I think three years is probably a good place to start the new method of counting Jay.

2 years seems to be where they stop counting months when it comes to babies ages. That seems appropriate for strokes too.  After all we effectively start a new life.

But do what works for you.

jay :

for me I never counted months though each year passing brought lot of joys though once I started my stroke anniversary as my valentine day I look forward to it & make it very special day which holds lot more meaning to both of us now. if my stroke date is my rebirth then hubby will b in lot of trouble now since I will be turning thirteen so will be teenager now lol. post stroke every day counts, u do whatever works for you.

Jay I keep it in the back of my head and I know close to the day like middle of the month. Because OMG that was when my whole life changed. That was when ME changed. I just know. That is all. Will it ever just go to where I will forget and go hey Like Steve from the network reminded me today that it is anniversary and I forgot!! I dunno. But I guess keeping time is not some marker of improvement for me either. I am still doing therapy stuff at over 2 years...ok I won't do counting now lol. I think the meter just remembers the Me of before. I liked that Me. I miss her. I remember her. I like me now too. we are amazing now. But we lost lots. we remember. that's all.
