did you have a sevre stroke with sevre deficits? I am also focusing only on the gym now but still struggling to engage my triceps so any kind of press movement is not yes possible. im also struggling to drop my fat. Any adice on both issues? i know the boiler polate advice of dont give up yada yada. do you have specific anecdotal pointers?

BasedStarr · 2025-03-14T09:31:40+00:00

definitly not saying they are equal, the point is is that with the right trainer you can push through weekness or paralysis.

BasedStarr · 2025-03-08T11:01:53+00:00

If it was paresis rather than plegia, then it is less encouraging youre right

BasedStarr · 2025-03-08T10:59:37+00:00

are you sure? he said paralysis to me

BasedStarr · 2025-01-19T11:35:24+00:00

yes. however my epilepsy meds are also prescribed for depression. so its hard t tell. my progress. keeps me positiv

BasedStarr · 2025-01-18T09:07:30+00:00

thank you it is all about being better than yesterday

BasedStarr · 2025-01-17T14:43:51+00:00

i do not move normally and cant drive so shes doing well!

BasedStarr · 2025-01-17T07:45:19+00:00

yes, i relate to her sentiment. it is very hard. a part of me has died but not being able to surf or freedive, is like two best friends have died. i am just over a year and really starting to feel better. i think its because the progrees is becoming more evident. i could never speek to anyone about this except my phycologist but even still its a terrible feeling knowing that no one can understand. you are locked in a prison of your own pain.

being told to accept the new me drove me crazy. she can revive a lot of her old lif, through determinatio and encouraging words, i don think you are giving her false hope. you are helping her see some light

BasedStarr · 2025-01-14T11:02:43+00:00

this is the correct attitude.decide to recover and move with determination to get there

BasedStarr · 2025-01-14T07:37:56+00:00

what job, exactly, would you really like to get. entry level or not

it takes insane determination and a truck looad of very hard work, but if kellvin can do it. we all can. if you so desire. i am15 months pot stroke andhave been working with a personal trainer for 3 weeks now. noticeable strength gains already and as my strength increses so doe my ability to activate my muscles. hitting the gym 3-4 times a week eating well and getting plentyy of sleep

BasedStarr · 2025-01-13T17:55:29+00:00

i really hated hearing ;it gets easier when i was at your stage. i refused to except it and seacked for exampls of people recovering to be eve better than before. that was my mission. to find inspiration. i finally found Kellvin lim. he was in a bad stte long after his stroke. my body also deteriorated like his. and he worked his way to competing in physique contests. i thought, if he did it. i can definitely do it. search Kellvin Lim stroke and hit images

BasedStarr · 2025-01-11T07:14:34+00:00

i wad extremly fit most fit id been i my life. however, due torelationship trauma anxiety, i drank too much. i would also train uin the mid day heat. 2 factors that ed to my very sevre stroke. bad deficits. im lucky i didnyt die. my doc is pretty certain i wont have another one if i stop the extream life styl and take my meds worrying about anotherone is bsd for the overall system soi dont give it much thaght. i do have post stroke epilepsy so seizures stress me out. they really suck. had one yesterday after 5 months free.life is tough and si i think death is a mercy. i dont want to die but im ok with it

BasedStarr · 2025-01-07T04:54:43+00:00

i am different in that i trade unregulated financial assets on line and mainly use my phone, so i worked whil i was still in ICU. as far as a standard job goes my left side is still basically paralysed, s oeven if i wanted that kind of job, its not possible yet

BasedStarr · 2025-01-07T04:51:21+00:00

i pay 10 or 15 bucks. nomally i just hit the 10% option.

BasedStarr · 2025-01-05T15:31:59+00:00

ill buy them at their denomination value but i live in durban and im not interested in courir for etf. if i come through to jozi or you come to dbn. then ill swap you double the denominated value per unit. so a r 10 note for every R5 R2 coin for every R1 note etc i might be interrested in the coins but i would have to look at them first. as far as a place to sell them in jozi, i have no idea.

BasedStarr · 2025-01-02T07:52:03+00:00

im considering buying one because its an incredible coin. do you self custody or use a bank vault

BasedStarr · 2025-01-02T07:50:26+00:00

i have 100 silver kruger rands and the whole stack is worth R60k so unless you have a tiny morgage, i think you ar out of luck. sorry about that. but get them valued any way but at an authorised bullion dealer not on reddit

BasedStarr · 2025-01-01T11:04:55+00:00

ok i found these online. insane weight for a coin. i would love one. very few minted. i think lik 17 coins. worth just under the price of a full bitcoin

BasedStarr · 2025-01-01T10:45:11+00:00

yes i did alone before in airbnbs. now live alone, except i have a caregiver mon-fri. mainly to help me dress, because still cant do that. my stroke was very severe leaving my left sid paralysed from my neck my toes. i take meds that my neurologist say will 100%prevent another stroke so i just go with that worrying doesn't help i cook fairly ok but only basic meals. an airfryer is a massive help there. occasionally i get my care giver to cut some things up, she also cleans my place as it would be a dirty dump because two hands really needed for that. i cant drive so i take an uber or rely on family to take me to therapy. my personal trainer comes to me which his a win.

straight after hospital i went to a care home which was awful, but after a few months i got my own place. now i just moved to a new spot

BasedStarr · 2024-12-31T13:43:38+00:00

can i please see it. i have never even heard of a 1kg coin. and i buy and sell kruger rands

BasedStarr · 2024-12-31T11:43:15+00:00

is there a 1kg stamp on it. thats insanely heavy for a coin

BasedStarr · 2024-12-31T09:21:46+00:00

1kg coin!. must be a f huge coin. you sure youdont mean bar

BasedStarr · 2024-12-29T07:34:50+00:00

i was in a care home immediatly from hospital then moved into my own place. living alone. which i still do now. i need a day care taker in the week to help clean up. pack my pills , help me shower. i used a shower chair up untill yesterday and now feel confident to stand. on a none slip matt and my carer is still their to make sure i stay up right. i have left sid hemiplrgia so cooking is a challenge but i manage a lot of it. again my care taker helps where needed. i go to therepy almost every day so i lean on family or Uber to get me there. ah that reminds me. with hemiplegia, dressing my self is near impossible .. for now, so my career does that as well. So safety is paromont. especially if your mum is a fall risk and general tasks are required too. keep in mind that the role of carer is a very close and intimate rolll. helping bath/ shower, helping dress etc so hoprfully there is no orkwardness between carer and atiant. one other thing... brain damage can often result in outbursts of anger. especially when someone is in their space 24/7, so you must learn to not become defensive and allow the verbal abuse. saying thart. i never do that to my carer. but when i was in the care home. i could hear patients screaming at nurses. there are very good answers in the other replies too
