hey slmstrokeangel:

I myself think I suit perfectly well to handle stroke survivor title, I can carry that title with grace but role of caregiver I think I might not be very suitable for, so I like to believe God knows what he was doing.

you are great survivor, I have had more pity parties than you ever had on this board.

You know what, Asha, I never thought I'd be a good caregiver either. I think many of surprise ourselves when we look back at how far we've come as caregivers...just like survivors progress, so do we in our coping and caring skills.

Sharon, thanks for the compliment! You ARE a strong woman, too. Look what all you've dealt with since your stroke. We can be strong and still need other people in our lives to help from time to time.
