Not sure how I feel cudnt decide whether to stay in bed all day or go to the pub anyway I decided to go for half a lager I’ve achieved a lot I know apart from left arm and hand still not functional maybe I should just accept that’s how it’s going to be I’m a bit tired of trying
Happy strokaversarry
If your tired of the struggles than have a rest
The motivation will likely return
Were you born left side dominant? Either way how much does it participate in day2day life? By making it 80+% even if the contribution is 5% or less it will grow in usefulness even now.
If participation is 1% make 2% then 3% instead of ‘textbook’ exercises give it the variety of laundry & jigsaws & deadheading flowers & string pasta sauce etc

Hi Christine Completely understand how you are feeling. It’s sole destroying when you can’t see the results of your hard work and so difficult to stay motivated. I’m sure everyone feels like this at some stage during their recovery. I would suggest that you take a break for a while and I’m sure your motivation will return soon.
Take care
Regards Sue
@christine2 glad to hear you decided on half a lager. Celebrate, as much as yoy can, how far you’ve come.
As Simon has said if you’re tired of trying take a little break from it and you’ll probably find that just going about your day will bring progress even if you don’t notice it at this stage.
Are you still working on your 2nd book? Your 1st one was brilliant & i’m looking forward to the 2nd. And it gotme back into reading a bit more too.
Best wishes.
Ann
