A member asked:

Boated all my life. havent been in one since stroke. is it time to sell the boat and lake home?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Absolutely not: Safe boating depends on your ability to handle the boat mentally and physically. You have a goal to recover as much of your pre-stroke abilities. You may need some help at first, but definitely push towards the goal of keeping the boat and the lakeside home. It will be a huge positive mentally.
