Why this site?
Since January 17, I have had a lot of time to think about recovery. I had started some OT(occupational therapy) for my memory and related issues, at the hospital. My assigned gal was very helpful and kind, as I was very slow to follow through with the tasks. Then she started a new position after a couple sessions and my future appointments ended. I was disappointed because the hospital did not assign me a new therapist and my help just ended right then and there. I felt lost, and frustrated at the resources online. Yes, there are many sites on stroke, but none I felt very functional-just a lot of the basic information on stroke and causes etc. So I am trying to fill the void and offer information on practical information for us out there-victims and caregivers. I hope this information is useful and practical. I am not an expert and I may make mistakes. I will do my best to provide helpful information, therapy suggestions, exercises and general ideas on causes, recovery and progress. Comments, suggestions, critiques are welcome. Thank you-Darin
