Hi Karen,

Sorry to hear of your stroke. Attitude is really "where it's all at!!" I am a former R.N. and have had considerable experience with stroke (CVA) patients. A general rule of thumb is: the sooner you get return of function, the more return of function you can expect. Therefore, do that P.T. and O.T. like you climbing a big hill ... and pretty soon you WILL be!!!

Best wishes ,
Nina
