Taking Charge Of Your Stroke Recovery: A Personal Recovery Workbook »

Just six months after his wedding, patent attorney Roger Maxwell had a devastating stroke. After his health insurance ran out, he was left with severely compromised vision, speech, balance, was unable to swallow, and had no chance of walking without a cane. He was told he could do nothing but cross his fingers. He and his wife Kathy refused to accept this "life sentence" and Roger researched and devised a program for himself that brought him to full recovery from all his remaining infirmities. Today he is an avid marathon runner and works full-time as a patent attorney. Roger collaborated with writer Daveda Lamont and stroke caregiver Kathy Maxwell to develop this easy-to-follow, scientifically based stroke recovery program and help more stroke survivors recover.

A groundbreaking recovery method for stroke survivors who don't want to give up on life. As many as 50% of stroke survivors remain disabled to some degree, sometimes severely, with no way to continue their recovery after the insurance gives out. Patients are often erroneously told there is nothing they can do but wait and see. But there are really no limits on how fully they can recover. This innovative workbook presents clear, simple and effective practical recovery plans that help stroke survivors recover from the most common stroke disabilities and become capable and active again. Weekly and daily worksheets enable you to track your progress for 3 months. These recovery plans assist you to recover your ability to walk, speak, think, use your hands, eat, drink and swallow. A targeted nutritional plan helps your brain and body heal. There is plenty of work involved - but you will be in charge and there is no limit to how much you can achieve.
