hey David: sorry to hear abour stroke, feeling depressed about "whyme" is natural after stroke but start looking at positives in your life, for me writing blogs on this site was major therupetic for me, I made great friends, and felt less alone, I stroked at 34(I was software engineer), & my stroke left me paralysed on my left side, after 3+ years I still can not use my left hand but I have found happiness one more time with my family and friends. I learnt what matters in life now, currently I love to spend quality time with my son Asha

kimmie: I am sorry about your fall, bfore leaving rehab I wanted to master how to get up from floor, and I am glad I did, since I don't worry about it anymore. the way I try is position my bad foot in proper position and push from my good arm and get into standing position and once I am stable on my good foot I put weight on my bad foot and then ready to roll. though at rehab they first showed me get close to bed or sofa and then push yourself up. keep on practicing it for few times and you wil be fine, my hubby made a rule of sleeping on floor which forces me to get up from floor in the night, in the begining I did curse him, but I am glad he did that now.
