After 8 weeks of therapy I finally was able to walk an entire half a mile without needing to take any rest breaks at a speed of 2.8 mph 😬 this is literally the longest distance that I have been able to walk in the last 10 weeks!! #DeadManWalking When I first started therapy 8 weeks ago I honestly did not have much hope as my brain was pretty damaged from the stroke and my coordination and balance was was negatively impacted so severely that I was bedridden for the first 10 days after the stroke and when I started therapy 3 weeks after the stroke I could only walk at 1.6 mph while holding both of the handrails of the treadmill.....honestly it was pretty scary to experience those first 3 weeks after the stroke....but now after 8 weeks of hard work I can walk almost twice as fast with only needing to hold one of the handrails! Literally thank God my balance and coordination is getting better as my brain and heart is finally feeling some positive recovery from the stroke! Regaining the ability to walk has been one of the biggest challenges since my stroke and these last 10 weeks have taught me a lot of patience, acceptance, discipline, and self-motivation ✌️ #strokesurvivor #strokerecovery #health #brainsurgery #heartsurgery #bloodclot #stillalive #stillbreathing #healthawareness #motivation #recovery #road2recovery #notdeadyet #heart #brain #nutrition #gymmotivation #therapy #progress #physicaltherapy #rehab #ilovewalking #gettingthere
