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.
