Zieg,sorry to hear about what your going through.
When you have a minute read up on Tedy Bruschi, a
New England Patriot that had a stroke and made a full recovery.
He continued to play for the pats after the stroke.
My thoughts are with you & your family

Fitz.

Update: I had my last test, a TEE which was looking for clots which they didn't see any.  Blood pressure is being regulated and occupational therapy stopped in to assess.  They are recommending in-patient therapy which the hospital I am in is well known for a great program.  I am very optimistic for a good recovery, only time will tell.  I have a great support system with family and friends.  It is difficult to type with one hand so my input will be shorter than usual, but KNOW I care deeply for this forum and read every single post which I learn way more than I contribute.  Thanks again for the well wishes, prayers and friendship.

Wish you the best of luck man!

I had a stroke when I was 24 that made left my whole left arm from the shoulder down without feeling and without control below the elbow.  They said this was permanent.  Did some therapy but they gave up on it after a few months.  well i kept on at home and, well it took a couple of years, but I slowly got control back first, then feeling anf once I was about 27 or so, I had full use back of my arm and most of the feeling.  today at 31 I have full use and full feeling back.  I had to give up anything fun like cars for 2 or 3 years.  was a depressing few years.  But I kept doing what I do and I got it back eventually. 

I remember before I got my feeling back, always walking around with my hand bawled up in a fist.  I was so scared I'd break my pinky off and not feel it I kept them in fists all the time to protect it.  And kept that hand in my pocket as much as possible... in a fist.  maybe that helped some, who knows...  no telling with this stuff.

It won't be fun, and it probably won't be quick, but there's a great chance you'll get what you lost back later on.  The therapy is a serious pain in the butt, but it works; no doubt!  don't give up man!

I know what you're going through brother.  I had forgotten most of my problems with this (cuz I wanted to)  I remember more and more now.  I'm not complaining, I just know how lucky I have been.  I think you can be that lucky too man!  I'm praying for you!  I can talk some if you want to PM.  if you don't, that's good too.  I know typing is a pain in the butt.  I just want to let you know, I've been there,  and it can get better, but it may take a butt load of effort. 

I remembered too, I had the arm, but the left side of my face sagged and I drooled for 3 mos.  it was bad.  I wouldnt leave the house.  but my mother helped me work on it and we got past it.  my face cleared up, then eventually so did my arm. 

So take it from me man, no meds, no actual therapy, other than me continuing what the docs had me doing before they gave up, and I got back to 98%  I say 98% only because my left arm tends to tire more easily than the right, but I'm not complaining.  and on top of that I wrecked my old truck flipped it 6 times, and the seatbelt messed up the same arm even more.  I'll never complain though, because that seatbelt is why I'm alive today.  I'm tickled to death I'm so well off!  You'll get there again brother!

So sorry about the stroke and you will be in my prayers!  You can do this!!  It no doubt will take a lot of hard physical therapy work for you, but the outcome from that will be great!  I have seen some family go through this and the best advice I have witnessed is to give it your all.  The best outcomes have come from those who really put a lot of work into physical therapy.  I am sure it is no doubt mentally draining, but I want to encourage you that it is worth it!

Prayers for you and your family my friend!

The human body is a mystery. No one knows why some things happen, but miracles can happen and you'll be good as new in no time. If you have as much dedication to healing as you do for this forum, you'll be on the fast track to turning wrenches again. Best of thoughts to you, and your family, my Chevy brother.
