Episode 16 – Q&A – Different topics that stroke survivors live with
Are you a stroke survivor with a few unanswered questions about daily life? You are not alone. Most, if not all stroke survivors go through their post-stroke life, living it differently from your average person. This is true, but why is it worth talking about, or worth listening to a podcast about it? Well as stroke survivors think differently as well as life different lives than they used to as well as live differently than others, it is well worth understanding your new self deeply. To not feel alone and to know others are going through the same as you brings a lovely sense of relief that can not be explained.
