Yes Roland, often the incremental improvements we are not aware of, are spotted by others. Motivation has been a big stumbling block from start, but three years on now bit by bit I’m motivating myself more. Some days still a swine , but they are getting fewer. Yet to start my 1,00 piece jigsaw , but when my battery is fully charged and the planets line up I’ll be off.

Nice read, Simon, @SimonInEdinburgh
but the true strength of Neuroplasticity is the ability to forge new neural pathways. It’s up to us to put our brains through its paces, not sit back and mindlessly repeat exercises. It’s possible to strengthen our bad habits, but that’s down to laziness and ignorance rather than anything else. One thing is clear to me; that stroke recovery is the hardest challenge I’ve ever faced by far, and requires constant hard work. For instance I’m typing this with my stroke hand ! Takes 5 times longer !
ciao, Roland

I’m always up for the challenges just unsure what I can do to get the arm to wake up when the brain doesn’t respond to it correctly my good lady provides passive stimulation every evening she is consistently moving it and has done for three years to no avail.
