I had my stroke Oct23 and as ‘pando’ says my improvements also seem to come in spurts. I don’t consider this as plateau but having a rest on a step up. Like everyone else I was devastated by the stroke thinking at my age this was the end. But with support from my rehab team I realised that a lot of the improvement would come by my own effort. I was mindful of my own limitations and factored them into my recovery plan. There are things I still can’t do, but as far as possible I give it a go. For instance, only on Monday this week, I went into our local town on my own, on the bus. My sense of achievement was euphoric. I’ve learned a lot of things on the site and one was to take each task completed, as a step forward into our recovery. I stopped giving myself a time limit; when it could or should happen… it will happen! We will all share with you any of your ‘happens’. Best wishes Norma
