1995 AVM Stroke Survivor: Walk Paved Path Jacqui Hynd
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 дек 2016
- Jacqui Hynd's video; AVM brain haemorrhage, stroke survivor; had emergency open-brain surgery in 1995. Gait, balance, sensory loss, footdrop, clonus, subluxed shoulder 'walking' daily. This series of video-clips mark my progress through the stroke rehab journey, with: walking, cooking, lacing of shoes, etc.
Walk on cobblestones or gravel pathways; especially cobblestones when wet, is slippery. Gravel is shifting beneath the surface so balance is very important.
Please share my video, thanks.

ReLearning LIFE, 21-years strong, video. Having had severe Aphasia; relearn to talk, relearn to read to write; deal with memory loss. Trapped in a wheelchair, and still have a paralysed arm & hand; relearn to stand to walk. I'm travelling again, taking one-handed photos, and have written cookbooks and travelogues. I was right-handed; now I'm left-handed for everything. 21 years since my stroke in 1995; I was a fit 34 years of age. How far have I come? Celebrate, inspire. Progress is still very possible 20 years or more after a stroke; never give up.

I am so impressed with how you stride out. Like you, I have impaired sensation, but in my left side. I walk around our apartment without an aid, as it is familiar, but walking outside without someone’s arm is much more challenging. I wear an electrical stimulator which helps, but foot drop and spasticity inhibit normal movement. I can cope with walking round a supermarket, as the surfaces are even and smooth, but walking out to the nearby shop, without support is my next aim. My brain haemorrhage from a deep seated AVM was in December 2015, but radiosurgery (Gamma knife) has eliminated it completely. I am still making small improvements due to having a fantastic physiotherapist. The journey is long, but we can surprise ourselves at how far we can go.
J'sREPLY: Hi, thanks for viewing my Walk paved Path video. Lack of feeling is a challenge, as well as wet floors and surfaces. I've had passers-by who brush past me, or upset my balance when I'm concentrating hard - my Walk-videos show my progress: crowded market in Spain; Penang: glass-skywalk Komtar; sandy-beach in NZ, etc. Slowly, slowly, we'll get there. Well done, with the help of your physiotherapist - you've the mental capacity to show your brain haemorrhage is just a blip on the horizon - for me, AVM brain haemorrhage, open brain surgery, radiosurgery using linear accelerator, etc.. only makes you stronger. Take care.
That’s awesome! I am still in a wheelchair after 7 months but optimistic about this
J's-reply: Thanks for comments on my Walk Paved Path. Stroke-Rehab is not definitive, one day at a time; positivity is the key. Best wishes, J.
God bless u maam
You are doing great.😊 I suffer from stroke too 😢
..How are you getting along?...
Great inspiration for us.
J's reply: Thanks for your comments on Walk on paved Paths. I'm improving each year - it just goes to show that persistence to improve does herald results, however long it takes. I have new videos in the pipeline for 2021; so watchout for them; also view my previous videos. Cheers & best wishes.
Gracias for your story I
Had a stroke and some times I lost hope
J's reply: my pleasure. Stroke-recovery may be prolonged.. or relatively quick; keep on keeping-on. Best wishes for your continued progress, one Day at a time.
Great video!! Keep up the good content 💚♥️💚♥️
J's reply: Thank you, will do... more videos soon.

You are doing good and wonder.
Hi, Jacqui's reply - glad you found my Paved-path walk helpful. Thanks for your kind comments; look out for more videos available soon: eg. cut MY own hair, walk-in-a-swimming-pool, escalators, cook/bake, etc... Wishing you all the best, J.
Bless you darling, keep up the good work and yo will get there, i have just had a stroke myself on the left side, its hard work trying to stand and walk a little, but i am trying hard. My best regards to you. 😀
Hi, Jacqui's reply - glad you found my walk video helpful. Standing for the first time after my severe brain haemorrhage, could only manage less than a minute. That was 25 years ago, walking more confidently as we speak, still with a 'gait'. Little by little, it gets easier - I do DIY stroke-rehab for myself, by myself, which is a challenge. Thank you for your kind comments. I've some more videos soon, eg. cut MY own hair, walk, using escalators,... previous videos: walk-in-a-swimming pool without legbrace, etc. Wishing you all the best, for your continued recovery, J.

Gracias
Gracias
U were so young old stroke patients
Can't do all that stuff
Wow❤
Thank you .. it has improved a lot more since 2011
I had a cerebral vascular stroke in 1999, i m using a cane for walk...blessings
Miguel,
Thanks for the message. Almost 18 years ago - you've come a long way.
Blessings indeed.
Take care,
Murray & Jackie
a wrist weight could help with raised arm. for me the afo i feel weakend me and hurt my knee. i do lunge walking to build strength yes different surfaces are different...
Young lady, (#...gurl gives it away)... agree wrist weight can make a difference but there is also the challenge with sublux shoulder - the weight could permanently damage the shoulder muscles - thanks for the considerate input anyway.
AFO aggravates the knee - excellent that you do lunge exercise to strengthen the surround muscle around the knee joint.
Overall you appear to drive your own bus, so to speak, regarding your rehab progress and thats what matters - clinicians may provide some tools, hints and tricks, but its your innate drive to claw back what was stolen from you is the gold nugget.
Go you!
yes it is very hard i drive 1 hr 1 way for lokomat which is expensive but best help so far for gaitnot young 63 yo doesnt have to b that heavy i had subluxed shoulder @@muzza2011nz
my arm does same thing my pt suggested the weight but i am cautios about weights being too heavy@@muzza2011nz
the problem with the arm raising is muscle shortening@@muzza2011nz
I want to walk like you

Semangat pantang mundur
J's reply: thanks very much for comments to Walk Paved Path. Best wishes, J.
can u walk without the brace?
Yes, but not to the same degree. Since there is no objective (read: time dependent) cure for brain trauma effects, a fine line exists between quality of life (using an aid to improve mobility) and curative medical perfection (regain 100% without any aids at all).
using walkaide is much better
J's-reply: Thanks for comments on my Walk Paved Path. Best wishes, J.
i tried the bioness but didnt work how i thought it would felt weaker after using it
YOUR OLD SO DOESNT MATTER
J's reply: Change is good, no matter how long it takes. Thanks for writing in; best wishes.
