    Hi @steve67 good morning,  some people can recover well others not so well, every person is different with different rates of recovery. it also can  take a long time Are you under a stroke team in you area? They will work with you.

    No I’m not under a stroke team as far as I know I had a stroke last September was in hospital for two weeks had a physio visit four times then stopped coming said I just needed to carry on with doing physical things but I’m still not right I have a physio revisiting on Monday to see , so I’m not sure if that is a stroke team or not

    Hello @steve67

    People will heal at their own pace, but I agree with Sandy to check with your physio on Monday. I'm glad you have family around you to support you :) Do you think you'd benefit from having more physio?

    Good afternoon @steve67 :) 

    I'm not sure if any of us could tell you whether you'll have a second stroke. The Stroke Association says the following:

    For many stroke survivors, their greatest fear is having another stroke.

    Once you’ve had a stroke your risk of having another is increased, but understanding what factors may have caused your stroke will help you know how to reduce your risk of having another one. If you’re not clear, go back to your GP and ask for more information about your own risk of a stroke.
