Bandaid removal failure
Got the Flu and Pneumonia shots. One in each upper arm with a Bandaid put on the sites. Left arm one was easy to remove, good right arm/hand can easily do the job. The right arm took me rubbing it against the sharp edge of my bathroom mirror to get it halfway off. Then had to continually rub it against a sharp edge of a door frame to get it further. Finally was able to use a long scissors in my right hand to get it removed. I blame my doctor for HAVING NOTHING TO RECOVER MY LEFT HAND. My therapist justified the hand recovery failure by quoting research that said that if you don't have movement at six weeks you're not likely to get it back. I didn't have the presence of mind back then to ask her what she was doing to change that failure to a success.
Every single failure in your stroke recovery should initiate a plan from your doctor, therapists and hospital to change that failure to recovery. If they are not doing that, they are sitting on the failures of the status quo and calling it good. Which means you don't have a functioning stroke doctor or hospital.
