Stroke I’m A Survivor

Ten years ago I suffered a heart attack and I survived. Next step off I went to Cardiac Rehab, I was only 46 years old. I was like their mascot and most of the people there are older. Well that was a walk in the park compared to the two strokes I had 5 years ago. With a heart attack you feel very tired. Now I am retired disabled.

My prior life was a busy, successful Real Estate Career-After the heart attack I became a Mortgage Officer for 10 years and then I stroked twice off I went to Stroke Rehab . After you open your eyes You think everything is fine. They tell you, you can’t get out of bed and the sides are up. Well one nurse happen to leave the side down and I decided to walk to the bathroom I took two steps and collapsed on the floor. That is when I realized I would never be the same person I was. Then my husband & son came into the room and told me. I have to have Risky Carotid Artery Surgery. I survived again. Now I can tell you from personal experience, with a Stroke, every day you find out something else you cannot do & you’ll never be the same person you was, When I sat down at a computer at Occupational Therapy my left fingers wouldn’t move like they used to I have to use my index finger to type with my left hand. I used to be able to type as fast as someone talked. It affected my left side but my right side was fine. My husband said it never affected my ability to talk and the Speech Therapist was pleased with my annunciation, my husband not so much.Ha Ha I have gone through Cardiac Rehab & Stroke Rehab I never got the messages or the jacuzzi or any good meds just a lot of hard work. Needless to say I was depressed. I cried a lot & a Therapist asked me if I was suicidal Heck no I am fighting to survive. I could not believe that she said that to me. I thought I deserved a pity party after what I have gone through. After several years I was very bored sitting on the coach. I needed to stimulate my mind, renew my self esteem & give me a sense of self worth. no more coach potato for me I decided to start an internet business. Now I never was savvy on the internet. I consider myself a newbie. I made a lot of mistakes, lost a lot of money but I have persisted. I just knew if I learned from the Master I could make some money at what I used to call the “The Internet”" “The Black Hole”where you pour money into.. Now I can honestly say I have found my third career and my last most likely, on the internet. That it is no longer The “Big Black Hole” to me. I highly recommend it to Stroke Survivors & anyone else that wants to stimulate your mind and You can make a lot of money at it,too. So I recommend turn off that TV, Get off that couch. Join me on the internet. As my Mentor Tellman Knudson would say “You Can Overcome Everything”
