Hi guys,had my second appointment with my consultant on Saturday,he says I am almost normal.31 days since my stroke I almost have full use of my left hand.Don’t have full sensation in my finger tips.Any tips you guys?
I can now walk almost without a stick,I go to the gym to train very lightly
I have been told to keep heart rate about 100 bpm

31 days isn’t very long and you seem to be making good progress. Just keep on doing what you are doing and let nature take its course.
Does seem a strange thing to say though, that you are almost normal.

@Chiz that all sounds really positive and well done to you on working so hard to get yourself back to where you are.
I had altered sensation after my stroke & I was advised to just keep touching things of different textures. For example rubbing your hand along your trouser leg, the arm of a chair, a table, a comb or brush etc etc. I did this every opportunity i had and my sensation did return.
Best wishes
