Yes, I remember those tests.
I am right side disabled and having to use my left side to compensate means that I am not as skilled as I once was.
Drawing the clock face and following the maze wasn’t impossible but was more of a struggle than it was before stroke.
I think that with a bit of practice you could have successfully completed those tests.
Those of us who have experienced stroke are vulnerable, gullible and willing to believe any promises that suggest that we might be able to improve our lot.
Call me cynical but I don’t believe stroke is something you can buy your way out of. I take Andrew Marr as an example. I’m sure he had resources and the will to make a good recovery from his stroke. He travelled the world and tried all sorts of promised ‘cures’. He is now silent about the matter with no apparent miracle to report. That, for me, speaks loud.
After four years have elapsed I can tell of improvements that time has delivered and I am optimistic that there will be more but nothing like a complete recovery.
Mostly I have had to accept my situation and make positive use of what faculties I possess today. I do not linger in the past or agonise over the future. I have plenty to do just dealing with today.
Others on this forum are aware and supportive. There is a positive message but you need to listen to hear it.
You do have a future Mark and will make improvements. Don’t give up easily, life is worth living.
keep on keepin on
