Description 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.
