My name is Carolyn Shashaguay and I am 64 years old.

Back in February 2016 I experienced a brain bleed. That resulted in a stroke and my entire right side I couldn’t move.

I was in intensive care for one week and then I was moved to a hospital rehab. They were able to work with me and I was able to walk with a four-point cane when I was released.

After Release from the Hospital

I still couldn’t do much with my right arm.

My goal from the rehab was just to have me function where I could shower and get around with a wheelchair and be able to do small things.

I then started rehab, or I would go to rehab, and Icontinued doing that for 4 months. After that they told me that was all the improvement i should ever expect.

Then I was able to find the FitMi on the internet.

Continuing Therapy on Her Own

I was not going to give up so then I renewed my progress and it was able to measure it and actually I found a lot of progress and continued to improve.

The FitMi was something I could do myself.

My husband got it loaded on the computer and I was able to do it – it was fun.

I then continued to improve. Now I can currently drive and ride my bike and I travel and my husband and I do things together.

I have my confidence back and my abilities continue to improve.

And as far as the FitMi I have loved using it. You can see the progress continued on the scale on the computer.

It was easy to follow and easy to set up and I recommend anyone especially if they’ve been told they can’t improve. Because your brain will actually improve when you train it and that’s what you learn with the FitMi.

You get your courage back and you continue to improve because the body is amazing.
