So I finally got up enough courage to attend my first Stoke Support Group. There were about 20 people there about half of them came over from the in-house rehab unit.
My findings were interesting. Like i said, half came from in-house and the rest from other. Half women and Men. I found that some of the people who attended have been going to this group for Five years! I was very surprised. Why? I never considered this?
I was the youngest but we all had the same stories but different. In the end, we all need to understand one thing, you will get better. You may not ever be 100% but you will get better. It seemed like the newbe’s were Extremely grateful to hear, those words. Its going to be ok!!!! You will get better!!!. A lot of the doctors and aids, in rehab and at hospital, never handed me that encouragement. So let me do it now, you will get better! After making it through the darkest time of my life, which took about 8 months, I have said since, The stroke was a blessing.
Another time for that story!
