Re: Not yet 3 months post stroke

I do notice with stress my numbness gets worse. No I've done the opposite and stayed away from junk food and worked out more. I really want to live its a shame it took a stroke to make me realize it. I know that if I get nervous or very focused on a task I can feel the numbness growing. Once it starts I can't stop it. It doesn't stop me from doing things it just slows me down a little. Thank you for writing me it does help to talk about it.

Steve

Re: Not yet 3 months post stroke

G’Day flwrme,
Hope you well and in good spirits. Your still very young on your road to recovery, you will improve, how much and how long it will take, no one knows.
I was given the same advice when I left rehab by my therapists.
I found the more balance exercise I did, the better I become. Just standing around having a conversation, and there was a support nearby, I was constantly trying to balance on the affected leg. Slowly, slowly does it. Baby steps.
It may be a good idea if you start a thread, to keep track of your progress.
All the very best, please keep us informed with your improvements.
George

Re: Not yet 3 months post stroke

hank you George,I was very lucky that only my leg was affected, The balance is the worse but some days are better than other which I can't understand. I find being on my computer makes it worse must be the vision part of the balance. Hugs Carol
