Hello ! I can totally understand your pain and am sorry to know about what you underwent . My first advice for you would be to not lose heart and hope . Recovery after a stroke depends on many factors like the amount of brain damage and the physical implications after that , on how soon you start rehabilitation , on how diligently you do your exercises and last but not the least how positive you stay!! Please don t wait for a day when you will be normal , just keep working towards it and do not quit ! Rehabilitation and recovery after a stroke could be very promising . Regular and rigorous movement therapy , in the form of guided ( passive movements and active assisted or active movements ) , gait training , hydrotherapy where possible , speech therapy ( part of occupational therapy ) is the treatment that is generally done post a stroke. As you progress physically , your physiotherapist will guide you through more and more complex activities , for improving body balance and coordination and try to get to as near normal as possible. After stroke , it all about re- learning the lost functions , just like you would teach a small child . Do not fret over what is lost , work to gain back what you ve lost ! Start reading and scribbling , helping with simple household chores , try do as many things by yourself as possible ( all of this of course within your physical limitations and if medically permitted , the more you move , the better for you ) You are very young , so age is on your side and your chances of recovery should generally be good. You could also look out for a neuro physiotherapist , who is specialised in all sorts of similar neurological cases and special neuro rehabilitation centres if available in your area . Also make sure you keep you weight under control , as with limited mobility , chances are you will put on weight quickly . You might want to meet a dietician to help you with it . Wish you all the best and hope you reach your best soon ! Keep trying , don t Quit !
