Today marks my three year anniversary of my stroke.No flowers,no cake,no anniversary dinner.Just the understading my life will never be the same.I try to look at the good things. Three years ago I was in the hospital with tubes in me and I could not talk.Now I can talk but my aphasia is there.I can say with first hand knowledge it could be far worse. Two years ago I started to dive again and I could go to the store I could drive to Brooks .That made a of world of difference. One year ago I moved into our new house and I started to walk. A lot. So I try to focus on what I gained(new friends,healthy diet) and not what I lost.
