Hi I'm just saying hello, just had a stroke

[KGB]

HI @Sheepy1

WELCOME TO THE STROKE ASSOCIATION FORUM

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

I just want to say welcome and have a look at this if you feel up to it:

Welcome - what we wish we'd heard at the start

@Sheepy1

It all settled down quite quickly but I just wondered if this is normal? Did I just overdo things? I feel so much more vulnerable now

You almost certainly did overdo it!! You need to pace yourself at the moment I’m afraid and listen to your body.

@Sheepy1

However, on Tuesday I think I overdid it, I walked to work (full day teaching, first day back) then to my evening job ( tutoring), I also walked the dog before work and at night.

I can’t believe you have got back to work so fast but it really sounds like you need to slow down a bit. talk to your GP and OT if you have one!! If not ask for one!

So sorry you’re on this journey. I am 10 months in from 3 ischemic strokes and often try and do too much!!

Please keep us posted about your journey and ask questions!!

Left frontal lobe ischemic stroke? 2 weeks on you clearly have super powers!!

Lots of love,

Here is a picture of a polar bear to cheer you up!!
