After Stroke Some Things to Consider A stroke is an event. It is not an illness or a disease.
People experience the event, they stabilize, and the event is over.
The person who has experienced the stroke is suddenly changed in many ways, but in other ways they have not. Don't dwell on what you can not do. Consider what you can do. Make plans for what you would like to be able to do. Create some simple goals, and then break them down into small steps.
