@IreneFC , rightly so. Not many people (including so-called professionals) realize recovery is a marathon, not a sprint. Sorry to sound like a stuck record.

Stroke isnāt something anyone would recommend but you will find others here who understand and are happy to listen.
Leave the past alone, stop trying to see into the future and begin living today, live with the way things are.

Hello @bobbi Thank you for your words of support. I will try to live a day at a time. My stroke left me a bit disabled though not much. I use a walker and I get occasional epileptic seizures. My husband over protects me so I feel dependant on him. I have probably told you. I value the group greatly.

It is good to have you here. Your comments and questions are always welcome.
I have been visiting here since my stroke four years ago. There have been good times and bad but the others here are kind and supportive. I am pleased to count myself as a member of this community.

I canāt say for sure, but I hope that this post has now demonstrated that:
- we all do things that are right for us
- what is right for me might not be right for you
- things that we do are right for us, may not be right in the long run and we should pause and review
- we say it all the time, but sometimes we forget, or some of us forget that we are all unique and this is not a one cap fits all situation
- no matter how bad we things are for us, there is someone out there for whom things are even worse
- worrying about things will not help
- doing something, anything, will absolutely help, even if you think it doesnāt
- there is nothing you can do that is wrong - even when it is āwrongā you learn from it
- sometimes, all you need to do is just to talk about it.
- you donāt need someone to physically talk to - talk to a brick.
- if you canāt talk - write it down. Get it out of your system
- life does go on after stroke, it might be different but then the path of life often leads to branches where you change directions.
*one and one is one, but sometimes one and one makes three - solve this riddle if you will
The bottom line is itās your recovery, rehab, or whatever term you wish to use, do with it what you will, but do something.
Plant the seed and watch it grow - spring is around the corner and soon it will be in the air. With it comes - whatever you want to come, itās your choice 
Only when somethings makes no sense will it make sense.
My glass when I started this was half full, now it it empty! Yes, I drank the contents and am now suitably refreshed.
Enjoy life, I wish I could, but itās never too late

I prefer stones, much more rounded company. Bricks tend to be a bit blockheaded.

Aye, as you would say, but a stone will roll away and a rolling stone will gather no moss!

from me to you
Early morning a bird awakes and begins to sing its song.
I have risen early. I hear it. It is pleasing.
Iām sure it is singing to the bricks, the stones, the bushes, the sky, the street, the clouds and and and and and and and and . . .
it tells the story so far.
Talk, sing, or write. You have your story. An ear can hear and listens. 
keep on keepin on
