Never Give Up

By never giving up, you may begin to see your life is NOT over

My name is Susan. At the age of 40, I suffered 2 strokes, neither which affected me.

However, a year later I suffered another which paralyzed my left side. Luckily I am right handed. After 2 years I was living independently, then 7 years later driving.

My motto was I was NOT going to let the stroke win, I wanted my life back.
