I want to help people learn what I didn't know, and so I think it's so important for caregivers to know, because no one can read my mind.
Imagine waking up one day with vision, balance, and speech issues after a stroke, yet feeling better than ever. That’s the story of Sheri McIntyre. In this episode of 'Recovery After Stroke', Sheri takes us through her journey from being a stroke patient to becoming a resilient survivor. Despite the challenges posed by an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) rupture in her early 50s, Sheri has spent over eight years uncovering ways to support brain healing and regain independence.
Her insights have culminated in a program called Steps to Brain Health for Stroke Survivors, designed to complement medical treatments and other therapies. Sheri emphasizes the importance of support after leaving the hospital and how crucial it is for stroke survivors to reclaim their independence without others doubting their capabilities. One fascinating aspect she shares is the potential of retraining the tongue to improve balance after inner ear damage.
Sheri also touches on the often-overlooked issue of mental health in stroke recovery, encouraging open discussions about invisible struggles. Her story is not just informative but deeply inspiring, offering practical advice and emotional support for anyone navigating life post-stroke.
