Stroke clot-removal surgery is now available 24/7 in South Yorkshire for the first time - which is very good news. Sheffield’s Royal Hallamshire Hospital has extended its mechanical thrombectomy service to run day and night, seven days a week. Btw, it’s the only centre in South Yorkshire offering the procedure, and one of 24 across England...
Were YOU or a family member treated with thrombectomy?? Please let us know - and how was your recovery afterwards? Let me know in the comments below...
Until now the Sheffield service ran in normal working hours only; around 200 patients were treated that way in 2025. The overnight extension has already treated patients who’d previously have missed the time window, including a 91-year-old whose procedure was done at 2.30am; she was back on the stroke unit in Doncaster hours later. Another is is Kevin Collins, 60, from Doncaster, who had a stroke at home in April last year; collapsed, awake but unable to speak or move. He was scanned at Doncaster, found to have a large clot, and transferred to Sheffield for the procedure. In his words: “I was on the edge of death and then I was back to normal. Mechanical thrombectomy saved my life..."
How it works is that patients identified as suitable at Doncaster and Chesterfield are transferred urgently to Sheffield, then are returned to their local hospital within 24 hours for ongoing recovery.

Goals need to be a mix of highly achievable and reasonable, with a few unlikely ones thrown in which you are still going to strive for and do your best at achieving. The reason for that is that in striving for the seemingly unachievable, by default, stroke survivors will almost always achieve the achievable.

Here's a great exercise from The Successful Stroke Survivor book: Stick Steering.
You are going to mimic the action of turning a large steering wheel with both hands. The aim is to keep the bad hand on the stick whilst the wrist is put under increasing pressure as it moves past the vertical. Most people find that this is one of the most natural things they find themselves doing with these sticks. It is a really great exercise, for it threatens to pull the fingers away from the stick one by one. You have to exert a lot of control. The exercise is then taken further, as the stick is pulled across the body both w#strokerecoveryo#strokerehabilitationa#ARNIstrokerehabr#Neuroplasticityi#strokeclenchedhandd#arnistroket#NeuroRehabrehab

Life after stroke should be full of curiosity. If someone has told you that you can’t do something, or that you’ll never recover to a certain degree, challenge them.
Every stroke is different, and every recovery will be different. There are no limits since the limits are unknown!
