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.
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 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.
I had a stroke during brain surgery & I have aphasia as well as other things-I'm insulted by this video. We are not stupid!! We are still the same person!! Just because it's difficult for us to speak, move, get words out etc. does not mean people should talk to us like we are dumb!
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 for this. I am a nursing student and communication is the biggest key to successful treatment. God bless.

this is ok but the stroke i had folks don't get it because it doesn't show like this. it may work for some, not for all.
