Recovery Guaranteed

Recovery Guaranteed or your money back! Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Having a stroke presents you with the biggest decision of your life.

Everything you'd hoped for and wanted in your world just came to a screeching halt. You’re now flat on you back in a hospital bed with friends and family hovering over you. Doctors and nurses doing everything to help you live. Only one problem, do you want live?

Everyone wants to live don't they? In reality the answer is no not everyone. Some chose to give up and be looked after for the rest of their lives. What a shame. What a waste.

Of course they know in their heart that there's nothing they can do. People just don't get better so why fight it. In some cases they hope to die but they don't. In fact they can last for decades.

Who wants to do nothing for decades?

Even prisoners doing “life” have a better life than survivors who just give up. They get to move around doing jobs and exercising every day at the prison.

On the positive side of life there are people who get better. Luck has nothing to do with it. Those who get better want to get better and work at it. Yes work. OK a lot of work but did you have anything more important to do? No, you didn't.

While we're talking one of my favorite thoughts is, “what did I do to deserve this?” Nothing but at least it free, no charge and it's as individual as you are. Let start again, “so what you going to do about this?”

Make a choice because it really is the biggest decision of your life. Choosing to get better is your best bet. If you knew you could get better wouldn't you choose yes to get your life back? Of course you would, everyone would say yes if it was a guaranteed outcome.

Willing to take that chance? Good. Simpler than you thought.

The big secret is you have the rest of your life to get better. I didn't say it will take the rest of your life I said you have the rest of your life. With the help of the doctors, nurses and therapists who are more than willing to help you there's nothing to lose. Don't you just love a nice win/win situation?

Nothing like having a plan and it's all yours. Not the doctors, nurses and therapists plan but yours. They help with forming it but it's yours to do. You get what you put into it so go wild.

Just think how you'll feel when you start getting back even the smallest thing. Recovery is on the way. You'll want more and work harder to get back more, it's a vicious circle and you'll love it.

So let's go back to the beginning. You've faced with the biggest decision of your life. Choosing to get better seems a lot more attractive when sitting on the fence waiting for death or a miracle.

Congratulations so ready, set, go!
