I had it a few years back Lenny, but like all other therapies I had, it works for a while, you keep doing it but the fingers and hand is still the same!

My conclusion is once the brain cells die that controls that part of the body that's it! Now, if you are young enough, there are chances your brain will or can rewire where other cells or routes of blood learn to take over for the dead cells, whereby you learn to work that part of the body. Otherwise, we will be like we are from the day of the stroke!

Think about it, the people who return to walking, talking and doing as before the stroke, wasn't hurt as much as those who don't return to pre stroke conditions! I know I lost many cells at 62, my chances of getting everything back was slim and slimmer as I get older!

I'm just happy I got back what I did and I've been in therapies for 7 years, even stayed in the hospital and therapy rehab 5 months before being released to go home still unable to walk. Later I learned to walk with a cane.

I wish you well and that you get back what you lost from the stroke, but if you don't get it all back, don't be surprised! :dribble:

Lenny, I need a name for it.
