Decided to give an UPDATE. Three months ago; the first couple days of ICU I could not speak;very slowly I spoke a very little; a word misspelled here and there. Until I left the Hospital I continued speaking more;but just maybe two or three words together. Oh I was so distressed; ; but I kept until I had to stop due to wicked headaches!! I had a large area of my left temperol Infarct that died with a small blood clot. Had an appointment on June 9th with another scan. So far so well until December due to to much radiation!
I still continue working with my Speech Therapy person and have her once a week for an hour until mid September. I have begun to get better speaking with more sentences; my hardest is when I speak to fast and transpose words. I will not give up though.
Having this PC and Word processor has helped me so much' I would not know if I came this well! PIEERE

Keep going for as long as you can, then do 10% more. The brain has amazing recuperative powers. Best of luck and keep us up-to-date.

I haven't kept up on my Stroke health! I have been doing somewhat better. I speak more fluently now and don't feel as awkward when I have to meet others! I still have problem with speaking on the telephone! But Hay! Improvements are what we want! I do not have my Library Hotspot as often so I can't communicate as much! Thanks again! PIEERE

Good to hear, Edd. And, I'm not so sure that a number of us don't have issues talking on the phone.
