I went from being unable to lift my left arm over my head to doing that with 10lbs.....but only 7 times thus far. My walking gate is all F ed up.....and the weather is a limiting factor. A tread mill incredibly booooooring.

No family history of strokes, i'm the first. It hit the 30 minute puke button. Couldn't see for 48 hrs. Entire left side down. Got to walking as soon as possible leaning against stuff, rubbery legged. People think your drunk. No desire to drink alcohol ever again, don't like the feeling. Couldn't drive, dizzy like your in a non-stop elevator. I was very lucky only lasted couple of months. Rehab said I was the fastest recovery she had ever seen. I was super motivated. Still get dizzy occasionally in the dark. HOPE you are doing well, I have an incredible empathy for stroke victims now(since I am one). I remember telling my wife on the way to the hospital " it's a cruel joke"
edit: stamina got cut in half...
