June is Aphasia Awarness Month. There are actually six types of Aphasia each one is differt. Mine is Brocas Aphasia. One of the symptoms of Brocas Aphasia is limited writing abilites and reading. Each one of my posts takes me a week to finsh but I think its a form of therapy. I am still working on my reading but it so hard.
Yesterday on are Zoom call Dr. Tom Broussard joined the call. He is a stroke survior and author.He said he used a stroke diary after his stroke and it helped.
Hopefully my next post does not a week to finish.

After two weeks in the hospital I was transferred to Brooks rehab .There I spent two weeks of speech, physical and occupational therapy before I was sent home for outpatient therapy . After I was home Brooks offers an outpatient service that is outstanding. I can ‘t say enough about Brooks. Everybody that I saw was fabulous Most insurance only covers a set amount of visits for outpatient services, mine was twelve. After that you are on your own.Twelve one hour visits is not enough. I can not explain what Aphasia feels like, I can not find words(I still have my sense humor). Luckily Brooks offers a Aphasia Center where people with aphasia can go two times a week. There others with Aspasia meet and talk a about various things.
