5 year stroke story


What sad I saw the story of Michelle from Pennsylvania and that her mother had a stroke. I had a stroke due to a heart valve problem . It filled so much of head, they thought I would die. I didn't know my parents, siblings, my daughter, or even my husbands name. I could only point to him. I had no memory, but I could feel they were connected to me. I hated hospitals and was scared to death. They sent therapist that day. I didn't want to see anyone. They helped me my first year. I was depressed and so sad. The next year we moved closer to my parents who helped me. Then a seizure hit me. Always something. Living with my parents helped me so many ways. My husband gave me homework. I wrote names over and over - so many pages until I could say there names and it still helps me every day. Sometimes I can spell the words before I can say it. Its irritating to me, but I finally have a good attitude. I have curse words I never did before. I am working and praying every day. My numbers are horrible. I can't read very much and that is so important to me. What patience & love they have dealing with me. I will never be the same person, but I am better before my 5 year old stroke. Don't ever think it's too late for many of us. I pray for all of us.

Ps. My husbands helped me with our story.
