No one has what I have There are 4.8 million survivors
I can't do it Back up and go around the mud
It's not working Try again, don't give up
If you were me you'd understand All of us 4.8 mil. understand
This just gets me mad Channel that anger into recovery.
It's so slow Keep a positive attitude
I'm not as good as my friend Don't compare yourself to others
How? Do
When When it happens
Why Because you're worth it
How do I keep a good attitude? Help others
How do I help other strokers? Do find, ask and encourage
This may be the hardest thing you have ever done in your life and it will take longer than anything else to recover from than you've ever had. Don't give up you are worth it Do not throw out a perfectly good human being, work with your abilities not your disabilities Give neuro plasticity time to work. It does work call to find out.

A WEB SITE FOR AVM., ANEURYSM AND STROKE SURVIVORS AND THEIR CARE GIVERS
Want help taking a whack at stroke? We'll help you get
your life back. This is done on a voluntary basis, we do not charge
anything, it is for free and we would love to help you return to a
higher level of functionality as so many of us have. We are also
looking for individuals that have attained recovery to join us in this
unique effort and volunteer in helping others do the same on a world
wide basis!
The hope for stroke organization was established with
the two following factors in mind: That the devastating effects of
stroke cause up to 60% of us to be depressed. I was depressed although
I did not realize it at the time. I came back from being paralyzed,
unable to talk, move or do anything for myself...anything! I spent a
full year in Hospitals and Nursing Homes and when I got out I could
move only one hand slightly. Today I'm fully functional... The other is
the biological fact that Neuro-Plasticity can
take a long time but it does work.. We are tough on stroke and want to
help you beat it back. Make that call, it may be the best thing you've
ever done. If you have attained recovery and would like to help others
to do the same, volunteer... the pay is great if you like that feeling
of watching some one else recover and you know that you've had a part
in it. ___________________________________________________________________________________
