I have not had anyone close to me have a stroke, so i have not had experience of the rehab process after a stroke. I have only worked with elderly after a stroke, who are not in rehabilitation. Thank-you for sharing your experience. OT student Thank-you so much for posting you and your husbands story and experience of a stroke.

I did not hit the deer. It ran into my left side and broke my left leg about 3 inches above the ankle, both bones, causing me to fall at about 50 mph. I tumbled and hit my head, not wearing a helmet causing a traumatic brain injury, a TBI. Airlifted to North Memorial Hospital in Robbinsdale Minnesota from a hospital in Shell Lake Wisconsin, close to wear I got hurt, who couldn’t do anything for me. From the TBI I had a series of strokes. I still now can not walk, use my right hand or talk well. My point here is; there is NO helmet law here, Wisconsin, where I got hurt, and Minnesota where I live and if there was and I had a helmet on I would probably not have had this TBI for a helmet would have protected my head. I would like to see a helmet law in ALL the 50 states. I owned and was driving a 2000 Indian Chief and it was totaled out.
