:thumbsu: i feel so good, I am going out with my friends, and it feels so good, to want to go and be able to go. i look at how I was at first. i haded no feelings in my right side, plus I did not speak well, my self esteen was shot, I was a mess. So then my husbands insurance company turn me down for therpy. I sat in the apartment feeling scared,and alone. plus I was mad at every one, my husband and family who did not know who I was. My friends would call, but I could hear the shock in their voice , see I was the fire in my belly type I was the one who arrange the get togethers, the one who called when anyone needed a shoulder to cry on, giving out advice and now I needed it, I did not know how to ask so I shut myself off. I went two weeks where I did not leave my aparement, talk to any one apart from my husband and that was not much just yes annd no. My daughter, who has two children, came and said Mom I am so concern about you, your grandkids want you back. I saw on her face the hurt, I , needed help. So I went with her to the doctors, it helped to talk to some one at what I was going through, she gave me medcine for my pain and some to help me with my depress state. Plus a dear friend came to see me and she said look for a site, that have people who know what your going through ,, which I did and found strokenet. I now see that I have to put aside my pride , see that I am still bless and life could be worse. Thinking more postive my speech is better, I go walking slow but steadily, I still do not drive but I get my friends and family to drive me, and I am determine to find a transportion that pick me up. My grand kids have they grand ma back! i tell you how the evening went. God bless.

With therapy it is a tough road to recovery, Without therapy it must be 1000X's harder but you are doing it! You go girl! get out and enjoy! Do not let stroke take anymore from you than it already has! There is life after stroke you just have to jump on the ride and hold on! You are doing great it sounds like to me! Keep it up!! ((((((HUGS))))))

hi englishlady:

 

I am glad you found us and don't feel alone, try to join our chats scheduled every day in the afternoon & evening & you will feel much better. I agree with cathy don't allow stroke to take more than it has already has, get back into action, & don't stay on sidelines. there is great life post stroke, but choice will be yours.
