My wife's essay was posted on the National Stroke Website

She submited her essay to the NSA website and they posted it this week.

Strokes scare the hell out of me.

Wally, your wife would probably enjoy my mom's book. She wrote it after surviving a brain anyurism

That was very touching. My father had a stroke a few months ago.

I wish your wife well.

Ugh, we just found an old friend of the family had a "massive" stroke Wed.......it's likely he won't be leaving the hospital of his own volition.

Well wishes to all you folks.

Wally, I wish her well too.

Give our love to The Mrs., aka: "Funnel Cakes"

I gotta blow more bubbles, best wishes y'all

Thanks everyone.

Her Neurologist recomended this when it first happened. It was very good and somewhat frightening.

Thank you for sharing that link.  Jodi was very proud of that essay getting picked.  The years that followed were an adventure for lack of better words, and she handled all of it far better than I would have.
