6-7 weeks progress

[Spadge]

So 6/7 weeks since I suffered a stroke.

Starting to see some progress since I was left paralysed down my dominant right side (both limbs) and numbness affected my speech.

I’d ordered an iron maiden and bought another walking dead pre stroke, plus got Woz at home. I’ve since let the IMDN go since it was NIB and I wasn’t sure if I would recover - that drove me nuts!

I spent 4-5 weeks in hospital and am now recovering at home, originally wheelchair bound, I only now need it for lengthy journeys, using a walking stick or nothing at all about the house - which is good progress, albeit I’m very slow.

But today I was able to walk unaided to my woz and use my bad arm to launch the ball, whilst I can’t flip it yet and am walking skin to the walking dead, I’m on the way back

Good to hear mate.
Remember and try don't get frustrated. It takes time and that is great progress.
Good to have a goal to aim for too but I would think the doctors would laugh if it was to plunge a ball at full tilt ?

Good to hear you're getting there m8.

 

[Ads Nems]

Good to hear you are on the road to recovery. Take each day and small improvement as they come.

 

[Durzel]

Take it easy Spadge, as said above going slow and not expecting too much too soon is critical.

Had a ex-colleague suffer a stroke and it was a life changing event for him, he was frustrated with himself that he couldn't just get back to doing everything that he did before.

Your pins will be there waiting for you when you're ready to get back onto them again.

All the best Spadge.

Good stuff Spadge. Glad to hear it.

I like to think that pinball is helping with your recovery. I think pinball machines should be in every hospital to help recovery. That would be great.

I did joke about that but it’s a mod I’ve been keen to live without
