In December 2016 – after Christmas, I fell over and hurt my head and didn’t remember.
I woke up again in the hospital, and I was in an intensive care ward.
I asked some questions to the nurses, but I couldn’t speak.
I was very frightened.
My fiancé tells me that I had a stroke. I had pneumonia and flu.
I had aphasia.
My whole life was changed.
Aphasia - I did not understand.
Could I go back to work? If so, when?
When could I go out with fiancé and friends?
My life was completely a mix-up!
After seven weeks I came to my home.
The Speech therapists came to help me.
I was trying to talk better – I must be a bit better??
I wanted to speak well.
I opened my computer and typed in the ‘search’ - APHASIA.
I was reading so much to learn. In the USA, Australia, New Zealand and I discover to that many have people with Aphasia.
I read about aphasia to books writing by a suffering Aphasia, or to can be learned about science neurology, articles by doctors about research. Apps helped spellings, memory, speak, even grammarly.
The people are some speechless. Some could not read.
Some could not write, but one person can speak.
There are many types of Aphasia.
Many changes difficult by people with aphasia are having problems more than I have.
I have been meeting new people, who have a stroke. They are some people had lost to the walk. People may be an unresponsive arm – many on the right side. Some people able go cannot outside. Some many memories lost, their families, their life.
I think that I cannot speak it my biggest problem.
I will speak!
