About Me

I am a mother of a wonderful little girl, I had my first stroke when she was 14 months old, followed by a second one a month later (a progression of the first one). My stroke was caused from a dissected carrotid artery from a car accident, the second one was caused by the artery opening and releaseing a clot from the site of the dissection.

 

I live in a small mountain town without many medical resources available, so I am unable to receieve spech therepy at this time. I have learned to use computer brain games to help improve my memory and cognitive problems and spend a lot of time typing and handwriting to help wuth my Aphasia. I recently started taking a couple online classes to try and challenge myself further, not sure how thATS going to work out, lol.

 

The good that came from my stroke is learning to slow down and being able to spend time with my family and enjoy my daughter growing up. This will be the first Christmas in ten yeaars tyhat I have not worked, and it is a blessing. :)
