@josiedooley_: I spent hours in hospital with my eyes shut, imagining the feeling of being underwater again. I was terrified I would never surf after my stroke. With the help of my physios and the people who stood by me, I learned how to start again from the beginning. One year later, I paddled out on my own and caught my first clean wave. I am so grateful to be back in my favourite place. #strokesurvivor #strokerecovery

It was all you but give a nod to those PT and OTs that live for this success. Fellow PT here and know how much your PT/OT valued you getting back to what you love.
