Ugh, I can't believe I had a stroke!

It's true what they say; strokes don't age discriminate. Oh well, I know "be positive, be grateful," but we all have days where unusual thoughts can get the best of us.

It's GONE! No more loop recorder!

My implantable loop recorder (ILR) is GONE! My surgery was super smooth!

Disabilities can't keep us down!

Too many times we think we're stuck, but things like the Special Needs Spartan Course, and Brooks Adaptive Sports are there to remind us to keep pushing, especially mentally. Limits are what we put on ourselves!

Eff my stroke

No matter what, I never let my stroke get the best of me. See right after brain surgery, I was determined to write. My mom has a copy of what I wrote (scribble) on her fridge. I again was determined to do whatever I possibly could to get better.

Welcome to Stroke30 blog. My hope is to inspire stroke survivors!
