The Tales of a Stroke Patient

“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
