Stroke My Ego
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
A lot of stroke victims’ that I have met have one arm bent up at a ninety degree angle, like I did. I have found no physical reason why this needs to be so even after talking to the doctor. The doctors that we talked to, have said that some people automatically recover from this, while others do not. The doctors and the therapists that I have had did not suggest anything that I should do to recover from this. After considering it for a little while, I came up with a way to work on this and make myself aware of when it happened again. I tried to stop myself from doing this and become aware when I bent my arm by putting my hand in my pocket of my housecoat. I did this so that my arm could not go up without me feeling my housecoat move and thus being aware of it. This way I would become aware of each time my arm tried to raise and then would concentrate on correcting it by putting it back down. After a while my arm tried less and less to go up until it very rarely did it again.
