i read it earlier, the frustrating thing about this stuff is that it’s all so different and specific your age, prior health, fitness and everything all play a factor in what comes back so it’s so different case by case. my friends moms arm didn’t work for a tear and now she’s perfectly fine so it’s like who’s to say really it’s just a long ass waiting game
Wish you the best, you can definitely overcome this. My mum has two brain hemmorhages years ago and she recovered from both.
You’ve got this.
10 days and one more sunday to get through
(sunday there is no therapy so the day is 8 til i fall asleep and with no visitors it’s torture)

thank you man i appreciate it
ended up in the DMs with a nurse she said hmu when you’re out
nice man. you sound young enough to make a full recovery. i work with stroke victims regularly. horrible stuff.

a lot of older stroke cases don't improve. there's a middle aged guy at the facility with a dubious history. however he went from having a trach and not being able to move, to walking talking and eating normal food.
he is slightly impaired cognitively, but he had two strokes. his were from lifestyle factors like bad diet. he's also a convicted pedophile. but he has a mostly normal life.
at 24, from what i know, you have a great potential to lead a completely normal life.
i was born with a brain bleed, and despite developing mental illness as an adult, i have a master's degree, and am intellectually a genius.
the human body and brain are amazing. as long as you are able to reduce stress in your life, and find ways to reduce stress like exercise, prayer, deep breathing, meditation, it sounds to me like you'll be fine.

i think so too, albeit the recoveries are different for everyone these old people in my rehab are swinging off the ceiling like tarzan when they are getting discharged so i don’t see why not me.
just info for you i’m currently walking with a cane and if i squeeze real hard like i’m flexing my arm pulls up to my face and the therapists are going crazy but i can’t really be excited til i’m actually feel like i’m doing something. but considering this happened on feb 21 it’s been under two months and if i’m doing that it can only mean good
my friends moms arm didn’t move for a year and now she’s perfectly fine. and i read that 60% of stroke patients can walk independently in 6 months so i keep that stuff in my head instead of the negtives, try to at least.

yeah, it's encouraging a nurse has the hots for you. that must mean she forsees you living an independent life, as far as i can see, anyway.
you will probably wind up with a higher quality of life than others of your generation, because you will know not to take your health for granted in the future.
you suffered from a freak accident, but God wills everything for his good, so there must be a good outcome. i would be surprised if you didn't make a full recovery. you may have residual motor idiosyncracies like limp or arm movement like you mentioned. but life will be very much worth living.

gl on your recovery chief
what do you do for work?
i work as a neuro rehab specialist at a neuro rehab. i write lesson plans and try to stimulate people with brain illnesses, and brain injuries.
i work with virtually every type of brain impairment. it is one of the most stressful jobs there is, especially for someone with chronic depression, but i truly live the beatitudes and help the less fortunate everyday.
stroke, alzheimer's, korsakoffs, bipolar, schizo, dependence disorder, trauma induced brain injury (people who got jumped, fell off motorbikes) you name it, i work with it.
it's killing me but i'm happy to be employed

it’s called an angiogram. apparently an artery there or in your groin travels to your brain and that’s where they go up it’s insane

almost everyone has some form of cognition. i briefly worked at a facility in a different role where it was all somewhat vegetative.
