Aprašymas

Updated 2022 edition

David M Hinds, who has himself made a 100% recovery from a major

stroke, has used many of the techniques he employed as a successful stress

management consultant to create a warmly personal and practical step-by-step

recovery plan. After Stroke is a motivational lifeline for all those recovering

from stroke-and their carers too-helping them to adjust to this new situation.

The author stresses the value of the three 'P's-Patience, Positive attitude

and Perseverance-and includes the following advice:

- Keep calm, stop worrying and hold on to your sense of humour

- Simplify your life and let others help. All that matters is getting well

- Balance periods of healing exertion with much-needed rest

- How the emotions you feel (anger, bitterness, guilt) can be used to

fuel recovery

Complete with information on risk factors; why a stroke occurs and what

happens when it does; clear diagrams to help movement after stroke; how to get

the best care in a specialized stroke unit; how to work hand-in-hand with the

professionals; tests and surgery; and a comprehensive and valuable worldwide

resource section.
