Os dias de Marie Botelho eram preenchidos com jardinagem, trabalhos manuais, reuni\u00f5es sociais e viagens at\u00e9 uma manh\u00e3 de fevereiro, quando acordou incapaz de mover a perna esquerda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A m\u00e3e de dois filhos e av\u00f3 de cinco filhos de Fall River sofreu um acidente vascular cerebral aos 69 anos de idade e viu-se na Centro de Reabilita\u00e7\u00e3o de Pacientes Internos Agudos da Southcoast Health <\/a>no Charlton Memorial Hospital. Tinha-se reformado como gestora de casos apenas seis anos antes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Nunca pensamos que vamos ser n\u00f3s\", diz a antiga enfermeira registada. \"Normalmente, somos n\u00f3s que escrevemos as coisas e organizamos tudo para as outras pessoas. Neste caso, foi outra pessoa que o fez por mim.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O Dr. John Magnotta, um fisiatra, explicou que Marie tinha sofrido um acidente vascular cerebral lacunar causado pelo bloqueio de uma pequena art\u00e9ria profunda no c\u00e9rebro. Mais tarde, sofreu um segundo AVC, uma extens\u00e3o do primeiro, que a deixou incapaz de andar e com o bra\u00e7o e a m\u00e3o esquerdos afectados.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depois de receber o seu diagn\u00f3stico, uma equipa m\u00e9dica completa, incluindo Dr. Magnotta<\/a>O Dr. Yen, os terapeutas, um assistente social, nutricionistas e outros profissionais planearam um tratamento intensivo para Marie, envolvendo tr\u00eas horas de terapia, cinco dias por semana<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Foi como um campo de treino\", diz Marie. \"Fiquei chocada com a exaust\u00e3o do meu c\u00e9rebro.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O Dr. Magnotta disse que a recupera\u00e7\u00e3o do AVC depende principalmente da neuroplasticidade do c\u00e9rebro, que lhe permite criar novas liga\u00e7\u00f5es e caminhos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\u00c9 preciso algum tempo, bem como a repeti\u00e7\u00e3o continuada de uma determinada atividade para que o c\u00e9rebro lesionado a incorpore no seu repert\u00f3rio\", disse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Durante 30 dias ap\u00f3s os AVC, Marie trabalhou com fisioterapeutas e terapeutas ocupacionais para reaprender coisas que antes considerava garantidas, como andar e subir quatro degraus para poder entrar em casa, e como levantar-se e lavar-se.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Recebi uma terapia maravilhosa e cuidados maravilhosos\", disse ela. \"O Dr. Magnotta visitava-me todos os dias em que estava de servi\u00e7o, como um rel\u00f3gio, para avaliar a minha for\u00e7a.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marie regressou a casa, caminhando com uma bengala. A sua reabilita\u00e7\u00e3o continuou com visitas duas vezes por semana de uma enfermeira e dos terapeutas e, depois, com a terapia em regime ambulat\u00f3rio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uma viajante experiente que no ano passado atravessou o pa\u00eds de carro com o seu filho, Marie encontrou<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A sua primeira visita \u00e0 mercearia foi aterradora, com todas as suas luzes e est\u00edmulos sonoros. Agora consegue orientar-se na loja, andar com uma simples bengala e subir escadas sozinha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O marido, Edward, continua a ocupar-se da maior parte das tarefas dom\u00e9sticas. Cozinhar, dobrar a roupa e outras actividades que envolvam a sua m\u00e3o esquerda continuam a ser um desafio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mas Marie esfor\u00e7a-se por trabalhar com os seus terapeutas e fazer os exerc\u00edcios que eles lhe prescrevem. O seu oftalmologista autorizou-a recentemente a conduzir e ela espera um dia poder retomar a jardinagem, a vida social e as viagens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Estou 80 por cento recuperada, mas quero a minha vida completa de volta\", diz ela. \"Com a ajuda de Deus, do meu marido e da minha equipa de cuidados, todos a trabalhar em conjunto, estou a fazer tudo o que posso para a recuperar.\"<\/p>","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":6561,"template":"","categories":[1231],"class_list":["post-18021","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-patient-stories"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nMarie
