Stroke, Aphasia, I just want it to be done, but, we have a ways to go.....

Ok, so it has been 2.9 years sense the stroke buttered me up and left me to toast with:
1. The Stroke
and
2. Aphasia

I really came out no worse for wear with the paralysis, did not have it at all. But the brain is an odd beast. Speech went with the stroke. Speech was the on thing I had going for me. In fact I used allegories and metaphor to explain everything. I could break it down into the parts for a Sales Rep to see and make since of it. That and Excel. Excel was a dream. In fact I can use Excel today better than I did prior to the stroke. But without the speech, it is nada.

You can see my writing has come along, it is still not up to the stroke prior, but it is coming along nicely. Now I could rant and rave about the stroke and the Aphasia, but what of it, it happened to me and I am glad not to be dead. Now if the Speech would get down to business things would be great. But it is slow going with the Speech. In fact the center of my brain that use to handle speech was fried out. Now it is growing on my right side. Or that is what they tell me. Who knows at this point.

Speech I say!

Speech!
