We all survived.

 

Some of us survived better than other, nevertheless, we survived for an another day. We still have problems, either mental and/or physical, but we are still with our family and friends. We still have to deal with rehab, use speech, physical, occupation therapists, nurses, technicians, and doctors. We still need them as they are here to assist us, gave advice, and guidance. Without them, our recoveries should be more demanding, challenging or even gone astray. We all should give them a pat on their backs and praise them for a good job well done.

 

However, there are other people who have been with us from the beginning as well, from that first day of our shattered lives, stood beside our beds, helped us to be strong and to hold us went to are tired, despondent, or just needed a warm hug. These are our families: our children and our partners. Without them, we may not have got up every day and did our rehab, continued with positive views, and looked forward to our sunny futures.

So, to all of our families, we love you and thank you for looking out for us during our road to recovery. We couldn't have done this without you.

 

Thank you.

 

Is there somebody or group you would like to thank you during your recovery?

Hi Marcus

 

True True, the ability to say thank you for those who stood by us, believed in us, were there signing consents to allow treatments to occur to save our lives. 

 I have often throughout the years reflected on just how much knowledge went into and the people power that went into saving my life, giving me the opportunity to recover and live my life as I chose.  I live my life with a deep appreciation for all that I have.

I thank many people from the past and also the people I am now coming across in my future as I continue to create awareness of stroke in our community where I live.

Hi Marcus and Sue - I was thinking about how the weekend conversations are titled.

 

It may be good to include the topic that the conversation is about it the title - so that others in the community know what it's about and then click on - Your thoughts?

Hi Diana, 

 

A good idea for the next Weekend Conversation,  although I discern only three or four people read these conversations. A pity but that is what it is.

 

Weekend Conversation - 'Who would you like to thank you?'

Hi Marcus,

 

I think the new title looks fantastic. You would be surprised about how many people read the threads - they may not comment but they sure are reading!
