a stroke survivor story

Okay, so, it is not by popular demand, but I really like the video chronicling my stroke recovery, so I am going to post it again. The difference is that the music in different: it is provided by Carson Wagner. I love his music. I hope you enjoy the clip.

I had a great trip to Nebraska last week. I had a good time re-connecting with my old friends after 20 years, but the bigger story was my ability to drive all the way home and back and not be horribly tired afterward. I had a good time with 2 of my brothers and my nephew and nieces, too. Overall it was a GREAT weekend. I stumbled a little Saturday getting off the float. (I thought it would stop and I could get to my truck, but they were planning on going back to where the parade started, so I had to jump off the float and walk back to my truck).

This is a day that comes and goes in most lives, but for me, it is a big event. Today is my 20th Anniversary from High School picnic. Most of these people I have not seen in 20+ years. I have seen a few of them over the years, but it will be a good time. It is a good event in that I almost did not make it to the reunion. I am going to talk to one of my classmates today because he has his own production company, and discovery health will not talk to individuals, only production companies. My story, according to every Doctor I have seen, is very unusual. Every Dr. I have been to has said that by the time the pressure in you brain builds to the point that you have ONE stroke in you brain stem, you do not recover. I had at least TWO strokes in my brain stem, maybe three. It will be a good time; I hope to reconnect with old friends.
