Plenty of time to think
Since being home i have plenty of time to think and reflect on my life, before the stroke i was very active being the main breadwinner for the family, taking time to give myself me time such as going to the Gym, working within the community as i have been in the the Lions organisation for 26 years, fundraising for my childrens scout group so they could go to jamboree, and the list goes on.
But post stroke i spend a lot of my time just sitting and watch the world go by. because of mobility problems i can't get outside and enjoy the sunshine, garden, general household jobs etc.
But i haven't given up hope of one day returning to my favourite passions. i know that somedays i go to bed of a night and wishing that this is the last time, but then when i wake i think to my self that there is a lot of people worst of and that i must get over this setback and prove the medicos wrong.
I have read the links about Walkaide, and botox but the seam to be only tempory. One good thing is that my foot is getting closer to the ground and i'm getting better heel strike and more flexablity in my foot. Balance has been a major problem but i will overcome it and its getting better.
i have managed to walk shore distances without assistance but too far, i know that it's more mind over matter.
so never give up hope.
