Typically hospitals refer people at home, in the real world, armed only with a set of sheets of paper filled with signs, as if life could manage with a manual of 50 pages. If you follow their suggestions, everything will be fine. Take the drugs at 8.00, do exercises at 8.15, getting dressed at 9.00 ... but this manual will authorize us to deviate from the prescribed program. Your family will not die if you ever need to change the program that was set up for you. If all goes well for you, go just as well. To be clear, it's good sometimes to put plenty of time to your family that you put the socks only as an exercise for autonomy, but will do the same if at times rather than let them do alone, sometimes it will help because it has only the use of a hand because this will earn you half an hour longer indulge in some pleasurable activity. Never put yourself in a situation where the rules set by someone else become your rules. That said, it is important to establish rules for creating a kind of routine, then you must learn to organize and prioritize because you have more things to do than the time you have available. Before you know it, you risk being overwhelmed.
Who was very structured and rigid first stroke may have some difficulty in moving into a phase of life where you need to be more accommodating and available to the changes, while those who were completely devoid of organization in their lifestyle will have other types of difficulties. It will take time to find the right formula for living. The person with stroke can come home from the hospital with a new set of habits and remember that it is very difficult to abandon what has become a habit. Who did the first ever breakfast, it may now expect the breakfast served on a tray, and so 'the new dependencies could also be a problem. Can not live without TV, for instance, or wanting to 20.00 every night without fail an ice cream, take the therapy at the appointed hour with a glass of ice water without lifting a finger ... we need to evaluate each situation and quickly decide which patterns should be kept or not. Ring the bell to get something quickly from the caregiver, as was the case with the nurse, could be one of the first habits to eliminate. Should gradually bring the concept of responsibility in the patient's life, once you are sure that this is able to handle it physically and cognitively.
