Survivor

I had a stroke two years ago. I have recovered quite well, but still cannot work. I am on disability and had to move back home with my dad. I have the support of my son, daughter, and ex-wife, along with friends. I had a CVA caused by a clot. I am on a lot of medication and supplements. It definitely changes your life, but you can get through it. My faith in God is an important part of my recovery. I also have developed Epilepsy, due to the brain damage I sustained.

Be positive, work hard, and love a lot. You can make it! God Bless, Steve
