Hi everyone,
I had a stroke due to a blood clot almost 1 year ago. I am still having balance difficulties, gait difficulties (use a cane for every day walking, but due to fatigue, I also keep my walker because I am fearful in walking long distances.
I still struggle with deficits in my strength on my right side, as well as spasticity in my right side, predominately in my right leg.
I fatigue often and am not able to remember things like I could before my stroke... It is almost as if I have to focus to store stuff to memory or constantly recall it... like a song.
My concern is that I have been using and attending therapy, but is this it? Is there still recovery to be done after 12 months or is any recovery minimal?
Thank you all.
