Jan, it never ceases to amaze me the power of the human spirit to
overcome whatever we are faced with. I agree with you that it is
so important to share our stories with each other as well as with
folks that haven't encountered what we have--I think it is a good
reminder that something can happen in a split second that could
change your life forever. Mine has been forever altered, but I wouldn't
trade all the wonderful experiences and people that have come into my
life--that wouldn't have occurred or appeared without my stroke.
Hard to believe, but I feel it has been a gift. Of course, I hate the
devastation it has done to my body in it's wake--but the untangible
things have been a blessing. Keep up the good fight and continue to
smile. A kindred spirit, julia
