Thank you Kevin for sharing your journey. My dad is currently in recovery yet, not out the woods yet. But I’m going to inspire him with your courage by showing this video. Wish you all the happiness life can bring. A true inspiration. Thank you

So sorry to hear about your dad but glad to hear he survived and is on the mend. Keep up the good work with him and he will continue to improve. Thank you so much for your kind words , it means a lot. I go into deep detail in my book if you’d like to check it out, I wrote it to help people facing similar challenges navigate through the rough waters of recovery. I hope your dad would benefit greatly from it ,and enjoy it. I’m still working on the audio version, but hardcopy is available now 🙏 👇 Taken By Surprise: A Declaration of Perseverance a.co/d/gvUQfUd

Book has been purchased. Looking forward to reading it. Just showed my wife your video and like me, astonished at how far you have come. Seeing my dad strain every sinew in his body just to move his thumb, I can’t imagine the level of fortitude and perseverance it must have taken. Absolutely fantastic. I know it must have been a difficult journey however, it was worth every step. You’re going to inspire millions Kevin. 👏👏

You’re going to inspire many people in your lifetime man!

Congratulations! & cheers!

I suffered a stroke 6 years ago. Mine was right side paralyses with dysathera. My aortic valve was also replaced (long story). I'm walking now but still can't use my lower right arm. Thanks to the tone in my right hand I can lift machine assisted weights but I can't lift much. The hardest thing is the dysathera. I like to interact with people, but talking is so hard. It takes a toll on my mental health. Thank god I have good support group. You said you have to put in the work. Is 5 to 6 days a week in the gym about right, too much or too little? I typically 1 hour of cardio and 1 hour of weights and stretching, The cardio helps me speak better. I'm hell bent on getting better... Thanks for starting a youtube channel. It gives me hope... I will buy your bookI

Yeah, I would say you are on the right track and keep up your training regimen! Cardio and weightlifting are very important for different reasons. Listen to your body and always train instinctively. That’s at least what I’ve done and it has helped me tremendously. I also have a very high protein diet to help rebuild any muscle atrophy and weakened tissue. Keep up the good fight.💪

Your my inspiration.Keep up the good work.

Thank you!

God bless you….i hope your recovery gets to 100%

Exactly! That’s the attitude 💪

You are an inspiration to everyone that has suffered a stroke because you didn't give up which can be very easy to do. I recently came across a YT channel called rehab HQ. Tara Tobias is a neurologic Physical Therapy Specialist in Orlando. She has many videos showing different exercises for all areas affected by stroke, from a neurological perspective. I would have loved to find her 8 years ago when I had a stroke.

Awesome! You are such an inspiration!

So thankful I found this I had an ischemic stroke 4years ago that paralyzed my left side and was abandoned by my family in the hospital during covid now I'm stuck in a horrible nursing home and trying not to give up the nursing home refuses to give proper physical therapy so I stay closed up in a room 24/7. Your story gives me hope

Do not give up. I have a relative who had a stroke years ago. I knew that hospital food is garbage, so I took it upon myself to take her organic fruits and veggies, fatty wild fish and sea food, and high protein foods. I brought in magnesium and a natural vitamin C. I made to take her outside so she could get vitamin D. She got better quickly, and at that time she did not get physical therapy. I think a healthy, low sugar and carb diet is the key to healing. The body does not heal with proper nutrition. Don’t give up. Find relatives and friends that will help you. You will heal!

You're quite the inspiration! Def look forward to watching more of your video's: I had two strokes last year, almost on my first year since, had my whole right side paralyzed, same part of the brain damaged but other side of my head, and im trying to keep moving forward. Anything you find helpful for working your fingers for typing in particular?

Thank you for the kind words. Tapping my affected hand and fingers to music has always been really helpful and definitely sped up improvement over the years. I’ve gotten a lot of dexterity back doing different things, will post a video soon on that. In the meantime, keep up the good fight.💪

Still a bit of a mystery to this day, although it is strongly believed, my initial ischemic stroke occurred from a previous head injury from skateboarding.

How long you took recovery arm

i had an AVM rupture on my right frontal lobe and was left weak/paralyzed on my left side. I'm 18 months post stroke. I can walk but it's not back to normal and my arm is still very weak and flexes up towards my chest. I had just got my 3rd degree black belt a week before my stroke. I started training at the age of 9. I'm working hard every day to get my life back. Squads, walking, weight baring, stretching, treadmill, etc. what exercises did you do to regain your arm?

@kevingocke

2 ай бұрын

So glad to hear you were doing well. I will upload a video, showing specific arm exercises, however, regarding combating the tone/upward flex towards your chest w/ your left arm… Try to train your tricep as well as possible. That will help combat that upward tone motion. I had the exact same problem with my left arm, and was able to completely reverse it with consistent training and new creative training ideas. Keep up the good work💪

Sorry to hear about your stroke, but great job keeping that mindset. Remember, plateaus are a myth… As long as you don’t stop, your improvement never stops. It is gradual, but the compounding effects of training inevitably add up and you will be capable of things that once seemed impossible . Keep up the good fight.💪
