    About this ebook

    "After the Stroke" is a short synopsis of some of the problems experienced following survival of a stroke. It is an attempt to share with other stroke-survivors and give them an idea of what has been experienced by others. The ultimate goal is that reader feedback will lead to a longer, in-depth book that can serve as a "reference" for stroke-survivors, their caregivers and loved ones, and all others with an interest in the subject.

      Out of control

      The difference between chores and tasks

      Responsible yet not

      Getting ‘back to normal’

      Introduction

      The following is not meant to be complete and thorough. Instead, it is a primer for stroke survivors and those who care for them, as well as others with an interest in the topic.

      It is intended to be short and easily-digestible. Immediately following my stroke, I was capable only of reading items that were short and informative. The ability to read long stories was not there. I simply could not focus for extended periods of time.

      When I survived my stroke, I had a very difficult time finding anything that addressed my questions, which were sometimes as simple as, Is this normal? and Do other stroke-survivors feel this?
