I know there are lots of people out there trying to find answers to "How do I repair my stroke?". Or "How do I help someone to repair their stroke?".

The internet contains endless hours of reading on this very subject.  If you're still searching it must be that you haven't found what you're looking for.

You've gone to the doctor and only manage to get so far, same thing with a therapist. You could be spending a lot of money in these pursuits but you haven't got back all you lost. Maybe you should read what a stroke survivor has to say. A stroke survivor who lost so much they were deemed unable to recover but did anyway.

I was paralyzed down the left side of my body. Couldn't talk and I didn't know the difference between an A and a B so I couldn't read. I recognized my wife and kids but didn't know their names. Many connection in my brain were short circuited so some things just didn't make sense.

I invented therapies to add to what the therapists were teaching me. It became my breakthrough. The more I gained the harder I worked.

For those still searching for their personal breakthrough I suggest reading my book which so many people told me I should write.

Here is proof of what I invented which I write about in my book "I had a Stroke, didn't like it so I got rid of it".

I'm a member of  a Toastmaster club and this is my 9th club speech.

I hope you find this speech inspirational and it sets you on a path to recovery.
