If you wait another day
You'll let it slip away
Don't let love pass you by
Only come around
Every once in awhile in awhile

I'm almost two months into my recovery. Rehab was everything.

I respect what the doctor says but both my arm and feet didn't start waking up till year 2...yeah..year two. I've actually focused on stroke for many years with my job s a massage therapist. You can't believe everything a doctor tells you. I know the coping mechanism for disabled people but with stroke..yOU ARE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT, till you regain back the movement. Still though. exercise is the key because your retraining to brain the proper form for movement and obviously look good too haha. Oh, one more thing I had a major stroke, for those who want to know. It will be the hardest thing you've ever come across. It will test your patience and your well being....good luck. If I can do it...you can too!
