Hi, my name is John aka Hawaii for my Poker buddies. I had a stroke February 12th of this year, basically a blockage luckily it was a blockage and not a hemorrhage. And the result was the entire right side of my body was paralyzed, so my arm, my legs, my hand I couldn’t move anything at all.
Working with the FitMi
So it’s been about 4 and ½ months since I had my stroke and wanted to talk about this FitMi product because it has helped me get better. I’m fortunate because my daughter is an occupational therapist so I’ve had a little bit of private rehab.
But she loves the product because it provides feedback and she says that anything that does that and motivates you to do the exercises and get your repetitions in are going to help.
Progress
So when I first started I couldn’t move this hand or this arm or my fingers and so I couldn’t do some of the exercises with this – like pick up the puck and do the clapping, which I can do now. But it has helped me.
I’m still doing rehab at an outpatient clinic and in four and a half months I can walk now. I can move my arm and my physical therapist and occupational therapist asked what I was doing and I told them about this product and they were amazed how quickly my recovery is coming.
What’s Next
So the next thing I’m going to do is get the MusicGlove for my hand because now I’ve got movement and I know that with the repetitions that I’ve seen so far it’s gonna help me get more fine motor skills with my hand.
So for anybody thinking about one of these products, I highly recommend it because it provides the feedback and the motivation to continue to do your exercises and you get the repetitions and that’s what’s going to help you recover even faster.
So I hope that helps somebody and that’s basically it.
