I'm the only one who knows. Most of my closest relatives and relatives can't even realize that I had a stroke. I still go to the gym and work with my trainer, and I will continue to do so. You are an inspiration!

I use my walking stick .... And yeah sometimes it hurts so much.... But I push through where it's pain but not pain-full if that makes sense. Throughout the day I'll move arms up down, stirring a big pot, cradle motion up and down.....and squeeze the blades. I'm only 6mths in.....never thought I'd be prefacing 6mths in with 'only'.... But it takes time. Btw pre stroke I could never do pull ups....more determined now to get thete!!!😂

I had a stroke a week ago. Unfortunately, it paralysed the dominant side of my body. But, I have made a remarkable recovery already. Just a bit lame in my leg still , my entire arm and hand still needs some more work and my speech is a bit slurred. As this occurred in the early hours of the 27th December, I could only see my General Practitioner at noon. I have no medical aid and state hospitals in my Country are shocking. He immediately diagnosed stroke, without imaging, as he knew the symptoms. He prescribed medication for a month and so far, I am feeling a lot better than before. 🙏

Kevin, your tips are great I am aiming to be where you are. I am only 3 years in but giving it 150% everyday…

Glad you did ok... and you are so beautiful.... blessed be

Just had a mild stroke, left arm paralyzed, just home from hospital. How long was your recovery ?

Happy new year, what exercises did you do after you started training yourself to recover?

Hey Kevin I used to use this occasionally pre stroke - they're hard!!! How did you build up the strength to even get onto the floor and your knees too? I know this is you many years down the line (and showing what might be achievable for some of us)😊

🤙

Thanks for this Kevin....I'm looking to get a range of movement back and I'll try this - kinda painful just now but I'll try this to keep improving. That 'string' you talk about kinda feels nippy in my forearm underneath when I sit on bed with fingers flat out and stretch the forearm a bit.....but...back to your stretch hopefully will help me sort that elbow kink out and finger curling.

Catching this a little late. I'm suiting up after seeing this for a half mile walk and upper body work out. My stroke knee is swollen from to much exercises. Gota learn my limits. Merry Christmas and Happy New Years.

I need to work on my diet I’m really failing myself in the area of diet.

Magnific sweaty

I had a whopper of a stroke right side as well I had a varicose vein procedure done and the quack sent an air bubble to my brain, via a PFO in my heart, my faith was weak, but I. A strong believer now, if it wasn’t for Jesus we would all be doomed

I'm nearly 6mths in. I didn't find your vidros in my really early days (just recognising that 6mths is not long and dlso judging progress from Day 0 and not the day before). Youre right everyone is different but you have a really good disciplined approach and attitude. Kerp broadcasting please!

You are a Stud and a huge inspiration..my stroke was not as bad as yours, but still devastating to me. I started a workout routine in one week, and add new stuff everyday. Last week I was able to get myself off the floor and to my feet with my Son spotting me. I cried at my achievement. I may not play the guitar again, but I will walk normal again and have some had function. I'm 63, the neurologist said just keep working it.

How long did you take to walk etc

Looking forward to seeing those new techniques happy New Year too

Merry Christmas Kevin

Question! How could I get moving my hand and lifting g my arm again do you have any suggestions for me!!!! Let me know if you do .🥰

Enjoy your Christmas enjoy ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Merry Christmas to you

Happy Christmas

Do you think your young age was a factor in your great recovery? Does anyone know someone 50+ who made a similar recovery?

One of my goals is to get behind the driving wheel. I so miss it. It's been 4 months since, and I have no physical limitations. Just still feeling a little (keyword little) dizzy and wobbly when I walk. Gets worse as I get tired or later in the day (neuro fatigue). Happy to see you're behind the wheel and driving Kevin. It's really inspiring after what you've been through. Thank you.

Hi Kevin I'm almost 4 most post my stroke. Dealing with a lot of tiredness and fatigue mentally (neuro fatigue?). Do you or have you experienced this type of fatigue?

Dude Kevin you are the man. I’m also a new stroke survivor ~6 months out. I’m 35, was in the best shape of my life right up until it happened. I find you very inspirational.

Hey Kevin, in your opinion is 90 days into recovery the time you have most of function you will get back, or do you believe we continue to make new connections if we keep working?

Thank God you survived! Thank you for sharing this very painful story. Best to you.

You're so encouraging. I'm 17 months since my hemorrhagic stroke. I've had 14 seizure setbacks in the past year even though I've been on anti seizure meds. They don't always control brain activity though. It doesn't discourage me. I'm very happy to be alive each and every day. I keep pushing through. Thank you so much for your videos.😀

how log after your stroke were you able to grip the bar? I am 3.5 months post stroke and have problems gripping a glass of water.
