Hi my name is dianne and i had my stroke 9-25-2015 yes im still learning how to deal with it. Still get depressed and not used to being home All the time, see i used to be a bb coach and a referee so walking with a cane is annoying and no use of my left arm is unbelievable.!!! I do agree that recovery is like a caterpillar slow, very slow.I can no longer do what i used to do but im very hopeful. Ive learned how to do things a different way but they get done. Im grateful that i got to the hospital right away. I get frustrated when i have problems remembering. I really hate that!!! I dont feel that i will be that coach anymore or that referee but im praying and hoping that i will.!!!
