Still trying with asking from last hospital specialist.

so scan shows repair and scar tissue, have tried to read about but can be very wordy and long winded…& not helping

tired easily so just the bullet points please.

so understand brain is damaged to a different degree people to people .

realistically how much will be repaired?

I know have dyslexia but will this add more ?

I dont see (or want) to go back full time again, will hope this will be a better work place than the Cr&p had to do for last 5 years…Jeeeeeessssseeeeee!

as idea I’m looking to make and sell some sloe gin this year… :+1: may even open up a shebeen an illicit bar or club where accessible alcoholic beverages I can sold without a license… :+1: :+1:err hum!!!

on a funny but true note did you know that as story of :+1: ?

well not sure what war but tank crews was welcome as the help keep peace, they would :wave: to children… after some time children start to throw bricks and bottles… senior officer invite local elders to base to find out why this happen??? ah!!! officer learns and has meeting with all Tank Crews.

“Get this right, If you get :wave: then simple :wave: back! Dont what ever you do is :+1: as in the country it means “Up Yer &rse!” … enough said “H” Out!”

I blame this on the Stroke Lark happening like! “H” Out!

That depends on you. The more you stimulate, the more you will recover. You need to work at it, although some prefer to sit back, and wait for Godot…

Hi H @Citizen8

First general observation
— As Long as you make effort then improvement will be in the right direction
— If you stop making effort you will see progress in the wrong direction.

— When bits of your brain die from a stroke they never regrow

— It is possible with the effects of neuroplasticity to regain capability by training a different part of the brain to take on new responsibilities.

— The pace of progress is glacial.

— The unhelpful “everybody is different” is only true in detailed combination of all of our characteristics
— the more useful message is most deficits have a fairly common manifestation and exercises to improve and improvement pathway.
— No one here and probably at all can tell you whether you’re brain injury will affect your dyslexia - It has potential to make it worse and I believe possibly even better!

I’m sure for most that might be true, Simon. But, in my case, I like to notice something new every day (22 months post severe stroke). It’s true I am in a phase of innervation, but today I noticed the sides of the soles of my feet are “thirsty” for feeling and buzzing with paraesthesia, also I notice the shift in weight as I swing my arm around, much more than I’m used to. It’s not an integrated feeling, since it’s brand new. No 6 o’clock news needed for me.

…and I used the toothbrush with my affected hand for the first time. Difficult for me because I still can’t feel it with my hand.

And when I brush my teeth I still tend to grip too tight, have to think to relax hand, and still prone to suddenly switching to high speed​:sweat_smile: though tough on the gums when it goes out of control like that :frowning::roll_eyes:
