Discover the truth about stroke through the eyes of a survivor. Find out what it feels like to be looking from the inside out and understand why they behave the way they do. Some of what you will read is not available in any other books. Once exposed to stroke, it comes on fast. No one expects it or has the chance to plan for the future. It is usually the family and partners that take on the unrewarding role of caregiver. Bearing in mind that none of them have any formal training. They dive headfirst into a situation they know little about, without giving it a second thought. The demands are enormous, and they don't adhere to normal working hours. Informal caregiving is a twenty-four-seven job, and many will find that they have bitten off more than they can chew. They could find themselves in deeper water than they had expected. Caring for a survivor, informally, is a role taken on out of love, unconditional love for the survivor they are caring for. Few relationships can endure this extreme challenge. The author, an 11-year-plus post-stroke survivor, wrote this book to help educate the informal-caregiving family on what to expect. You will find out ways to make things easier for them and yourself. You will understand why they do what they do. Surviving a stroke puts their dignity to the test. Find out why they need to attend all the arduous therapy sessions and why they are so important.
