I think I have recovered relatively well because I am willing to take risks on the exercise I do and the situations I put myself into. With no challenges you will likely not recover very well. Magic Johnson did not become a great basketball player by practicing layups, he practiced the hard stuff precisely because it was hard. You are going to have to push your therapists to actively give you therapy that is very difficult. My best example of risk taking is considering and using a chainsaw for therapy, a lesser one is walking in the dark with no flashlight or walking on ice or bar stool rehab.
Your doctor should be telling you that stroke rehab will be the hardest thing you ever will have done.

Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 29,294 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke. DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.
