i hate when people tell me at least you’re alive

woopty doo

do you have any other symptoms beside loss of arm?

no by now i regained my lost leg

wow you're in good shape though. i talked to the stroke victim at the facility. he went from nothing to full movement. he thinks you're going to get your arm back and he told me to tell you to do arm exercises with the strap on the weight machine. i'm going to mention you to the physical therapy dept tomorrow when i go back to work.

Did you know you had this condition or did you find out after the stroke?

when i had my second brain angiogram he the doctor said he didn’t need to do anything because the blood stopped to the stuff he needed to cut out. he said that was good news and bad news, you’d think since the blood is not going to the thalamus how could the motor neurons start working again, but since then i did get movement back in my leg, but it’s like out of my hands if it gonna happen in my arm it will or it won’t, people said to recovery you have to be dedicated to tour therapy to get back healthy, which is fine but that’s got nothing to do with getting the motor neurons to connect with my muscles or not

we made a mirror box and i’ve starting mirror therapy so hopefully i can trick my dumb ass brain

my worry isn’t going back to full movement, it’s the time frame of when the initial return start and worrying about that first but never coming

the weak to full movement is easy as far as i’m concerned

no

whoa, mirror therapy sounds sick, man. i was born with Hemiparesis (weakness on one side of body) from a brain bleed when i was born premature.

keep fighting bro. never give up.

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

that’s the thing when people say don’t give up, it has nothing to do with it, i can’t try harder at something and have that return movement. it’s understandable when i have a weak leg and the therapists are saying you just have to work at it to make it stronger to get back to normal, that makes sense. i just can’t wrap my head around the sentiment and i hear it so much it makes me go crazy

sorry man. praying fr that neuron reconnect

rt

did drs mention electrical stimulation therapy?

i did some of that during inpatient at the hospital but now i’m at the home therapy phase and they said they didn’t have access to it, so i have to wait til i get to outpatient therapy when those businesses are able to open and i’m sure they’ll be doing that

Damn man, glad youre ok, recovery is going to be tough but you made it this far already. Hope the rest of recovery goes smooth for you

thanks fam, i’m hoping i can have a ‘rest of my recovery’ at all

Prayers your way 🙏🏽

how you doing today man?

where do you live lol, it’s still ‘today’ haha

almost 9 oclock at night but my day is just starting because i live with a bunch of attention w****s that don't f*** off til late at night and come out for munchies.

Stay strong bro

we’re on the same time then nevermind

i’m trying fam

That’s all we can do man

Better than giving up

why you so f***ed up about the arm, you could be dead right now
