    Introduction!

    Kristenhe, Yes, well I am unsure of how it would be if I was older and suffering from hemiparesis but mine is on my right side. I have decreased sensation on my hands and face specifically that I realize. I cant feel food on my right side of my face, i cant feel when my nose is running, When I hold my hands up and look at my left compared to my right, my right hand and fingers are bent backwards i guess you could say where my left hand is a typical as compared to most other individuals. I am left handed actually also. My fine motor skills for my right hand are very poor. I cant feel keys, money, coins, pens, pencils, silverware with my right hand. Those are just some things of probably many that I cant feel with my right hand. I have no spasticity from my stroke. IF you dont mind me asking what is your left hemiparesis like for you?

    Introduction!

    Thank you everyone and Great meeting all of you! Its great meeting and getting to know others out there who are individuals who are going through similar experiences. I look forward to getting to know you all and continuing to raise awareness and supporting each other!
  6. So I am a newbie to this site and to blogging in general. I want to take the time to introduce myself. I am probably one of the youngest ones on this site. I am 23 years old and a Stroke survivor. My story is unlike anyone else's I have ever heard of or that anyone that I know of has ever heard of. I survived a stroke at birth. Yes, you read that right, at BIRTH. I have overcome many hurdles and obstacles to get to where I am today. I have become a successful young woman today working in a career I love and devote my life to. I have accomplished goals I never thought I could accomplish in my life. I was able to graduate not only high school but college also where I earned my degree in Occupational Therapy. I struggled all my life when it came to academics. I have right hemiparesis, but nobody would know unless I told you my miracle story. My goal while being on this site is to provide support possibly to any parents out there going through what my parents did when I was a baby. Or to give support to anyone out there having difficulty with their own challenges or obstacles they may be suffering from. I wish everyone the best and I cant wait to hear everyone's remarkable story! Remember to always have Faith, Hope and Love in your life. God Bless!
