Recovery from a stroke : suggestion abou rehab possibilities

<< < (3/3)

jmelson:
I have no personal experience (thank god!) but have had a few friends who have had them.  it seems normal repair and recovery lasts up to a year or more, and most of those people have pretty much recovered fully.  That may be other areas of the brain taking over, or just recovery from the stroke.
So, give it time!

You might want to read up on rehabilitation using physiotherapy. Your mileage will vary in terms of recovery.

https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/stroke-rehabilitation

The above is an Australian website, which may (or may not) be relevant to where you live, but it has a lot of useful information.

Good luck on your recovery.

Watch "Forks Over Knives", which explains how a healthy diet can help heal the damage from various medical problems including heart attack and stroke. Keep in mind it mentions "Whole Foods" so many times it sounds like an ad for them, note that you don't necessarily have to buy from them for the advice to work. (It was also prior to Whole Foods being bought by Amazon, when the quality was presumably better.)

I think you have to rephrase that: just make sure to eat healthy. I'm starting to get the feeling & being baffled that a lot of people have no clue on how to eat healthy. And I don't mean going from one 'super food' to the other but just basic knowledge similar to knowing how to wipe your ass after taking a dump.

Wow, isn't it great to get so many responses, (I'm jealous, a bit ). But, of course, not TOO jealous (lol).

   If you can access a swimming / wading pool, with a professional therapist monitoring, that's something I've heard is used.
  Mentally, to keep your spirits up, as we are sometimes gloomy in winter, keep remembering, the winter solstice is point where daytime starts getting longer, so that's in about 2 weeks! Myself, I have more
worries, when daylight is short.

  It might not sound very professional, but pay attention to your chair, and posture. That also means to stay fresh and limber, (instead of slumping in front of a long movie).  Act like a salesman, good posture, upbeat presentation of yourself.

   I do a limber- up routine, a formal list of an 8 minute set. Try this:. Put a big digital clock in front of you, and settle in chair. Now, here is my list, everything is balanced (as in one minute right side / one minute left side).
SET LIST:

  MINUTE.    ACTION
       2.        Gentle twist to left grab and hold chair arm.
          3.      repeat to the right
       4.        Now twist to left again
         5.       repeat, twisting to right
       6. and 7.   gentle twist to left, and hold
       8. and 9.   same twist to right, and hold

Now, you can see the balance there, and as long as your doctor does not object. In that ten minute bubble you get 4 total minutes of limber up on each side, plus two minutes rest, get a sip water, and maybe do another set, when clock gets to 3:22 or whatever. Just use the first digit to keep your left and right equal.

   You would be surprised how effective such low impact 'training' can be. I mean: When was last time you spent a dedicated 20 minutes ?

   If you want: Send me a personal note with questions.
   We all like to help, there !  Thanks, Rick B.
