- A lot of us dream of being the best - and unfortunately, a lot of us end up disappointed.
But what if we started dreaming instead of simply being better? Just a little bit, each day, better than we were the day before?
For stroke survivors, this small change in thinking can mean a huge difference. It has for our guest Bill Monroe, who survived a blood clot in his basal ganglia in 2017.
Today, Bill joins us to talk about surviving his stroke, his ongoing experience with rehab, and how he learned that better is actually more important than best.
“If you can just get a little bit better every day, just the tiniest amount over time, that's going to add up to tremendous progress and you can be successful. You can get a little bit better or you can make efforts to get a little bit better each day. So we've reduced now the odds of failure, we've reduced the chances of being in that negative place of losing as part of this process, because that's the thing. As long as you're making that effort to get a little bit better, that's gonna add up over time.” - Bill
Bill also tells us how he launched his podcast, Strokecast, which aims to build a community to help other stroke survivors live their best lives.
“At one point I was asking one of the therapists in the hospital about a support group that met down the hall and she didn't even know it existed. So there's all these different silos that are out there. And one of the things I wanna do with [Strokecast] is to help break down some of those silos and help people communicate more across these different constituencies and share these perspectives. … I would love to help more and more people learn from them and get value from my experience. So hopefully they don't have to go through this themselves.” - Bill

Very good conversation. I agree with Bill, and wish more could be done early during stroke patient's stay - especially for patients with wake-up stroke.
Thanks
My husband had a stroke on March 2. He’s completely paralyzed on left side. His brain fog is difficult. Because he’s almost childish, he doesn’t comprehend the importance of moving. I’m working to move him from sub par rehab. Not very good. His PT informed me this week that he would never improve. 😢
Stay strong. . Stay by his side . help him with movement.
He will GOD willing improve.
I have no one to help. But with small improvement movin forward🙏
Don't listen to PT
It's a job for them
It's been 3 months. U have not given a update
I had my 2nd stroke in February 2023.
So it will take time.
The hospital is busy.
No insurance. Another factor
So please stay with your husband GOD willing he will move forward
