“Can you live a long life after a stroke?”

Yes! Strokes come in various severity and I have seen many examples of patients who have had various severities live a long, fruitful, and joyful life! Many people have had strokes with complete recovery. When diagnosed with a stroke at a young age like you it is important to rule out a cause that can be corrected to prevent further strokes. And it is important to stay active and with enthusiasm go through the rehabilitation to recover as much of the decreased motor skills that were impacted from this stroke.

And remember your testimony to others of what you went through yet still show the joy and peace that comes from Jesus Christ can be a comfort and encouragement to others who have suffered the same attack yet felt they were all alone and life was over. That testimony can be powerful. Stay upbeat and physical and spiritual healing can be yours!!!

Yes, of course. As long as you eat healthy, keep your blood pressure and cholesterol low, and engage in regular aerobic activity.
