The Tales of a Stroke Patient

Book excerpt: "I was up all night reading. I laughed, cried and my heart was touched. My friend recently began to ignore me and doesn't want me to visit . Your blog really made me see what a survivor sees and feel what they feel. Because of your willingness to share, I now know that I'm doing the right thing by hanging in there." Jada Thompson, a Reader "Oh Joyce.... Really touched my heart. There are no "happy words" to make this "better". But you are facing it head-on, win or lose, and that says so much about your character." Anna Bofill, IT Professional "Takes my breath away. Powerful beyond words. Really a gem!" Judy Freeman, Retired Teacher You have expanded my knowledge greatly! Keep up the good research and writing! Laurel Nichols, Cardinal Hill Rehabilitation Hospital "I was a reporter and I won an AP award [for an] editorial in 99.... I'm damaged goods and words fail me, sort of a blank slate.... I keep pluggin' away, nose in the dictionary and thesaurus, hunting out words. I'm unsinkable." Mickie Roller, Stroke Survivor
