Welcome. You will realise by now that stroke recovery is a long haul. Keep going, rest when you need to and things will improve. You may find it helps to keep a diary so that when it feels as if you are going nowhere you can look back and see how far you have come. Feel free to ask any questions , there is usually someone here who will be happy to help.

Welldone@mollybenji you should be proud of yourself and bet your husband is too. Having a stroke can make you feel like people are fed up with you when you having to do things in a different way to what you did before. Congrats on your achievement and enjoy your rest best wishes

Don’t worry about your husband, he’s just having to adapt too, and he will, especially when he see your progress. Well done getting out and about and don’t let your stroke hold you back

@Foxy88 hi & welcome to the community. You’ll hopefully find lots of friendly people with useful advice here. If you’ve got any questions ask away as i’m sure someone will be able to help.
Stroke recovery is definitely a marathon not a sprint.
Look forward to hearing from you again.
Best wishes

Hi all,
I’m 8 months post stroke. The road is long with bumps along the way and today it feels like frustration and anger. Not being able to be as I was is something not easy to have to adjust to. Today, my arm and hand are not good, so I feet a bit down. My wife is wonderful and I guess I want to do more like I used to. Mostly I’m upbeat. I did do my walk out nonetheless. Keep busy and be patient I guess. Let’s wish for sunny days so we can all get out and enjoy the warmth of the sun again.
