My most recent stroke was September 1st 2023. It was number three. Currently the most helpful therapy has been therapeutic ultrasound. It took a while to find the right location and get it started but it is taking the pain in my shoulder from a 10 to a four. How am I feeling now? terrible. I've never been this down, frustrated, and alone after a stroke. My executive functioning has dropped to almost zero. I am having to come to acceptance of that but it's hard to get anybody to listen and to help me with more support. So at this point if they get unhappy with me because I'm not scheduling appointments or eating I'm just going to look at them and say well then there you have it. I can't do what I cannot do. I can't get more support because of my age. On a positive note, my walking did come back quickly and I am able to talk even though at times I don't say the correct words or I have difficulty making sentences.

I appreciate you sharing more, @hopeann44. It must be discouraging to try to get back to what used to be normal after having three strokes. Regarding your speech and word finding, I'm wondering if you have had speech therapy? If you have exhausted your therapy benefits, there are some great YouTube videos that help with speech therapy, post-stroke, that you might find helpful. Here is a link to some of those speech exercises, https://www.youtube.com/@beyondhighc

In my community, the senior center has a support group for post-stroke patients. Have you looked into that in order to gain more support?
