George Vickery's Story - Exercise After Stroke (full version)

[Music] [Music] George was very keen a happy-go-lucky love life love socializing getting a family man absolute fantastic family man me husband there's nothing he wouldn't do for you nothing even do for the cats good after that was one ease things that I probably thought a bit struggle with because he couldn't work anymore that stroke there's not a high percentage that survivor but then I think back to when he came back from Turkey and then when he first came home and then he but home for a weekend and I thought that this isn't gonna work I'm gonna have to get my job [Music] so I first met George about four weeks after his stroke no one was sure how much he would recover the toughest stroke he had was quite a very serious one as the all upper his was particularly tough he didn't know what to expect his family didn't know what to expect his mobility was really poor can walk without the the walking aid so initially the first one we reach any stroke survivors helped get down on and off the floor that's really empowering and that sets a good a good precedence for how to approach each session that you don't know what you can do and the only way to find out is by testing things and trusting us that we're gonna guide them the right way and focus their efforts to get results because to him was being able to walk into Tynecastle and walk up the steps again and sit in his seat I think that was quite a big goal for him or something that gotten quite fired up and give us a bit of focus as well because then became about walking up stairs being able to balance being able to a certain distance by himself initially we could only manage about 10 meters before we'd have to have a break and each session will just increase that gradually [Music] eventually was able to walk without as Walken aide all the way up the steps which were about 150 odd into the gym to do a workout back down again and I think that stuff through his hard work on consistency [Music] like I was all well mostly we don't domesticate life away the stuff so okay and then I'm on my door I'll have a someone there and just just kept on for the longest in Milwaukee for at home well first don't they think it takes a brick oven what well tell you when something will tell you in order what we hope with the first three what is what your life raft that other people are yeah but we treated otherwise what your life is won't you be life with me you through tougher well you should be yourself in three month as he joins a few thousand walk a step with example I never did a couple hundred wheels are tape everything McKenna has the word II tried the mood you did they the circle against my practices through this log and I'll keep on to Delta a toy yet there I admire Dhamma I don't think I would that be neighborly faith as much as her every single day in life to go up we about but he doesn't he doesn't so how often these things can happen it was only forty seven minute to get him so it wasn't that you know it wasn't old but there's not any reason so it's a case of looking after yourself George worked that much they never went got checked all the time and he should have I feel had they taking me a claim it doesn't mean he see it wouldn't around him but you know look after yourself [Music] myfunlife thoughts it's also an aha [Music] we have passionately a team which thoughts has made hopefully the teachers would can be si well he'd ever went that he's done hard work determination and hopefully and more resourceful what it seems we think [Music] you
