No more glasses.

After 2 years of having glasses with prisms in to correct my double vision I had squint surgery this morning and no longer need glasses at all it feels amazing.

Think i found what really triggers my PTSD

So I had my pre op appointment come through for my eyes as my stroke caused double vision and I had a massive sinking feeling and just pure dread. For context I had my stroke after surgery. So this will be fun

Did you even have a stroke

A question i have a lot is did I even have a stroke i don’t look like i did. I will given the severity of it i do feel lucky in the way I don’t have the signature droop. As soon as I speak you know because I sound like a blown gasket. But everyone I have seen has said I don’t even look like i had a stroke some just get a nice answer or a little smirk others get me saying you don’t look like an ass but here we are.

I think im deadpool

Okay im not really sure what to think about it as it doesn’t really make alot of sense to me but I had a doctors appointment yesterday and she said they don’t understand why I can still use my legs as the nerve damage i have is bad and technically I should be paralysed from the waist down but im not. Im in a wheelchair obviously but I can walk with a walker she said they cannot think of any reason why I can still use them. I said the only explanation is im deadpool

Fatigue

Has anyone else who suffers fatigue noticed it get worse suddenly. Im 2 years post stroke and the past week or so I have noticed that I have become increasingly fatigued I don’t overdo myself and I know my limits but I am extremely fatigued to the point I can’t focus on anything.

Has anyone found a TENs machine helpful. I also have acquired ataxia from my stroke and the doctors have recommended using one. I have one anyway but I don’t want to do all the research and things if it only gives a false sense of security.
