I was just listening to a podcast – Crappy to Happy with Cass Dunn. It was the episode with Sally Callie who had an AVM and a stroke while she had brain surgery.
I did cry during the episode – that is usual for me now J - but it did give me ideas and purpose again. Purpose seems to come and go during the journey after stroke, so this was so positive for me. I have just had a period of feeling that this is the best I can be but after listening to this episode, I know that I can get even better.
The part of the podcast that made the most impact on me was that Sally spoke about taking control over your own health, look for ways to improve and to not wait for someone else to tell you what your body is capable of. No one else knows your body as well as you do.
This podcast came to me at the perfect time. Smiles all around :)
