Saying that my stroke was the best thing that happened is, to me, hyperbole. Almost 2.5 years later(and almost a year in hospital/rehab facility) I still wish it hadn’t happened. It has been a long recovery. I have read several books about stroke recovery and this is one of the better ones. I can’t fault the author’s advice. It’s a shame that the health care providers don’t impart good advice or at least recommend such books or podcasts. I joined a Facebook group called “shunt life” for people living with brain shunts, which has been useful too.
