2022 AUGUST

Wow this year is flying absolutely flying and before we know it we will be embracing the C word yet again but lets just hold it right there, lets not run before walking, Its August, lets enjoy it and all that it brings.

I often touch on reflection but I cannot stress enough about the many blips you experience as a stroke survivor and I am sorry but if it is a case of falling over 6 or 7 times then you get back up again and if need be get up that 8th time.

Recently a guy who we have been helping sent me quite an emotional message confirming the realisation of what has happened to him and I just said yes great that you have acknowledged whats happened, accepted it and appreciated how far you have come and it is so so true.

Small steps lead to get strides.

Touched on it last month but what need tor Stroke is:-

AAA Factor

A = Awareness – the more awareness we can raise, we can let people know what its like to actually have a stroke.

A = Acknowledgement – I firmly believe that part of the recovery journey is the acceptance acknowledgement that it has happened, not why but the hard, difficult aspect of realising it has happened.

A = Acceptance – I have seen with my own eyes that as soon as the individual has accepted that it has happened and it cant be undone but improvements can be made every single day the recovery truly starts.

Closely followed or in fact prior to that is the EEE Factor

E = Education

E = Education

E = Education

The lack of understanding and knowledge of this medical condition is absolutely scandalous and StrokeInformation is slowly addressing this by getting the stroke survivor back into employment again and if the survivor is of an age where employment isn’t for them then at least making them feel empowered and worthy once again.

I would love the opportunity to educate anyone about
neuroplasticity and what the brain can do.
