Great to be alive and be here. I'm sure most can relate to that. Thank you Ram for mentioning my group, it's hard work but growing nonetheless.
As for me I am a 32 year old married female with 2 kids, Amanda-12 & Evan-7. I live in Michigan. I stroked on 12/24/99 at age 30 nice x-mas present huh? lol.
I had a massive brainstem locked in stroke. I go to Bill's
site quite often, my biography is in his pages too.
At first all I could do is blink & move my eyes back and forth. I however couldn't deal with being that way for the rest of my life so I vowed I would get better. My left side is almost normal now just slightly weak. My right and dominate side works since I don't have any paralysis but is coming along slower than the left because it was harder hit.

I've come from being tube fed to eating and drinking normally now. I can walk but do not yet by myself because of my confidence in my balance. My vision is fine thankfully. I can talk now too so you can understand me. I couldn't talk at first and for you that know me, that's torturous, as I like to gab:) alot.
I look forward to getting to know you better. If you are interested in joining my group or know someone who's
