Hello Anyone! I had a stroke on August 16, 2013 at the age of 46. It left my whole left side flaccid. I now have movement, but the leg, arm and hand are not functional. Did 5 weeks in an acute rehab doing therapy. Two months of having physical and occupational therapy in home. Now have started outpatient therapy. I can walk very short distances with a quad cane.
Thank God the stroke never affected my speech, memory or cognitive skills.
I live in snowy Indiana with my husband of 20 years (May is our anniversary) and two daughters Trinity 15 and Victoria 11.
I am learning to "cope" and adjust better about my stroke, but I am home almost all of the time, except 2 times a week I go to therapy
I am very happy I found Strokenet! It felt so good to read other people's stories and see I was not alone!
