Acceptance of stroke deficits

Never,never, never.
I haven't gotten to the acceptance part yet, where I am comfortable in where I'm at. I have gotten to the acceptance of the fact that for the rest of my life I will probably always be tired and needing to use 100% of my brain all day/every day. There are still advances but they are almost impossible to measure. If I notice  something not working right I'll  try something to mimic  the movement and then add that to the mile-high list of exercises I should be doing every hour of the day.
Of course according to therapists this would mean I am in denial.

  1. You're where I was after being disabled for 7 years. The attitude got me back into physical therapy at a teaching hospital. Best desision I ever made concerning my disability. Now I'm more accepting of who I am with the limits I have but it doesn't mean I haven't quit trying. I still try every day.

    Suggestion: Talk to a doctor about your level of anxiety.
