Still here and kicking three years post stroke. I'm finding it easier to do things so there is hope for all you just starting your stroke journey.

 

The first year was the toughest, hospital, all the meds, rehab, learning to walk again. Second, got my drivers licence back, things getting easier. Third just trying to live life as normal as possible.

 

Kath and I are still loosing weight, it's slowing abit but Kath has lost 30 lbs. so far, I have 5 lbs. left till goal weight.

Stu, congratulations all round - for achieving a new normal, for your weight loss and for the information and support you give to others here. You are what my dad would have called " a good bloke".

 

I think being able to drive again is a big deal, it frees your partner from the chore of having to drive you to appointments etc. I know how that feels as Ray was never able get his licence back due to his lack of right/left co-ordination. He couldn't scan and would never have kept up with the traffic changes etc.

 

Keep up the exercise, keep your mind busy and keep on doing whatever is keeping you healthy.

Stu, I continue with congratulations to you, it is a long road but with time we can all make it. I'm a bit ahead of you so I know the feeling for life after stroke.

 

My hope is when new members come here they all get the desire to live on with what they have left as you and I have done. I love to Inspire others!
