I had a stroke nine years ago, which divided their life into pre and post-stroke. They used to work in marketing but can no longer do so due to the stroke. They now prioritize their family, friends, and community, considering everything else as a bonus. They find it strange how their perspective on life changed. Aphasia is a condition where a person is unable to communicate effectively through speaking, writing, reading, or understanding. This can be a scary and frustrating experience.  Marcia's book, "Stroke Forward, How to Become Your Own Healthcare Advocate One Step at a Time," can be found on Amazon. She emphasizes the importance of looking ahead and not dwelling on the past.  Listeners can visit her website http://strokeforward.com, where they can book appointments or email their questions.
