      Where would you suggest i start?  I had a Stroke 3 years ago.   No cause ever found as i had no risk factors.  It was a isemic type (spell check) ... Lost my Balance, speech, affected my whole right side of body.     Had 8 week OT, PT Speech therapies at home one release from Hospital and rehab at a nursings home .   Insurance would not let me go to a rehab facility.     After 8 weeks of therapy at home , i had 8 weeks outpatient at a rehab center for OT, PT and Speech.   Then i had a friend take me back to gym, (was a big gym person)  and work with me.   Very happy to say that i am doing real good.  Went from help on walker to, walker , to cane to walking ..  Speech is pretty much back with a little garbling especially when tired or if i try to speak to fast.   Am back to gym, cross-country skiing , snow shoeing and hope to start down hill skiing etc.  I still bike and am real lucky and want to help and encourage others.

      Hi, it's always nice to hear success stories from someone who has had a stroke.  Thank you for wanting to share it with our membership.  You are very inspirational.  You should start in the Newbie Introductions forum.
