My Stroke Speaks 22 mins
Four years after my stroke, while still in the early stages of recovery, I stood in front of an audience at Caesars Palace with cue cards. Since then, my recovery—and my message—has evolved into a powerful, rare perspective of a well-adjusted, genuinely content survivor, with few regrets. My own hell and reincarnation as a survivor: I was skiing when I was hit by a snowboarder, who did not stop. Dissected carotid, and other injuries, and then a stroke on the operating table: I woke in the ICU with left side paralysis; I couldn’t add 2+2, read a book or tie my shoe. Mine is a story of inspiration, hope, humor and advice. After my stroke, I quickly realized there are many other survivors who need a voice and a forum. I sought out survivors from around the world. Hence, Different Strokes: my stroke in the first part, the second, with intimate interviews with 20 survivors, family and caretakers.
