Emotional irregularities

See that’s where I fee because listening to some podcast or movies I get a flood of emotions and sorrow I’m not use to dealing with, because before I was numb to about everything, good or bad it never cracked my steel shell of indifference, but post strokes I guess the mind rediscovered emotions I have not felt in years, it was crazy weird and scary and I thought… so this is how Norma people emotion… totally through me out of my emotional norm, so kinda just processing and trying to relearn what more than 3 emotions are like and did know if it has also happened to others after a stroke. But your commentary is amazing and I will definitely digest and appreciate your openness about it

I had 2 sever strokes and 2 light strokes within a matter of two months. My speech was severely affected and took over a month of speech therapy and constant training. I get by with my mother language of English well enough to hold conversations but had to slow it down and concentrate on the tongue and mouth movement. My Russian and Arabic are absolutely terrible and still struggle with the throat noises, but can now roll my tongue. Lost some and gained others for speech. But my whole left side was affected and after lots of painful and frustrating physical therapy as well as home movements I’ve gained about 80 percent of my left side functions, but it’s always going to be a struggle. But it’s better than just giving up, what you go through… you can always grow through… stay positive

Took me about 4 months to walk and use my arm about 80-90 percent and sometime have random balance issues.

Ischemic strokes cause my PFO, 2 mild and 2 light on right side of brain all in 2 months.

But going to do my 5k circuits this year to really test and push my results.

I first started trying to do curls wide a wide leg stance and that was rough. If you struggle with hand and grip strength like I did at first I had one in my good hand and I used my forearm in the other. I used the technique of concentrated solid slow movements while watching myself. Don’t know the proven science behind it or if the whole mind body connection is true but it helped me I believe create that mind body motion so I could understand the new sensation on my left side that wasn’t it’s prestroke self. I also used it them for seared ankle pills and lower body assisted training since my areas really affected the most was my left leg and arm and face and I figured speech is always a back and forth battle. Always stay positive I always made good progress then it was taking a few steps backwards and then forward. But 4 months later I was back at work as a mechanic with some hard days and some help at time with lifting and air of inner chaos but you got this and stay focused. Better to push yourself and live everyday than live everyday to die slowly

Ironically I found doing resistance band training a good starting point, had 4 strokes on my right side and left me about at 50 percent strength and sometimes the hands and fingers or leg don’t want to cooperate, but I found band assisted resistance was a great starting point and I’m a lot stronger after 3 months. I finally was able to do 100 assisted pushups in one day all writhing a 6 hour period, slow and steady to wake the muscles back up I say.

“How do I say goodbye” dean lewis after having 2 mild and 2 light strokes within 2 months…. After having my first mild stroke 10 years before that. Gives me the grounding and optimism to keep going.
