  • Excellent advice.I learned this from my own experience with my dad who had a stroke two months ago.He listened to the weakest person`s instructions but refused to cooperate with physiotherapist`s orders but later we got a new physiotherapist who was more understanding.and encouraged everyone to accept my dad as the person who was before which made a big change,he managed to walk independently in six weeks.still on medication to alleviate the problem & physiotherapy but eager to get well soon

  • Very helpful.Thanks!

  • Like, even though their brains are hosed, they are still entitled to proper acknowledgement, consideration & respect. What if (perish the thought) your brain was hosed? How would you want to be treated? Think about it, babes!

  • thank you so much for doing such a great job with making this video. I to am a stroke survivor and I have had seen all of those happen to me.

  • Thank u great video

  • I found this very helpful!

  • i had a stroke when i was 30 somthing,ha ha funny i cant remember when! i think it has something to do with character and inner strength..that gets you through..oh and good physio. i sit scared waiting for the next one .its a possibility that scares me so i live as full a life i can.I count my self as lucky!

  • My husband had a stroke almost 8 months ago. This is a fine offering and I have sent it to many of our friends. Thanks for preparing it.

  • I've had 4 strokes. Each one left me with varying degrees of limitations. This video is bang on for how you should be treated.

    I had friends who did the right things like the video showed and believe me - it was wonderful. The one's who did the opposite ticked the crap out of me.

    It's been 7 years since my last stroke and I still have side effects. People can't understand that even though I don't look like it, I still need people not to rush me or my brain freezes. It frustrates them.

  • VERY true,

    A good friend of mine survived a massive ICH 4 years ago.

    Though to look at him today you could NOT tell hes had a stroke of any kind.

    He has worked very hard everyday to recover

    what he lost.

    Just try and treat him like a handicapped person, & you're likely to get an ass chewing.

    He will tell you just as this vid

    EVERY stroke and survivor are different.
