Stroke - small steps

Recovery progress is painfully slow these days.  For the last week I have had more energy in the mornings after breakfast. Until about a week ago I'd have breakfast  and then be totally exhausted. For about a week now I have managed to do a few household tasks before resting. The progress is small, but this is progress and I am grateful for it. I still get exhausted but not quite as badly. I seem to require rest, but I am not totally "done in".

All I want is my old self back. Energy to do things I always enjoyed!  To be able to drink a cup of tea or coffee or a glass of water without choking most times - life's simple pleasures you don't realise until they are no longer possible.
