On October 13, 2015 I introduced myself to 350 people. These where doctors, nurses,
SLPs, PTs and OTs. I told these individuals that I am a stroke survivor and I have
aphasia.
I was sitting with 3 other SLPs and another stroke survivor who also has aphasia. We
were both nervous but as soon as I started to speak my nervousness came to an end.
The feeling was calm from that point on. There was a time when I could not speak,
read or write.
We spoke for roughly an hour. We were asked many questions about healthcare. After
my stroke I was not able to do much of anything at that time. After 4 years my life, my
new life is getting better.
