Hi, I am a 41-year-old from the Philippines. I had a stroke June 30, 2015 and am now continuing to recover. I used to be a journalist but I am in a semi-retired, or shall I say, in hibernation mode now. I am described by my doctors as a right CVA, left hemiparetic, I have recovered movement in my left arm, thanks to my excellent PT, and acupuncturist, but I still have a drop foot in my left leg. Can I still fully recover. Your site has inspired me and given me hope. Thank you.

[…] The plateau is real – and it’s a true test of your patience and determination. While experts once thought that the plateau was the end of stroke recovery, new studies show that it’s far from the end. While your visible gains will slow down after a certain amount of time, it doesn’t mean that progress isn’t still underway. You just have to stay dedicated and trust the process. With your schedule, progress journal, and plenty of sleep, nothing should be able to shake you. Not even a plateau. […]
