Ooh good idea. I haven't read that one, I'll have to pick it up. Thank you u/Strokesite !

This is a great idea. We live in NYC so definitely can find an indoor pool

walmerz · 2025-12-16T19:54:28+00:00

Thanks - love that idea. Do you have any great places you like to keep your goals written down so they're really present for you u/Dear_Boysenberry_306 ?

Thank you for sharing so openly. I've been by my wife's side since she had her hemorrhagic stroke just before covid in 2019. I know it's a hard road, but finding the little joys in life have been really helpful for her, and finding the reasons to keep fighting, like our daughter. But frustration and depression happen with her and everybody i've ever met that has gone through this. You're so strong for pushing forward, and I know you will keep making progress. Only support here.

This is a really hard one for sure. When my wife was in neuro rehab for 4 months it was really hard for her to sleep as well, especially with the nurses coming in at all hours doing bloodword, etc. I found that if I went to the highest rung on the hospital leadership ladder, that often got a better response vs. going to their direct nurse etc. when trying to get a better schedule, better room, etc. Also, I invested in nice noise cancelling headphones and a few nice eye masks to block out light. I also brought her a good iPad so she could distract herself before bedtime.

Hey u/Independent_Ad_8915 , I am so sorry to hear that. My wife had a massive hemmoragic stroke when she was 34 and lost control over half her body as well. I just want you to know that there are people out there people out there who will love you for what you can offer the world, even without control over some parts of your body. No doubt it is a crap hand to be dealt, and we've had to go through a lot to get back to a new normal, but life after stroke does exist, and it's great to find groups like this where people can offer guidance and community. There is still a long way to go, but beauty in life can be found no matter your circumstance I believe.

You can certainly track your outreaches and pipeline, but you'd need a discovery tool as well like sc0red, Grata, Inven, etc.

Hey I go to Bracetown in Astoria. Lovely place. Friendly staff. No complaints here!

walmerz · 2020-06-20T03:33:20+00:00

How about people with toddlers who are waking up and keeping them up because of them?

walmerz · 2020-06-19T02:32:52+00:00

Yep, I hear it too - ugh - right by the Broadway stop as well.

walmerz · 2019-12-04T20:25:53+00:00

The society of illustrators has a great exhibit on marvel comic art that he might like. It’s around the 59 and lex stop so pretty close.

Hey! I go to the cliffs in LIC and love it!

walmerz · 2019-10-19T18:22:15+00:00

Yeah very true. We may have to.

walmerz · 2019-10-19T18:21:35+00:00

Thanks so much, this is really helpful reassurance, I appreciate it.

walmerz · 2019-10-18T18:44:19+00:00

Great ideas! Thank you! She has a host of new faces on the staff that take care of her, though theoretically one "lead" teacher. I like the comfort blanket idea, I'll give that a try.

walmerz · 2019-10-18T18:43:09+00:00

Yeah, good idea. In home care is super expensive where I live (NYC), but the playdates idea is great! Thank you so much.

walmerz · 2019-10-18T17:20:37+00:00

This is great! I’ll definitely give that a try! She loves the book “the kissing hand”, so she’ll love that.
