You can also find me at http://strokeland53.blogspot.ca/
The first link is to the facebook page where I began my forays into the fast paced world of one finger typing . since I first entered Strokeland my darling wife has asked me repeatedly to chronicle my struggles and adventures in the blasted landscape of my injured brain and to do my part to help my fellow travellers , the scattered survivors labouring to navigate the strange landscapes where they have been deposited . I have been there , starving for information , WHO? WHAT? WHY ? WHERE?and for direction , a signpost somewhere to point the way and my wife was as usual , right . My hope is that this expanded forum will aid me in my quest to aid the others , to provide some info , to point the way or A way to say I've been there and I got to here and I want to help you do the same , do better.if you squint and peer way off into the distance you'll see me , I'm still wandering out here trying to map this upsidedown world so shout and wave your arms , let me know you are out there and we can make the journey together
About Us
- phil
- When one partner suffers a stroke; life is turned upside down, but when you have both partners who have been struck with a serious illness; it can be a devastating blow I was the first one at 47 years of age to suffer with what doctors call a series of thunderclap migraines which resulted in a bleed on the right side of my brain a Cerebral Hemorrhage). After a long series of tests, MRI's, and CT scans, the doctors referred to my "stroke" as "Call Fleming Syndrome"; The date was November 19, 2011. I will never forget that day. Then on July 29, 2014 Phil at 53 was struck down with a massive stroke which resulted in a bleed in the (Basal Ganglia) this was a day that dampened what was the beginning of a joyous summer ;( we had two sons marry Nick in June and Cory in July) This blog voices Phil's experiences on learning to live and walk again. We hope to share our story , experiences, frustrations, and how we have had to struggle, but at the same time still find joy in being together and being alive will help others not only find hope but better understand what a stroke is and steps to take to help avoid one. Each day we find new reasons to get up and do it all again.
