BOY TIMES HAVE CHANGED!!

Well........

I HAD A STOKE!!!!!

Yes, you read that right, I had a stroke! I had a Ischamic stoke in the thalamus. I still am in shock that this happened and it's been almost 2 weeks. One week in the hospital and  one  week home trying to start therapy and make sense of the non-sense. So today I am writing about it and I am having to accept it. I am having to realize that this is really my life and it  has turned upside down and inside out.  HOWEVER I will not let it take my life as I know it. I am a tough cookie and I know that I am more than what a stroke has left behind.  I am putting it out there, today I am shouting it out that I WILL BEAT WHAT A STROKE HAS LEFT ME WITH.  I have been left with some crummy side affects and I will never understand why? I will however over come what has been given to me and some how rise above it.  Today, I am putting it out into the world what I have  been given and today making it known that I will rise above it all to be a even better version of my old self.

 This blog will take on new meaning as it will be a place for me to talk about my recovery and share my sweet joys that I still observe and experience.  I have a hard time with speech and writing so this also will be a form of therapy as writing period is hard for me but the more I do the better I get.  Sooo... bear with me and so begins the ride.
