My Stroke

Hi I'm Linda, I had a stroke in 2004, like others I had to learn to walk and talk again along with just learning life again. I went back to my office job after a year and it was horrible. Although my co-workers knew I had suffered a stroke the didn't understand "the stroke." It was a horrible time, I ended up leaving that job. I never really understood the impact of what the stroke had done to me. The next 10-15 years my husband and I looked after my beautiful mother and father until mom passed away in 2014 and that's when i looked at my life and thought "what are you doing" I found a wonderful Psychologist and this woman helped me realise that just because I had a stroke, there are things I want to do with my life. I started to study counselling and have since completed my course. It was the best thing I ever did. I now realise I am worth something. I realise I went through all these years depressed thinking "I've had a stroke I can't do that." I'm 58 and am now going to start my life. CAN NOT WAIT:)
