I would do this again for a few days then try and go a bit further!
well done Des. I had my stroke nearly 4 years ago. Since then we go a walk every afternoon down a lane and I have gradually walked a bit farther each time. I measure it by the trees.go passed a tree at a time a littler bit further each time on a good day. Its my head it always feel like vertigo all the time. My limbs are ok so I have alot tobe thankful for its my balance that gives me a lot of trouble.Best wishes to you all. Norma.
I also have balance problems especially when fatigue hits me.You are not alone Norma. Jenny
well done.its early days for you but you will get stronger and further.15months after my stroke I'm still improving going further and faster on good days,and stopped worrying about the bad ones.keep it up Best Wishes.
Des, well done! I well remember my first goal of walking to a lampost. It does take time to build yourself up, so please don't rush. It's taken me 18 months to reach the point where I'm looking at returning to work. I didn't realise just how many different ways the stroke affected me. Be patient & kind with yourself, everyone is different.
You're doing great to be walking that far so soon! It took me months to build up to that==a few yards at a time each day. Now, after 2 3/4 years I am up to 1 1/4 miles a day. My next goal is 1 1/2, then hopefully 2 miles. Effort, perserverence and a never-give-up, positive attitude do the trick. My best to you! Love Jeanne
Glad you are doing well I was lucky mine was a mild stroke it's been a month now and my GP said after a phone call that I can drive so been out for a drive today and no problem
Well done - I'm also walking (slowly) around my local par, takes a while to build up confidence.
had a stroke in February and am now back at work but only a couple of hours a day
Nice one! 
Thanks hope all is well with you ?
