You've certainly got the determination to recover - perhaps totally.
All the best,

Wow Rowland! It must have be a karma thing, because everything you say
on your website is something that I have said at one time or another.
Yesterday I spoke to a large group of patients and staff at a rehab
hospital. I was so honored to talk to them--to show them that you can get
through it and also be happy (which is truly a choice). I had wished that
when I had my hemorrhagic stroke that someone like me now could have walked over my hospital room threshold to show me where I could get.
I do my best to be that person for others that are in the condition that
I was so long ago--but so fresh in my mind.

I was featured in People mag and Good Morning America and since
those events, I get tons of email from survivors. I would love to
refer them to this forum as well as your website for further support.
God Bless you for everything that you are...
with love, julia
